I am looking to puchase a digital camera for my girlfriend's birthday. She has a lot of equipment but doesn't yet have a good digital slr. The 35mm camera she uses is a Leica brand. I first looked into trying to buy the same brand that she uses but they seem to be much more expensive than the cannon or nikkon ones I see everywhere. Also seems to be somewhat difficult to find a store which sells them.
Is there something significant which makes this particular camera so expensive? I talked with 3 different people at the bestbuy store and they led me to believe that cannon was one of the better brands to buy right now. They also said that her current lenses would fit the cannon body if I buy an adapter ring (which they don't sell).
I would like to surprise her with something nice and don't want to sound cheap but, well.... tuition bill coming very soon too.
Anyway, I'm truly ignorant when it comes to photography so I really do appreciate any advice.
If you're dating a girl shooting Leica cameras, don't even think of buying her anything associated with camera gear. If you don't know the significance of Leica, buy her flowers,candy, dinner, anything but camera gear. Unless, you enjoy the blank stare of someone receiving a gift that smells of limberger cheese to them.
