Need Help for Point and Shoot

by daddyfrye Jan 16, 2011 11:53AM PST

Looking for an easy to use point and shoot camera for my mom. She mainly wants to take pics of her grandkids at home, on the go, dance recitals, etc. The main features she is looking for are good quality pics in low light, low time between pics, and a large screen. She doesn't really need video or advanced features. She also likes the touch screen, but that is not as important as the other features. I have been looking for a while, but there are so many cameras out there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Low Light

by snapshot2 Forum moderator Jan 17, 2011 7:02AM PST

There are very few small cameras that do well in low light.
And they all tend to be $350 and up.
Most are loaded with features.

The four popular low light cameras are:

Canon G12 and S95
Panasonic LX5
Sony HX5
