I am looking to replace my ’07-era Sony CyberShot DSC-W80 with something newer; back then I paid a nice $250 for this camera. It has served me well and taken many great pictures, but the age is starting show.
I do know that a compact/pocket camera does have limitations when compared to a DSLR, but I don’t have a need for something like that. I want it to fit in my pocket and be able to pull it out and Point, Adjust with the help of Autofocus, & Shoot.
For my pictures that I take:
- My shows (I do have a Hazer running); so excellent low light photos are often taken.
- My dog playing; so a quick capture is needed so it doesn’t blur
- And general photography of nature and vacations; a “Stabilization assistance” is helpful. I do want to take some Panoramic shots and the HDR photos look neat.
I was using trying to use a Nikon Coolpix L120, this past weekend and it is a terrible camera. I was trying to capture some entire room pics; the room looks fine, but all the subjects are blurry.
Budget: $200-250.
