<p>Try the 18-55 vr, mostly at low light. Lower the megapixel size, image size, and crank that ISO and take advantage of the VR technology.</p>

<p>That little 18-55 plastic Nikon lens is gold, worth every penny.</p>

<p>The new Nikon L105, not small nor big camera. Buttons are easily accessible, uses 4 AA batteries.<br>

Going from point and shoot to video is a matter of pressing the record button, no need of extra steps. Same way going back to taking pics, just press the actuation button and back to P&S.<br>

Camera is not that heavy, takes great pictures, strong flash, large LCD screen.<br>

Although I highly recommend to take her to different department stores and let her try herself the ergonomics as that is a key factor.</p>

<p>I highly suggest software, will help a lot with correction.<br>

Photoshop Elements 7.0 has a good tool for horizontal / vertical lines correction. Will not hurt hurt to become a member of photoshopelementsuser.com. They have awesome video tutorials, great forum for any questions, ideas you have for future projects.</p>

<p>I have the same problem with two Nikon cameras in the last 4 months.</p>

<p>My Nikon D1H just started err with the shutter, it will actuate but not take any pictures. Have tried different lenses, batteries, memory cards, and problem persists. Place the camera aside and took out the Nikon D70 to go take pictures this past weekend. I could not believe it, the same deal again, the shutter acting funny clicking consectuvite times but no pictures in display/ memory.<br>

Usually the problem arise when taking pictures very fast or continous mode. Both cameras have less than 20,000 actuations, and have been babied properly. Always in camera bag, stored in dry cold environment, never exposed to heat, direct sunlight, dropped, or dirt. My cameras look as new. Luckily I got a D60 and it is still working, but lets see what happens in the next year or so. Nikon has me dissapointed, and noticing other people have the same problem seems a marketing strategy to shell out money. I am starting to wonder if it has some kind of programming that after a while most shutters die prematurely.<br>

I am seriously thinking jumping to Canon, and will for sure miss the AIS lenses if I do that. Both my cameras are out of warranty so repairs run for each around 400 dollars which is not worth it.</p>
