Best Price: $552.00

from www.amazon.com
it offers a host of customizable features - far more than you would find in any point and shoot camera.
from www.amazon.com
whether you're just getting into digital photography or want to upgrade from a point-and-shoot, a beginner or been shooting for years, the d40 is a wonderful camera, hard to believe it's less than
from www.amazon.com
even if you use it as a point and shoot (in the auto mode) you get much better pictures than a non-slr camera.
from www.amazon.com
the camera is easy to use as a point and shoot with the auto settings, but it's also easy to customize the settings as you use it more.
from www.amazon.com
for a little more than many mid to high-end point and shoots, this camera packs a lot of technology into it's small price tag.

Best Price: $432.00

from www.amazon.com
the previous low noise king of point and shoots was the fujifilm f20/f30 series camera, until the f200exr fujifilm hasn't been able to match it.
from www.amazon.com
i purchased this camera after reading landale's excellent review and his patient assistance to the people who were disappointed in this as a point and shoot camera.
from www.amazon.com
however, this is not your typical point and click camera.
from www.amazon.com
if you are looking for one digital camera that has virtually every feature you would need or want for typical "point and shoot' photography, the fujifilm finepix f200exr is that camera.
from www.amazon.com
the finepix f200-exr is more or less like any other compact point-and-shoot camera except for one amazing feature -- the exr mode.
