Ken Rockwell is probably one of the biggest, mysoginistic arseholes ever to walk this planet and call himself a photographer.

If you read his article, you'll know what I mean. His approach to women seems to be: They don't understand anything except how to clean the kitchen.

Or, try this article on for size:

At the end of the day, I think a compact would be great for your wife.
Nikon, Sony and Casio make great compact models. They're easy to slip into the purse or pocket, and contrary to what the URL above said - they actually will take *better* photos off the bat than a DSRL, simply because they automagically tweak colour, contrast, balance, etc, which a DSLR won't do automatically.
