“My wife is 20 to 50 years old. She loves photographs, but photography is not her hobby. I should appreciate it if you will write me what camera I should buy as a gift. And why?”
Manager of Gibbs Camera House recommends: “The Canon Powershot S90 would be an excellent choice because of its compact size and functionality. Being a compact camera it’s small enough to take everywhere and record the days events, and when the fancy takes you it also gives the control required to get creative and make that masterpiece for the living room wall!”
