A friend has asked for advice in purchasing a new camera.
She used a Canon FTb for years. More recently, she has been using a
digital . Yes, I know it's a Canon PowerShot 880. She finds it
convenient but limited, and it was recently damaged and needs to be
replaced with something a bit better but no too expensive. She would
like a comera with interchangeable lenses. She has 2 decent lenses
from her FTb, but I don't think they would work on newer digital
Canons. Rechargeable batteries are preferable to the ones that use
and eat up AAs or similar batteries.
Any suggestions I can pass on?

If she wants to use her FD lenses with the field of view she is used to,
the Sony full frame mirrorless are nice. If she want;s to use her FD
lenses, doesn't mind a little extra reach and wants a shooting
experience similar to her old FTb, the Fuji X-T1 is nice, the recently
announced X-T10 looks nice, though it is definitely a feature downgrade
to the X-T1.
Those are about her best options for using her old lenses. If she isn't
actually that big on using them, then any DSLR system is good these
days, obviously I have a Pentax bias.
