My daughter went to an online high school, because she absolutely hated conventional school. Anyhow, one of the electives they offered was digital photography. After about three weeks of the class, she discovered she loved it and wanted a career in photography. How did she know that; she was only sixteen! Anyhow, she told her father that she needed a digital camera in order to complete the course. They started checking out the product ratings and reviews, and they found a Canon that was just perfect for her. She used it through the remainder of the class and then decided she was going to go to school for sonography. Now she uses the camera on her cell phone!
