if you like to shot natural light & low light photos, i highly recommend fuji F11. in fact i plan to buy one myself. if you read many forums you'll notice ppl praise it. it's a compact cam with very sensitive sensor which means the ISO can go as high as ISO1600. but if like to shoot mostly outdoor then you might wanna check out canon A610/620. consider this : most compact cams from reputable brands are capable of taking good outdoor, bright light but the real challenge is dark or low light photos (not still objects). that's why i'm getting the F11 . my 3 yr old sony PnS already start to fail to power on maybe she realise i'm getting new one
