Hi All,
I'm looking to retire my old 35mm Olympus Stylus and was looking for a new camera, probably another 35mm as I don't want to spring for a good SLR. I toyed with an APS but I think the small film = extra grainy pics (I like to get 5x7s and sometimes larger sizes where it would show up) has steered me from it.
Can anyone recommend a good 35mm auto that's less than $200 - preferably around $150? Please recommend one that's currently available, not a model that's 2+ years old that I would have to hunt around.
My main qualities I look, in order of importance:
1. Picture quality - first and foremost, above all others
2. Good red-eye reduction
3. Non-poking-out flashes (i.e. could break off)
4. Nice zoom (to 110mm or more)
5. Build quality
6. Auto loading (but I think most all of them are nowadays)
It's been a long time since I've bought a camera so if there's anything important you think I'm missing (in terms of quality) please bring it up.
Many thanks in advance!
