OK, so I feel dumb asking this, but having bought a number of digital cameras that haven't lived up to my relatively light expectations, I was really hoping to get the opinion of some of the photo savvy members here....
My wife has been dissatisfied with the last 3 Canon cameras we've owned and the Kodak before it. Her primary complaints are the time it takes to auto focus, as well as blurry images when using *optical* zoom (I'm aware that digital zoom is next to useless and always disable it).
We're not looking for a bulky SLR-style camera. It has to be relatively pocketable, and it has to be reliable. We're satisfied with 4x6 and 5x7 sizes, no need for 8x10 (or larger) capability. I have no brand loyalty at this point, so I'm completely open. Also, bundled software is a non-issue as we'll use iPhoto on the Mac and PSE on the Windows machines.
Budget would be up to $300, although I'd prefer to be in the $150-200 range.
Any ideas? I'm reading reviews at the moment, but would really appreciate some personal experience with more recent cameras (particularly those that are still in production).
Thanks a lot.
