Newbie for camera

Nam

Hello all professional,

I'm trying to buy a better camera for my bf but I don't know which one is good.
He is not a professional photographer but I think he is pretty talented.

So I want to buy him a better camera, which one you guys would recommend?

The ones we have are the old, simple camera.
Mega pixel 3.0 and Mega Pixel 5.0.

Lots of time, we can't caputre the beautiful night scenes....

dont buy camera for boyfriends

if he is interested in photography , let him find a camera that suits him

the reason of not giving camera as gifts is
  mainly , the person who got the gift may feel pressure to produce

and maanmo's own experience is,, sometimes one stops producing
in fact ,  one often stops producing photos after buying a new camera

   generally speaking the production of photo drops  after upgrade to a more expensive cam

  and if  production still continues,   the photos may all the same,
in other words , the new camera has turned into a chicken
it may lay eggs.  good eggs.. but all eggs look alike

buying a new camera is very risky business,  getting one as a gift  more so.. be ware...

I did and it was ok. Because he had been wanting that specific camera for over 6 months.

Don't think I understand everything you said?!?!  But I would agree not to buy him a camera unless you know what he wants already!

let do some hypothetical cases

you give someone a DSLR
may  be he wants for a long long time
but then  the DSLR is kept in a closet, hardly ever used
( maanmo's law, the more expensive the camera gift, the less its used )
by the time  its taken out to get some fresh air, its already a year later
and there are better models
  so what's the use of an expired hot item...

好老實，
如果因為影唔到夜景而想換機，可以慳番。
最大原因唔係部機影唔到，係個人唔識影夜景。
