A caller made us aware of a problem with most digital camera designs. She has a friend who is missing his right hand. Most digital cameras have the shutter release on the right side.
Is there a solution?
Yes. There are a small number of upright digital cameras on the market.
This is a picture of the new Canon TX1. While this camera is a little pricey, there are cameras with similar designs made by Panasonic, Sany and Aiptec.

I am after a left handed panasonic tz3 digital camera or any other quality camera, not just cheap rubbish.
A low-end solution would be a camera phone with the shutter button on the front, so it could be used with either hand. Of course, picture quality isn’t as good as with a dedicated camera.
At the other end of the spectrum, if you want excellent pictures, and can afford a higher cost, get a digital SLR, such as a Canon Rebel XTi, along with a wireless remote shutter release, and use a tripod.
