My parents like film cameras but they are finding film harder and harder to find. So, they have decided to get a digital camera. I convinced them that before they go out and buy something that I might look around to see what good cameras there are out there. I'm thinking of all the closed source image formats there are out there that are used in cameras and was wondering what options there were for open source image capturing cameras? (I'm hoping I don't have to mention all the problems with closed source for you guys to understand why nobody should want it.) Don't bother with price yet, I'd like to know whats out there first, they will decide if the price is right. The camera should have optical zoom (Always a good thing.) They don't care much if it is 1080p. If you suggested a video camera that could take stills, that would be fine too.
