Budget: Probably about $350 or less
Size: As small as possible without sacrificing what I want :)
Megapixels: Probably at least 4
Optical Zoom: Standard
Image Quality Importance (1-10 scale): 7
Manual Controls: As long as the basic stuff (ISO, white balance, etc.) is there, I'm fine, I like to mess around with that stuff occasionally
What will you generally use the camera for? Amateur photography, point-and-shoot
Will you be making big prints of your photos or not? No
Will you be shooting a lot of indoor photos or low light photos? YES. This is a BIG deal for me... my current Canon S400 takes horribly blurry pictures indoors with no flash, and when I try to up the ISO it just... is unsuccessful. I'd like a camera that could take good quality pictures without a flash indoors, and retain sharpness. The Fuji F10 review sounds really great for this, but if there is something smaller that can perform similarly, that would be even better.
Will you be shooting sports and/or action photos? Sometimes
Are there particular brands you like or hate? Nope
Are there particular models you already have in mind? Fuji F10
(If applicable) Do you need any of the following special features? (Wide Angle, Image Stabilization, Weatherproof, Hotshoe, Rotating LCD): None of those are necessary
