I’m in need of a new point and shoot camera. Hubs broke mine last year when he was on tour. We bought a replacement camera while on vacation last summer but hubs has taken it with him on his current tour.<\/p>\n
While he did leave his fancy schmantzy DSLR camera behind, I don’t have the foggiest idea how to use it. More importantly, I don’t want to be dragging around a backpack filled with lenses, filters, and a bazillion other odds and ends that I don’t know the names of.<\/p>\n
What I want is a digital camera that will be smart enough to take a decent picture no matter how poor the photographer’s “eye”. I need a camera that can compensate for my wobbly hands, poor sight, and fits in my pocket or purse. <\/p>\n
I don’t want a large body camera with a fixed lense. If I’m going to get something that big then I might as well sign up for a photography course and lug around hubs giant bag o’ camera equipment.<\/p>\n
Preferably my new camera will have some sort of facial or smile recognition, a sports feature that would allow me to take pics at football games, a decent zoom (6-10x would be nice) and the ability to film short movies.<\/p>\n
So peanut gallery, time to chime in with recommendations (make & model please) so I can start comparing cameras and make a decision. What do you use? What are it’s good points? What’s it’s bad points? What are your favourite features & which features do you wish your camera had?<\/p>\n
Thanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
