Topic: Advice sought for mother's day camera

[KLowe]

Hey yall,
I need the TSKB advice on a 300-400 dollarish digital camera for a mother's day present.  Something with a large LCD view screen, good quality pics in normal and low light, decent features, EASY to USE!!

It is for my wife as a "purse camera" so she can capture the cute things our son does without having to go find the big camera.

I'd also like to use it for concert pics 

any advice?

Thanks in advance.

I'd suggest the Fuji F30.  Its got a nice lcd on the back and does great in lowlight.  I haven't looked at the market to see whats out there, but a few months ago when I got mine, it was one of the top rated cameras out there.  And it should be within your budget.

here's some samples - I took these at the Placebo concert I went to a few weeks back.  I was very very drunk, and I still managed to get a couple of decent shots.
