P&S for the wife

[mikenike]

Good morning. I am looking for a P&S camera for the wife. Would like your help. She does not need video. She does not need a long telephoto lens. She does not post process. She will shoot in auto mode only. Her only requirements are a good IS system and a three inch LCD. Largest she will print is 4X6. What do you suggest? Thank you

May I congratulate you on having an undemanding wife!

Seriously though, I would expect any modern compact to meet your/her needs and therefore I wouid recommend the cheapest you can get with a 3" LCD and Image Stab. Try this web page, which classifies by LCD size. There is afurther option to include those with stabilisation.

Once she has been able to use the camera for a few weeks, she may well extend her requirements and you will be able to pick one more suitable, while still retaining some resale value in the first one.

Please let us know which you decide upon.

hello my friend...for myself i would highly recommend the f 80 exr. its a brilliant camera with lots of diferent modes and if the wife consideres going further in photography she can expand with this camera...i hope this advice would be useful sir.

In my opinion the very best camera for the wife is SONY TX5
