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:

That little Canon is such a great camera, and so convenient to carry,
that I'm using my Nikon DSLR less and less.

I sold my full frame Nikon DSLR for one reason: it was just too damned
heavy to carry on a neck strap all day long while on vacation. I got a
much lighter Canon DSLR and now actually take the camera with me.
Alternately, I use my wife's pocket sized Canon, which also takes nice
photos.

Why must you post endlessly about what you have and don't have? Do you
honestly think that after being caught in lie after lie that anybody but
Don believes a thing you say? And do you think anybody gives a ****
about your opinions?

Similar to the one I have, ditched my full 35mm SLR years ago. The
image stabilization on these is great. Good pics in crappy situations.
Not to be underestimated.

I like my Brownie Starflash, but it is hard to find film for it at the
local drug store.

Really Harry, it appears you have been having the same problem for about
9 years.

Dumb-ass.

Thanks, that kind of clinches it. What a lame assed putz with
nothing better to do than make up internet personas that agree with
him.

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....






Most of the "consumer" grade kit DSLRs have full auto modes that make
them only slightly more complicated to use than a point and shoot
camera. The Nikons do and so does my "consumer" grade Canon. The mode
works pretty well in decent lighting conditions.

The kits typically include "slow" zoom lenses, but with their built-in
vibration/image compensation and a little practice, you can handhold
at some surprisingly low shutter speeds.

Canon has a fairly inexpensive 55-250 mm f/4.0-5.6 lens with image
stabilization that gets terrific reviews despite its low price point.
That's the one I got with my camera. It does take nice photos and it is
relatively light and small. I got a fixed aperture f/2.8 17-50 zoom for
a walkaround lens. Nikon has similar offerings; the two brands are very
competitive.

I am looking for a good wide angle lens. The Tokina 11-16MM F/2.8 ATX is
very nice and will deliver a 17.6 mm - 25.6 mm eqivalent on my crop
camera. But I'm going to wait for the problems in Japan to settle down;
the mess there has caused a temporary price spike and some shortages in
optics coming in from that part of the world.
