My wife is going back home to visit her family for a few weeks and needs a camera. As she's not willing to take my "handy and easy to use" D80, she wants me to get her a P&S. As I'm lost when it comes to P&S, please give me some recommendations.
Requirements:
Needs to be under $250, hopefully around $200
Needs to be as compact as possible. Not like an S3 (too bulky)
It doesn't have to have a viewfinder, she wouldn't use it anyway.
It has to have some sort of optical zoom, digital zooms are crap.
It can have a larger lens, I don't want one of those weenie 1cm in diameter lenses.
And most importantly, it has to have image stabilization, vibration reduction, anti shock, blurry gone, shaky free or whatever they wanna call it feature.
I dont' care too much about the megapixels since more than 6mp is overkill anyways so something between 4 and 6 is okay. I care mostly about the overall quality of picture and least amount of blurry pics. She will mostly be shooting indoors with artificial lighting.
