My wife presently uses a Canon A1200 point and shoot camera, but it has annoying dust in the viewfinder and a hot pixel or other flaw in the sensor.  We're thinking of getting her a new camera. Only two criteria for the new camera: easy to use and must have an optical viewfinder.  It appears that few cameras meet these criteria. The A1400 and the G15 are the least expensive.  We're familiar with the A1400 but are wondering if the G15 might be a better camera for her. Any thoughts about the G15 for someone who has a good photographic eye but doesn't want to hassle with the technical details?

G15 seems a good choice. Compact, good IQ, fast lens with good zoom range, easy to use if on full automatic, VF, price went down.
