i need a camera, not a slr but...
i need a camera that takes good pictures at night, mostly of friends and at nightclubs. and good Outside pictures with good color in the day... so i need something with a very strong flash and i guess fast shooter, something with sort of big lences but in a small digital camera. good resolution, good color in the day time. good sharpness incase i crop a picture. very Good color saturation and skin tones. good resolution & incandescent performance. good for prints of 4x6 5x7 and maybe 11x14. good detail (atleast almost) No noise, ive had alot of cameras that had this problem thats why im so picky with noise now.
i really-really loooved the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50 even though it sort of makes skin really shiny or too oily with the flash, and its a little too big for me to carry in a clutch purse. i like cameras that have nice good pop out color when on auto, but i use the white balance, on Fluorescent and Incandescent alot. i'd like it to have a good Shutter speed. and... i think its called motion stabilization, so pictures dont blur, we do alot of quick-shots. i really like the way pictures come out with the Slow-Sync flash mode but i dont like to use it. i dont need it to be top-noch, but those are the things i look for mainly in a camera, it doesnt have to be excellent at all these things, but fairly good. oh! and i need it to use a SD card.
i also liked the Canon PowerShot SD1000 Digital ELPH because it looked like it had a good flash. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W170 was okay too, i didnt get to check it out too well but the sample pictures were pretty good. the Canon PowerShot SD870 IS Digital ELPH, the pictures also were nice and the flash was very nice, but i didnt think the camera was too cute and the 880 had awful flash. the Fujifilm FinePix Z5fd takes really good pictures indoors but the flash was ehh-okay... not great, but it was super cute! i also really liked the flash on the Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital ELPH but it washed out some color, and i heard the flash takes 10 secounds to recharge, i didnt understand that too well but i dont think that was a good thing. i liked the flash on Nikon Coolpix P5100 alot!
i didnt get to check out the noise, or the picture quality and stuff too well, and i read a few reviews, not too many though. they all have good reviews and not so good, so im a little confused on wich one to pick...like i said i really liked the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50, i want something like it, but not too "slr type" and not too pricey...say around $150-$250. any suggestions?..please help, thnx much!
