Suggestions for Camera in Range of 300 USD from USA
I will be buying a new camera by this year end. I am no camera pro and have little to no details about how to choose a camera. I do not want a DSLR since my camera skills are not really good.
My main requirements (from little details i know) are...
1. Decent Mpx (i know high Mpx does not mean good camera). Current cam has max 8 Mpx but i use 5 Mpx. So this can be ignored
2. Better zoom (current camera has 5X optical zoom), new one has to have far more. This is important
3. Good pics in low light / night conditions. Like illuminated buildings, streets, have a vegas trip coming up
4. Image stabilization will be good (for shaky hands).
5. Good pics with the auto settings of the camera
6. Settings which i can understand to take better pics (rather than using the standard Intelligent auto which i always use)
7. Full HD Video is NOT NECESSARY, i am ok with 720p too.
8. Fancy features are not really needed but if they are part and parcel of the package, i am ok with it.
Any other features that you may suggest i should consider which i dont know.
My current camera is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ8.
I am in USA and will be buying from here so suggest accordingly. Also direct some good places to buy. Gathering info now so i don't get confused when a deal comes.
I am with a compact camera and also a bridge camera. Anything will do.
Budget as of now is 300 USD but can be stretched by 100 USD if the camera is worth it. I won't be changing the camera for few more years so need suggestions accordingly.
