Newbie here. The wife and I are going on a trip soon and I'd like to buy a digital camera that takes better pics than my S23 Ultra smartphone. Specifically, I'm hoping to buy something used that can take great high-quality pictures in 'auto-mode', but would be cheap to buy due to its age - the kind of camera an experienced "in the know" photographer would know about but the average ignorant Joe Q. Public (like me) would overlook. My only requirements:
1. It's got in-body image stabilization.
2. It's relatively compact. So, no SLR.
3. It's got a 3x optical zoom (the more the merrier).
4. It takes better pics than my S23 Ultra.
Video isn't a priority for me. Just want to take nice high quality colourful snaps using a camera that takes great pics on auto mode. Thanks in advance for your advice!
