My friend has just approached me. Its his girlfriends 30th birthday tomorrow.

He wants to by her a camera. shes creative and bright but shes no intention of taking photography as seriously as many here.

Shes elegant so I figure an elegant user friendly camera is what the dr. ordered.

We have $350 MAX, so figure in any accessories.

Can you get a leica for that?

also to bare in mind is that we live in Beijing which has us a lil' limited in choice. If you can respond there will be one beautiful and happy young woman sending her thanks.

Yeah i think you can get a panasonic for that. They use Leica glass. Nice cameras to.

The Canon "A" series Powershot cameras are excllent. Dunno if the style factor is what you're looking for.

I went to Steve's Digicams, and it looks like you could get a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX9, with 6-megapixel resolution and a Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens.

I agree with Shay that a very respectable camera, at this price, is the Fuji F30, with 6-megapixel resolution and really good low-light performance.

I would also consider the Olympus Stylus 710. It is a awfully nice camera with weather-resistant seals, so it can be used in wet conditions or even snow without too many concerns.

P.S. Tell your friend a diamond speaks volumes more than any camera could.

Ooops, it's more than 12 hours. I guess he dodged the bullet this time.
