I don't see how this question falls under the mentioned off-topic category (you are clearly looking for any utility, not for the "best shopping choice"), but I've noticed a raising amount of folks here on SE who tend to delete, erase and eliminate without much consideration.
In the linked article, there's a clear example where a person asks for a hint on a camera choice. So product recommendations are off-topic when they depend on unknown variable factors (price, location, etc) that might be important. Here the OP clearly asks for /any/ recommendation, so personally I don't see any evil in that.
