Does she want to mess around with a DSLR? That Nikon is a great outfit
and the price seems pretty good, but perhaps she'd want a simpler way to
take great photos, like the Canon Powershot g12:

I think I'd go the same way.... I'd prefer the Nikon's (still lugging
around my 42 year old Nikon FTNs around, on occasion)....

but if she doesn't want a bunch of levers, dials, and buttons getting
in the way of her memories... the Canon might be a better fit....
I looked at the G12 site above, and read a lot of the reviews. For a point and
shoot it's probably a great camera. But, it's not a 'grown up's' camera, which
is undoubtedly part of my daughter's desires.

She enjoys photography and wants the capabilities of a DSLR. I think the Nikon
D90 will work for her.

What the hell, it's only money.
Well, by golly.... more power to the young lady. Photography has been
one of my inspirations since I was a young teenager.

Money well spent on an inspired progeny...!

Somebody doesn't know how to read. The G12 is at the top of the heap
in the P&S market and likely has more features than any progeny of a
Herring is likely to understand.


You know, when you act like such an ass, nobody but Harry and the pussy
Don White read anything you are making up as you go along... What a
****ing pussy asshole you are...
