[Leica] OT - camera recommendations for non-camera folks

[frankandaubrey at mindspring.com (Frank Farmer)]

Gene,

Thanks for the comment.  That is a good point and it is already in the 
e-mail draft I've prepared
in response to their question.  That is also one of the several reasons for 
the slr recommendation - 
a hot shoe for a "real" flash.

One Point, If they use flash on either of these low end SLRs, they should 
not use the RED EYE reduction feature, as it adds a tremendous lag between 
pressing the shutter button and when the flash and photo are taken.  They 
should use the optional flash units that stand off the camera and do not 
need the RED EYE feature.

[Leica] OT - camera recommendations for non-camera folks






Lug,

It was requested of me that I recommend a film camera that has less 
shutter lag and
faster autofocus than the point and shoot that this couple is currently 
using.  My first thought
was one of the Nikon N camera kits or the Canon Rebel kits.  These folks 
are tired of
missing the expression on their one-year-old's face due to shutter lag. 
Anyway, I thought
that the N75 kit or the Rebel T2 kit might be good choices for them with 
enough features
that they could expand if they wanted but enough automation that they 
could pretty much
use it for a point and shoot.  Anyone have any ideas or suggestions in 
this regard?

Thanks in advance.

Frank
