I currently have a Canon PowerShot A40 digital camera i have had for a few years. It is now time to get a new one and im having trouble figuring out what to get. I figured maybe i can tell you what i did not like about this camera and you could tell me either A. this is all digital cameras or B. give me advice on a camera that would solve those gripes. So here goes.
Gripes:
-takes AA batteries and it eats them really fast.
-a lot of the menus and settings rely on symbols and i still cant remember what any of them mean without getting the book out
-when i turn off the flash all my shots get motion blur.
-the time it takes to take pic from button push (shutterspeed?) which gets worse as the batteries wear down which as i mentioned is really fast
-no red eye reduction
-anything but auto settings seems to complicated. (but that could just be my photo inexperience)
I think that about sums it up any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. oh budget is $150 - $300 approx.
Thanks Jake
