Yeah I am in this crowd. The problem with any P&S camera will be lag time. This has, and most likely will always be the case in the foreseeable future. Also unless she wants to learn how to use any of the cameras effectively, the results will always be the same, and that is her resorting to using the phone. Which I am willing to be she will use more than the camera, no matter what you get her. The phones anymore are the new Kodak Instatragics in that they are what the majority of people will use. And your wife, with no offense intended, sounds like your everyday pedestrian camera user.

You are correct, she is a pedestrian camera user, no offense taken. She'd like to learn more, but it's a matter of finding time to sit and learn.....
My SIL has the Nikon P510 and it takes great pictures.
On the P&S cameras, can the shutter speed be adjusted?
Thanks everyone for their input. I do appreciate it
