Impressive snake shot, the night sky shots are real difficult to do justice to. Tried loads of time but never managed one that looked as good as the real thing. I am a huge fan of the atmospheric dusk shot but never seem to get them spot on. I usually cheat and Photoshop a day shot

I have a Fuji film S9600 and I'm after a good polarized lens. Any recommendations appreciated
Not bothered on the cost.
Thanks in advance.

well it depends
has she had a camera before? is she thinking of going further with it??
if she is keen i would plump for a prosumer slr to start with even second hand, one that has a auto setting but one that will allow manual or program over ride
stick with nikon or canon and she will be able to grow the system and move up to a better camera if she takes to it
a nikon d40x, d80 , d40, or newer with a medium compact zoom kit lens or a canon 350, 400 with again a kit lens
have a look at used specialists like ffordes photographic or mifsuds they have a good range of used or new
with a good reputation
thats my opinion, i had a slr from the age of 10 so i think with all the help and info on the web these days she will get more out of a good used dslr and will see better results with one imho
good luck

No worries Ken , thanks for the comments , d700 is a stunning camera if you don't need the crop factor full frame for me , looking at longer glass for my wildlife stuff v new crop body will wait till later half of he year see what nikon will lunch
Still not sure about the feel of the d7000 , not bad with the grip mind

Bit of a long shot here...
Ref the D7000 and D700...I use a Nikon-fit Sigma f2.8 105mm macro lens, but it seems that apparently the Sigma will not match up with either the D7000 or the D700...Anybody found this to be the case?

Giving the photo edge a soft look tends to focus the interest in the subject, nice one
