We are looking for a new digital camera that is compact, but also delivers very clear images. Suggestions?

My husband and I are new parents and the camera we have now (sony) doesn't have a very clear picture, it is quite grainy. We want a camera that will take pictures with the clearest image, but not too expensive. We also like the camera to be a compact digital camera. We need suggesstions, and the #1 things we are looking for is CLEAR IMAGERY!We are looking for a new digital camera that is compact, but also delivers very clear images. Suggestions?
Details of the camera I use:





Make: FUJIFILM


Model: FinePix S1000fd


Shutter Speed: 1/40 second


F Number: F/2.8


Focal Length: 6 mm


ISO Speed: 400





Described as ';the world's smallest 12x optical zoom';.


It's not AS small as the average compact camera, but the results are amazing. To see some: http://greenhoney92.deviantart.com/


(All those photos were taken with that model).





Cost: AU$289.00





It's so clear, right now I'm trying to prove to a professional that I really did use that to take my photos! Here: http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/ind鈥?/a>

All of the major brands are good. Choose a brand that appeals to you. Then you have to think about getting a spare battery, what size memory card, if you want an extended warranty, how much you can afford, what size zoom, if you want manual controls, the size of the camera, finding a reliable place to purchase it, and the list goes on and on and on.......





The first thing to realize is that almost any digital camera will take good pictures. If more people would read the manual more than once, they would be able to take better pictures. Usually, the person assumes it is the camera when it could be them not knowing exactly what to do. Just give yourself more photographic knowledge by doing more reading on the internet.





I really believe buying a camera is an individual choice.


The person needs to read alot of reviews on cameras so they can decide on the features that they really want and need.


Go to the store and hold them so you can see if they feel comfortable in your hands. If possible, take some pictures in the store to check the quality of the pictures.


I can only give a suggestion of what to look for in a new digital camera.


Good Luck

ANY Polaroid. average $89.99-$109.99 or a Fujifilm S1000 @ Walmart, $189.99. remember, a higher resolution doesn't mean much other than the pix take up more room on your computer. my Polaroid i737 is 7mp and can be reduced to 3 and takes incredible pix.
We have a Sony 10 meg camera and it takes GREAT shots. Before that we had a Canon Powershot and it was also great.
