A friend recently asked me for a recommendation for a camera for his daughter. She is in her late 20's, married, kids, etc. She said she wanted something beyond a point n shoot. I made several recommendations and even suggested going to Amazon.com. He was in a new appliance/electronics chain that just opened in this area and called me irt a Sony 300 kit with two lenses. The price was good but I told him it was probably too much camera for his daughter. He bought it anyway. Last weekend I was at his daughters house for his surprise birthday party. She was running around shooting like crazy. The camera was in liveview mode and she was doing all her composing by looking at the lcd screen. I tried to show her how to use the viewfinder, even explained and showed her how it would focus faster via the viewfinder. She would have none of it and kept shooting. Later I heard her talking to someone saying that only about half of her pics were coming out ok and she was happier with her old point and shoot in some ways. Go figure!
