I would love to upgrade my wife's camera this Christmas. Back in 2011 I purchased my wife the Nikon 1 and she has taken thousands of pictures but I think she is out growing her camera. I know very little about photography so I will tell you how she will use the camera and what she likes or dislikes about her current camera.
95% of her pictures are of the outdoors. Flowers, hummingbirds, butterfly's, bugs, fish, animals, basically anything relating to nature. This includes still and moving. Auto focus on the Nikon is good but she says it blurs when using continuous frame.
She would like more options of lens for her camera. One day she is zooming in on a very small flower. The next day she is in trying to take pictures of an animal 25 meters away. The Nikon has a 10-30mm and 30-110mm lens.
Easy to use, learn how to use, and light weight. Weight and size are very important. We love camping and fishing so most of our spare time is on a lake in kayaks or fly fishing on a river. She will have the camera with her all day long. The Nikon is very small and she says easy to use.
Must be easy to upload pictures to computer. She also likes being able to modify the picture with the Nikon 1 before she uploads to a computer.
Thanks,
OkieBrad
