Looking for some advice from those who are camera/photography savvy.
My wife and I are looking to upgrade from our Sony DSC-W80.
I bought this as a "push present" for my wife shortly before our first child was born fall of 2008.
We have taken about 8,000 pictures with it and hundreds of videos and its just not cutting it anymore.
When we try to get a quick picture of our kids in action, its usually blurry indoors unless a flash is used.
Also video quality is pretty poor, I'd like to get HD video. (I have a cheap waterproof work camera that takes so-so 720p videos) (has a crappy lens)
I don't want to have to use a flash indoors every time.
I don't want an SLR or anything with an interchangeable lens, and I'm looking for something that is somewhat compact.
The 3 cameras that I am looking at are:
Fujifilm F600EXR (costs the cheapest, but is the most compact, but manual controls are in system menu rather than manual dials)
Nikon P7100
Canon G12 (or Canon G13 if it comes out shortly here in November)
The Nikon P7100 seems to come out ahead slightly over the G12, but I'm thinking if they come out with a G13, that would likely be a better
camera than the P7100.
Any thoughts, advice or opinions?
