Yep, my thoughts were that if he was looking for a P&S and didn't care if it was 2 MP that he wasn't going to want to spend 800-1000 on a camera and then another several hundred on one of the ultra wide angle lenses, especially since he can probably get a 20-25 angle lens on a much cheaper easier to use camera.

If it was for his own hobby/pleasure then I'd be all over convincing him to get a Rebel XT or D70.
