grandma.

I suggest http://www.bhphotovideo.com

Search digital cameras.
Refine search for 3" LCD.
Then sort results by price.

Sorry, but given your criteria, that's the best I can do.

With DEEP pockets there is the Canon 1Ds MkIII. :-)

It's not pocket size. That's a 1.4Kg monster (body only), which with a
lens should be in the 2-3 Kg range.

Gee -- why do you need a 3" LCD ? Are you too old, and cannot see
properly ? Are you far-sighted ?

In this case, you better sit at home, and do not make any pictures --
you will not do good pictures, anyway...

All we know is that the camera will be for granny. We don't know what
granny's vision is like.

I bought the Canon SD630 for my wife, precisely because it has the 3"
display (and no viewfinder). She's had laser eye surgery and now, for the
first time in her life, doesn't need glasses while driving. But the house is
peppered with $1.00 reading glasses. She traded her near vision for far.

To me, this camera is the ultimate "point and shoot". There isn't even a
viewfinder to confuse the issue. Just hold up the camera, frame the shot as
best you can, and shoot. And, with that MASSIVE 3" display, she can actually
see what it was that she just shot.

For her, it's a good thing. For me, eh.

For granny, it may be just the ticket.
