The dreaded "can you recommend me a good camera"?

Re: The dreaded "can you recommend me a good camera"?

I told the friend that he's asking an unanswerable question.  I have to assume a lot of things because he doesn't have the vocabulary to articulate exactly what he's looking for.  I'm guessing that post processing isn't even something he can envision, he just wants "better pictures", whatever the heck that is.

And my local Craigslist is dead, there's nothing for him to check out.  I think I might just lend him my spare 330 to shoot with for awhile just to get the hang of having something other than his phone to take pics...something he's never done.

And I think of how much I have real cameras in my hand, and how I've never taken a pic with my phone.  I'm probably in a very very minor percentage of those who "take pictures".

Speaking of the 330, here's a few comparison pics of SOOC jpegs shot with my D600, both sets un-processed.
