Hi there all!
Like the title suggests, I'm looking for a camera in the $300 range. The size doesn't really matter, 6-8 mega pixels should suffice.
As for zoom, standard 3-4x will be fine for me, but more is OK! Image stabilization would be a plus.
Image quality is very important, I'll say 8 on a scale from 1-10. The most important thing for me is versatility. I'd like to be able to take good indoor/low light photos, as well as good outdoor photos. I suppose I'm asking for the impossible, but if it could take decent action photos that would be bonus (I have 2 active dogs :/).
I'm a camera n00b, so a point and shoot camera would be great, minimal fiddling about. I would probably use the automatic settings almost all the time. I hear that Fuji was the best for low lighting, so I was looking at the Fujifilm Finepix S8000fd, but I was reading reviews on it and it seems to be a mediocre camera. So I'm open to other ideas :).
