[net.rec.photo] Recommendations for a camera?

dhk@hp-pcd.UUCP (dhk) (06/18/85)

I have a request for some advice and information.  My sister called me last 
night and asked for some recommendations for a 35mm SLR camera and, since I 
have not been keeping up with the latest and greatest in cameras, I thought 
that I would see what the net had to say.  Neither my sister nor her husband
are heavily into photography but they would like a camera that takes good 
pictures with little hassle and will permit them to expand into photography
if they want.  The price range they are shooting for is in the $250-300 range.
Currently they have their eye on the Konica FT-1.  If anybody has anything 
good or bad to say about the FT-1 or can make another suggestion/recommenda-
tion I would appreciate hearing from them.  I am also interested in what 
features are worth having in this price range.  If you can mail to me I will
summarize the replies later on.  Thanks in advance.
