Re: P&S Suggestions

    I bought my wife a Canon Powershot
      A1300 because it has an optical viewfinder in a very small
      package.  It does everything every other P&S does and provides
      very good jpegs.  We both find that too often an LCD is unusable
      for critical framing and focus in bright light and want the
      viewfinder.  We are both pleased with it as a travel camera or a
      carry around camera.

        I have a Fuji AX 500 that set me back $100. It is very good and
        point and shoot with zoom... and automatic scene recognition,
        autofocus and face detection. It takes SD cards and also has
        cine capability. Remember, your sweetie is clever and will soon
        master the menu..

            I am not looking for a "Brand" recommendation

            but a suggestion for an actual model that someone

            has experience with........

                    I'm looking to get my Sweetie a Point & Shoot
                    for Xmas.

                    I have never spent much time looking at them.

                    
                    A few years ago I got her a Samsung of some sort

                    and she likes it except for the incredible lag from
                    

                    when you press the shutter release and when it
                    actually fires

                    and it eats batteries!

                    
                    I am looking at spending around $300 (street not
                    MSRP)

                    
                    Any suggestions?

                    
                    Compact and easy is the key word here.......
