'A group of senior citizens' could be anything from a bunch of confused
half-wits drooling onto their ginger nobs (in which case invite them to join
the PDML), to half of Magnum*, in which case tell them to buy 3 Leica M9s
each. 

It might be worth finding out what they already know about photography and
what film cameras they've liked before, then pitch it around the equivalent
digital ones. Not forgetting to mention that the camera is only a small part
of the equation. There's also the card, the computer, the editing, the
printing, the flame wars on the photo lists, and the seething hatred you
experience when you realise you're out-of-day from day 1.
