Im not a huge digital camera guru, so hopefully someone can help me out here. Id like to purchase my sister a new digital camera and spend 400 to 600 dollars. (yes I did a search but most the topics here ask for cameras in the 200 to 300 dollar range)
Criteria is:
-400 to 600 dollars is the total price Id like spend(case, memory card, tripod, new lens, batteries, tripod? etc)
-camera is going to be used by an amateur (simplicity would be best, but the operator is not a dummy and learns quick)
-the smaller the camera the better (does not have to be ultra compact though)
-good battery life (or rechargeable battery Lit - ion battery if thats an option)
-reliable
-typical things youd look for in an all purpose camera
I hope this is enough information to help choose a quality camera. Any responses will be appreciated and suggestions on a reputable site to purchase camera and accessories from will be great too
Thanks!
