I realize a point and shoot camera doesn't take pictures like a DSLR. However I like the convenience of being able to slip a camera in a pocket. And I sometimes stretch it's limits. (Especially in low light conditions.)So I'm looking to replace my present point n shoot. (a Nikon Coolpix L18)
Any recommendations?
What I'm looking for. But it may be just a dream.
1) A camera with good low light handling, ASA without a lot of noise. (my most important consideration.)
2) We also carry a Sanyo HD Xacti video camera. And I tend to merge both photos and video into movies for our memories. So a camera that would allow me to alter the picture proportion to match the HD video would be nice.
3)The option of using RAW format for certain conditions would be nice.
4) Good white balance adjustment for different lighting situations.
5) Higher megapixel resolution for croping.
6) Takes AA or AAA batteries. So I can avoid having one more battery to recharge.
Is there a point and shoot that comes close to meeting this? Or am I asking too much?
Thanks
