Recommend a good camera which can take great photos anytime of the day

[nabi]

Hi there, I'm looking for some personal recommendations on what camera I should buy if I'm looking for A+ quality photos anytime of the day, whether indoors or out, from sunset to sunrise, from dusk till dawn,...

I'm a newbie with digital cameras so please don't use too much technical camera language.

My current camera is a Fuji Finepix F410 a supposed 6 (3) megapixel camera, which shows a lot of blur in photos and cannot take low light photos which is extremely disappointing.

Budget: <$800

Size: N/A

Features: Some good megapixels, and preferably a good optical zoom

Image Quality Importance (1-10): 9 and above

Manual Controls: N/A

General Usage: Heavy useage after christmas, gap year travels, indoors/out + low light photos,

Used to be I would mostly recomend canon. Now fuji has a real winner out there, especially for low light shots. Check out the fuji f10 (http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/fuji/finepix_f10-review/).

Jeff finishes his review this way:

I really liked the F10 and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a point-and-shoot camera with great photo quality, low light shooting abilities, and a nice movie mode.

It looks like the new point and shoot, not ultra-zoom champ.
