Any FujiFilm camera in my experience (three FujiFilm cameras over many
years, all excellent) would meet your/her requirements. Good quality
photos too. Only reason to change camera has been improvements over the
years.
Shotwell is very easy and comes up when you connect the camera.

Sadly not; my mum's current camera (she dropped and broke it) doesn't

You should be grateful, although I apologise if it came across as
demeaning (it probably did). My mum has lost her confidence in the last
