I guess it might depend on what she's looking to do with it. My daughter has this camera, and it works perfectly well, and is capable of taking very good pictures. If all you want is something that will fit in your pocket at take quick snapshots, this will fit the bill.

yeah she isnt into nothing great.. she wants to turn, shoot.. not make one setting... and for them to come out ok...
now she has an iphone so not sure how much more she will use a camera.. but still iphone doesnt last long on battery...

I just picked up a Nikon s6300 for my wife and other family to use, etc. Easy and the color and detail are really nice for a p&s. The 6200 is still available and less $ as it doesn't have 3D. Have used many Sony ones over the years as well, but really happy with this one as is my wife lol.

We also have iPhones, but she likes having a p&s as well.

My better half very much likes her Sony Cyber-Shot. She has the WX-50 in black. Shoots pretty well in low light for a P&S

******edited

snowboarding and a camera doesnt do justice. now i wasnt doing anything grand.. just going.. to add to FB..
here it is...


Wipe Out

I wouldn't get the A2200 as it lacks image stabilization. THe A3300 is the next model up, which does have IS, but right now the ELPH 100HS is on sale for the same price. That's the one to get as it has 1080P video and the Backlit CMOS for good low light performance.

Apple has it for $99 right now as a clearance item: http://store.apple.com …27502&cid=AOS-US-AFF-FEED

Best buy has them for $110 if you prefer.

i second the 100hs. I saw it recently for about $110 at costco with carrying case and 4gb sd card. at $110, I wouldnt bother with similarly priced A series as the CMOS sensor on the 100hs is significantly better. Plus you get IS, and a more pocketable size.

thanks guys ended up with a 300 h s... 100 was not on sale and cost more... 30 days to see if we like it or will exchange it

300hs is slimmer and has a wider lens. Pretty much same camera otherwise.
