I had a "camera-curious" friend who lost interest quickly when she realized that the path from click to Instagram was going to require more effort. If this isn't the case, then skip the compact and go directly to something with more creative potential... especially if you're planning to "throw a book at her", so to speak. ;) | |

On my Sonys all it takes is tapping the phone on the camera; yes, the phone must connect to the camera's access point, but it only does so for about a second, which makes it barely noticeable. | |
