A camera for my wife.
My wife wanted a new camera so we toured the camera stores looking for one that she would use. After trying many different camera she elected to have me buy her a Canon Rebel. Then she took a camera class to learn how to use it. During the course of the class she decided that canon cameras were not for her and that she wanted a Nikon instead. That was the best thing that ever happened to me. Aside from having to buy two DSLR cameras, I inherited her Canon. This has turned out to be the sweetest camera I have ever used.
