Ultimately, I want to get a DSLR, but they're so dang expensive when you include the lenses... Meanwhile, I'm looking for a good (prosumer range) digital "point-and-shoot" camera until I can better afford something from the SLR world. Basically, my budget is under $500.
There are a few creative controls which I need to have a wide range of (manual) control over as well as automatic settings. In order of importance these controls are: aperture, focus, shutter speed, exposure, and manual zoom. More than anything, I really want the best possible macro capabilities available. And minimal shutter lag. It's kind of a pet peeve of mine. ;)
Could you please point me in the right direction? I'm kind of leaning toward the Nikon Coolpix S10 or something like the Canon PowerShot S2 IS (I really like the swivel screens). Compact is awesome, but full body is okay too.
Thanks for your help. :D
