I'm looking for a good point and shoot digital camera, but I'm having trouble finding one that meets all or almost all of my criteria.
Fast lens speed
8-10 mega-pixels
Face detection
low F number
small size
clear images with good color reproduction
movie mode
Image stabilization (preferably optical)
$150-$300 Price range
I really want fast lens speed, because i currently have one of those really slim point and shoot sony cameras but its lens speed is so slow that everything blurs in the darker settings.
I'm looking at cameras more with the lens that pops out of the camera like the sony dsc-w150 or the nikon s550.
Right now i have a sony dsc-t33, one of the earlier "ultra-thin cameras" its lens has an f number of 3.5-4.6 and I'm looking for a larger range with the lower end being around high 2's maybe low 3's. Right now the sony doesn't take very good lower light photos without the flash, they blur, so even when a flash isn't really necessary it still needs one, which causes for washed out pictures with dark backgrounds. If i take the camera to a party i want it to be able to take pictures in lower light situations. The way a camera looks is important and it would be nice for the camera to fit well into a pocket.
Thanks in advance
