Looking For A New Point-and-Shoot......

[Seafever]

I have a Nikon E5600 currently....bought it back in 2002 or something like that.......

Want to get a better one....

The E5600 is o.k.....but.....

(a) it eats batteries....came with re-chargeables but it eats those too....they don't last long at all....

(b) "boot-up" time is very slow

(c) Goes into sleep-mode too quick.....I could set it to go longer but that means it eats the batteries faster....

(d) outdoor pictures are pretty good........but low-light capability isn't all that good......


So I need one that :-

(a) takes good pictures without flash in lowlight

(b) has good battery reserve.........

(c) Boots up real quick

(d) has easy upload ability to internet

I don't care about movie capability.....


What would you suggest?

Have a look at the Nikon Coolpix S9100 if you get the chance.

I'm a total idiot with cameras yet manage some great pics with mine.

Take care.

Canon G11 or G12. This camera is what a lot of professional photographers use as their point and shoot camera. Check out review http://www.dpreview.com/products/canon/compacts/canon_g12
