Re: P&S Suggestions

    I looked at the reviews and such for the A1300IS and
      it looks good.

      
      My main concern is there a long shutter lag

      and how do the batteries hold up?

      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.......
