Use my birthday $$ for a new camera

by logz5500 Jun 4, 2008 12:59PM PDT

I am looking to buy a new camera as I have pretty much used up my current one (I think that that last beach trip did it in). My current camera is a Sony Cybershot DSC-W1. I need a camera that I can use to keep up with my kids (ie can take rapid fire pix ???) and one that takes decent shots in a poorly lit auditorium. All of my kids are a bunch of hams and are always performing on the school stage. I have yet to get a decent picture of any of them. I am hoping to get it together for the next school year! Something that is fairly durable is useful as well. Thanks for helping.

That would be everyones dream point and shoot, but unfortunately you would need an DSLR with some good lens.

If you want a point and shoot:
-Movement in low lighting will be blurry
-Rapid fire is accessible but to a certain amount

Now you could buy a point and shoot with a hot shoe on top that can take an external flash, which would help out a lot.
