So we went to Costco and I walked up to a rack of cameras and just looked around like I was just browsing the syles curiously and managed to uncover that she wants. Using some of the vocabulary found here (Dpreview): an SLR with a fast shutter speed (with a good burst, or continuous picture taking capability), manual aperture and shutter settings with aperture and shutter priority, a decent zoom, and the ability to manually focus; Lens threading (changeable lenses) would be ideal as well (or at least a good zoom).
She even spoke of our old film camera, so I guess she wants - more or less- the same things I do. We currently own a Cannon Powershot S50, and it's killing us both.
I put these into Dpreview.com and came up with the Cannon Rebel XT, which she spotted at Costco locked in a case and said this is like what she wanted, so I know I am on the right track.
I suppose the new Nikon D40 would fit into this category for the Nikon D50 does.
Now that the search has narrowed, can you folks give me a best bang for my buck in this type of field? (trying to keep the price friendly for our somewhat limited use of said camera)
