 A grandpa with shaky hands won't help any, TD. For those quick grab shots, an entry level DSLR is not quick on the draw and many of those priceless moments will be lost.

My suggestion is for you to stick to the P&S, and there so many of them out there that are small, quick to operate, shoots good video, amazingly sharp lenses and best of all, grandpa can just slip it into his pocket for handheld, self-pointed videos. You can't do that with a heavy and bulky DSLR.

For the P&S, the modern ones from a lot of brands are great and have few differences. I shoot with Canon IXUS series and Canon S90 and haven't used my big DSLR in 3 years.

Hope this helps. grandpa
