so i don't know the fancy words for this stuff, but i want one that:
-i can choose how long the exposure is AND it will do it for me.
-to be small, to fit in my pocket.
-good battery life
-take videos with sound
-has a lot of zoom that will be clear and not blurry
-is "fast" in taking pictures AND in looking through them
-is around $200 or less.
thanks! I think you,re aiming for a subcompact. The only one I can think of under $200 is Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55. But for $200 I don't think you can find any with manual controls where you dictate how long the exposure is.
Somewhat more money would be a Fuji Finepix F30, which has manual controls and image stabilizer to boot. 3X optical zoom, 6 megapixels.
For a regular compact probably a bit bigger than subcompacts is the Canon PowerShot A630. Image quality is very good. 4X optical zoom, 8 megapixels. Beach Camera has it for $185- Take your time buying camera. Maybe read reviews at
dpreview.com
Maybe go to library and look at Consumer Reports July'07 issuue on digital cameras. Thank you. Report It
