Gary,

I am Legally Blind.  (Vision is currently 20/200 and 29/400.)  I FINALLY
found a 35 mm film camera that I can use with ease.  (I got some AWESOME
shots from Central and Western Europe this summer.  I fount the Canon Elan
II, NOT the Canon Elan IIe, to have the largest, clearest viewfinder I have
ever used.  (The Elan II and IIe have the same viewfinder.)  I went with the
Elan II because the Elan IIe allows you to decide which of the three areas
of the viewfinder to focus from by using your eye movement.  Well, with my
Nystagmus, THAT would be a disaster.

BUT, I have NOT been able to find a digital camera that I have been able to
use as well as my "old", "obsolete" SLR camera.  However, I was given a
professional grade flatbed scanner years ago that makes up for NOT having a
digital camera.  I simply scan my prints in and them put them in a physical
album.  I find, for my purposes, this works out MUCH better..
