They are indeed, and the photographers even if they don't see themselves as being top of the pops.

God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Alf, get the one that feels comfortable to you, both in the hands, and also the logic of the menu system and button placement.
Don't worry about which make is "best", as that changes frequently.

Get the best that you can afford as what Dewi said is right, once you get into photography it won't be long before you want to upgrade!

Re: What gear do you have...
I can't take any pictures
The camera will be for SO and that's where the problems are.
Our camera is now 6 years old and the battery is giving problems, when we started finding out how much a new battery cost we were told that Panasonic were no longer making new cameras

Re: What gear do you have...
I think that is probably a good starting point.
If the bug bites hard, she will probably want to replace the lenses with something better before long, but untill she has some idea of what direction she wants to focus on, that can't happen.
