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: http://www.amazon.com/Canon-G12-Digi.../dp/B0041RSPRS 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. The D90 is a trick camera that adds the feature of video and doesn't do it well. It's an okay DSLR. Of couse, Herring hasn't even mentioned lenses which is the key to any SLR setup, digital or otherwise. No one should buy any camera body until they think about how the camera will be used and which lens is likely to be their most used based on their specific interests. It's like buying a boat without thinking about how it's going to be used. Hey, this one looks like a good deal. |

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... A lecture from Snotty Ingersoll, a little man of little consequence. |
