Budget
less than $400
Size
does not matter
Features
How many megapixels will suffice for you? at least 5
* What optical zoom will you need? Ultrazoom = 10x-12x
* How important is “image quality” to you? 10 - this is the most important thing to me!
Do you care for manual controls? doesn't matter
General Usage
* What will you generally use the camera for? various shots (indoor, outdoor, close-ups, events - I am a scrapbooker and take photos of EVERYTHING!)
* Will you be making big prints of your photos or not? only up to 8x10
Will you be shooting a lot of indoor photos or low light photos? yes
Will you be shooting sports and/or action photos? some
Miscellaneous
Are there particular brands you like or hate? I have a Fuji that I've been happy with, but many times the pictures are not sharp in low light or with zooming
Are there particular models you already have in mind? I did some research on the Fuji S5200 and was wondering if I could get some opinions before I buy.
(If applicable) Do you need any of the following special features? (Wide Angle, Image Stabilization, Weatherproof, Hotshoe, Rotating LCD) - nothing special for me, thanks!
