I’m digital camera shopping. It has only been 14 months since I bought the Kodak V570 and I still really like it, but there are a couple of features that it doesn’t have that I want. 1) Image Stabilization. Have you ever tried to take a blur free photo while standing on the vibrating deck of a ferry? 2) I really miss some sort of manual exposure control. Ever try and get a crisp image of something close and something far at the same time without aperture priority or a manual mode?
Any of my needs taken alone are not too difficult fulfill;
- Less than $350
- Image Stabilization
- Manual Mode or Aperture Priority min.
- 7 Megapixels min.
- 23mm Wide Angle Lens
- Fits in Shirt Pocket
- 6x Optical Zoom min.
- SD Storage
- Optical Viewfinder
(the last two are not deal breakers, but nice to have) all together they add up to something nearly impossible to find so far. Right now real close to and leaning towards: Panasonic DMC-TZ3
