camera hunting
Dear Lazyweb,
I am looking for a new camera. My old one is a Fujifilm Finepix A101, it was given to me as a high school graduation gift 6 years ago, it's a 1.3 megapixel with only 2x digital zoom and no other real adjustment possibilities. I have realized that my camera phone has better capabilities than this. Ideally a new camera would have good optical zoom, higher megapixels, and some other things I can adjust for say taking good pictures in medium/low light without flashing the heck out of the scene, and be in the $250 or less range. Have not really seriously begun to research this but I figured I would start here. Anyone have recommendations good or bad? Things I should really be looking for as features that I haven't heard of yet?
