would a tripod be usefull in this case?  many cameras of this type come
with remote controlls, would this perhaps help?

Subject: Left handed video cameras?


Dear Easi colleagues;

I received an interesting question from a woman with MS who no longer
has
feeling in her right hand.  She used to be a photographer (still
photography) but found holding the camera too difficult.  Now she hopes
to
resume her career using a digital video camera but as you might know,
most
of them (if not all) are designed for right handed users.  She simply
doesn't have the fine motor control to operate it with her right hand.
Can
anyone point me to some products or resources that might help her?

Thanks,
Kathy
