The pictures declare themself as long as your name isn't Forrest Gump.
A true point is SLR's are heavy and a pain to carry around for a longer time. I have a small backpack and carry both lenses along with me. The result is worth the extra weight and the ability to change lenses.
Actually, I believe his middle name is Forrest...
You make another good point, SLR's are heavy and clunky to lug around. If youre on a trip or vacation they can be a pain.
Dont get me wrong - if you want the best of the best - a Nikon or Cannon SLR or even a Sony SLR is the route you want to go. And yes, anyone can pick one up, turn it to auto and press the shutter but its a little trickier than that to take great pics. Big learning curve here. If he was closer, I would lend him mine to see if a SLR is what he wants.

sometimes I wish I had a good small pocket digital camera.
There were so many times I left the SLR at home because I was not willing to carry the x-tra weight along with me and lost a good picture.
but there are also advantages of a good SLR: I was tailgated and the driver showed me his middlefinger. I did nothing.
Camera has taken all of it. I went to the police station showed the pics and the officers were happy to get the pics together with the license plate.

I got a Cannon Powershot SD780 IS for Fathers Day this year and I think its great. Fits in a pocket which is good for snowmobiling or 4 wheeler trips. It has up to 12x zoom. Only thing that sucks is the battery is 60 bucks if you need another.
Just my $.02.
