I think I have my dad convinced about getting my mom (and family) a digital camera for her birthday! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/buttrock.gif
My dad could use a guiding hand with the whole thing, and so could I.
I think the camera for my family is the A75. My mom and sister need full-auto, while my dad and I might enjoy tinkering with the settings. My dad is convinced that megapixels don't really matter, and it's all about the lens. How is the lens on the A75?
Where is a good place to buy the A75, along with a 256 compact flash memory card? Is 256 a good amount of memory to get? I want to be able to take a good number of pics, but want something that is less expensive than the camera itself. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif I was looking around and Costco has the A75 & CF. I am thinking that maybe a brick and mortor store might be better. I can check out my local Costco, and also have a CompUSA, Staples, and Circuit City nearby. What are my best bets?
Lastly, what else should I have an eye out for? Photo editing software? Card reader?
I'm a digital camera noobie, so please fill me in. Thanks. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
