I bought my wife a Sony HX400V for Christmas and she loves it. If you hunt a little, you can find a deal on it for $300. This camera has a Zeiss lens and is one of those "super zoom" cameras that goes from 24mm to 1200mm (50x optical). The Sony received better reviews than its Nikon or Canon equivalent and several Hoggers highly recommended it.


Thank you!

Most any P&S will do that if you just use Auto mode. Keep the zoom range short, 120 max would be fine. Be aware that the cheaper P&S's will have a bit of lag time to write to the SD card so steadiness before and after the shot is important. Otherwise the photos could end up blurry from camera movement.


Thanks for the tips!

great point. For most of us, photos are to record memories....few are in it as a business.
