Endless hours of advice? Nowadays I would probably at least start by pointing my friends towards the buying guide at dpreview, which I think is at http://dpreview.com/reviews/compare.asp -- why should I have to ask them what kind of camera they want, when I can have a form do it for me? Dpreview even has a glossary link, so if they don't know what the question is asking, they can look it up (does this count as basic concepts?). It usually has reviews to each camera, at least by users if not by the dpreview guy. The forums usually have photos shot by each camera (and if not, then there's a warning sign for sure). If my friends wanted to at least narrow it down to two or three cameras, I'd be willing to help them pick the final one. However, I think the pricing guide will usually do that for me.
