I am really interested in photography and I am thinking about giving it a shot, but at this point I know nothing about digital cameras.

Question by jason c: What digital camera is the easiest to use and understand for a beginner?
I want to get my wife a digital camera but she and I neither know nothing about them or how to use them. Does anyone recommend which model or specific camera is the absolute easiest to operate and is user friendly. I'd like to spend less than $ 100 since we really will not use it too much. Thanks for your help!!!

As you run through the checklist of attributes you've heard are important in a good beginner's telescope, you realize that the Orion SkyQuest XT6 Classic Dobsonian Telescope meets all the criteria - in spades. Astronomy magazine called it "an excellent entry-level Dobsonian telescope for an adult." It's a telescope that opens up limitless observing possibilities. With its big 150mm diameter parabolic primary mirror the SkyQuest XT6 Classic Dobsonian Telescope collects nearly 80% more light than a 4.5-inch reflector, rendering brighter images and greater detail in deep-sky nebulas and star clusters. And the 1200mm focal length gives the telescope ample power to zoom in on subtle planetary and lunar features. The 45-inch-long enameled-steel optical tube glides with silky smoothness on the cabinet-quality Dobsonian wood base. You just point the telescope and view! Orion-engineered CorrecTension springs keep the tube balanced to perfection and allow the whole unit to be carried together by the handle on the base.
