Best solution for really shaky hands

[Kcray85]

My wife has very shaky hands in all the time and she has a tough time getting good pictures on a P&S.  She needs a new camera, and likes it to be small enough and light enough to fit in her purse.  I am thinking that it would be wise to get something with a f/2 lens to get faster shutter speeds to eliminate blur.  Anyone have any suggestions, Canon or not?  Looking to keep it under $400

One of the reasons that DSLR's are shaped the way they are is to fit into your hand. Most p/s cameras (with the exception of a few that look like mini dslr's) are boxes that are hard to hold steady and are hard to press the shutter without shaking the camera.

I know they are not the most compact, but that mini-dslr look form factor might be the way to go. IS can only accomplish so much, an easier to hold camera may be a better idea in this case.

Thanks for the suggestion.

My g15 has been fantastic lately. Been using the H-IS system and Fast glass to get good shots.
