Wes: She needs to decide what she wants to do (ie telephoto,macro,movies as well as stills), then go here http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/default.asp?view=alpha I studied this site VERY extensively before buying my Sony DSC-H2 back in February...This is the best site on the web IMHO for comparing etc..

Hello VFB! My niece asks the following question: I would like a digital camera that has good picture / video quality while not being too large (to make it easier to backpack with). Price range and warranty are also something I'm looking at, and right now I'd say it's in the $100-200 area (though I'd also have to buy a memory card). I really enjoy Canon as a brand and I *think* my friend's last digital camera was a Powershot S3 (which I really liked though it was a bit bulky). Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks so much for your help. :) Back live: Anyone have suggestions? I am not familiar with what is available in her needed price range. Getting a camera on eBay would also be a possibility, so feel free to suggest models you like above $200 street price. My niece graduated last May from the Univ. of Colorado with a B.A. in English. She is working until October as part of a trail and campsite maintenance crew based in Gardiner, Montana. She is borrowing cameras to photograph what she is seeing in the Montana high country. So typically, she's short of cash and long on wilderness. I will try to post a few of her photos over the weekend.
