Hi Im trying to decided between 3 camera's right now
Sony DSC-T5
Sony DSC-T9
Fujifilm Finepix Z1 (black)
I will be mainly using this as a point and shoot camera for both indoor/outdoor use and all around lighting. Shooting setting will 99.9% always on auto
Currently I am having trouble deciding which camera should I buy since I am a novice about cameras
Price does matter since I am not rich so I cant really go any higher than $250
At the moment if I were to get these camera's, this is the price I would be paying:
Sony DSC-T5 $160 (used with slight shallow scratches to the outer cover, lcd is perfect. Comes with non-oem 800 mAH battery & charger and 512mb Sony Memory Stick pro with a USB ms reader ) original accessories not included
Sony DSC-T9 $260 (used with all original accessories) (slightly past my price limit but within a permissible range.
Fujifilm Finepix Z1 $180 (black refurbished with original accessories and 512 mb SD card)
My main deciding factors for picking out cameras like these is because they have an internal vertical lens, short start up time, stylish, and being ultra compact since I intend to use these for outings with friends. (I dont like horizontal protruding lens because my last camera broke when my little brother forced it in and how it extends when you turn on the camera.)
The only reason the DSC-T9 is in the list is because it has the IS feature but I heard that it only helps slightly (Im not sure if the extra $100 is worth the IS feature)
To my knowledge the prices are somewhat a bit better than the current online prices for the cameras. If the prices are not worth it then feel free to tell me.
At the current moment I believe the T5 is my best option but if anyone would like to reaffirm/object to my decision please respond and provide reasoning.
If you happened to know of any other camera's also feel free to mention them.
Thank you
