[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1229744, member: 45350"] We can recommend some cameras, but honestly it sounds like you would be better off finding out why your wife isn't getting the performance she wants. It could be: 1) the camera 2) bad technique 3) unreasonable expectations I would suspect a combination of 2&3 as most likely since you have used a number of Canon cameras with similar results. Regardless, I and I suspect others here will be glad to help in anyway we can with any of those potential issues. EDIT: I don't want to short change the problem, but essentially the main issues are light and shutter speed (overly simplifying here I know). But light is critical beyond the entire ISO, aperture and shutter speed triangle. Without adequate light you will find it extremely hard to get good focus. Also without adequate shutter speed (also driven by light) you get motion enduced blur. I mention all of this because almost any modern digital camera is capable of taking outstanding images if properly handled. EDIT2: having said all of the above you might look at Panasonic Lumix models. They have good glass and I think some models have f2 max aperture (haven't kept up with reviews) which should help.
