Best point and shoot under $350? - freescotland - 04-16-2010
My wife wants a point and shoot and the budget is to keep it under $350.
Would like optical zoom at least 6 or more and decent low light. Decent image stabilization.
720 video and stereo audio a bonus.
Any opinions on the lumix FZ35, the ZS5 or ZS3?
I have also read a few good things about the Sony HX5
She prefers as much auto stuff, such as scene settings, as possible. Does not really plan to use manual anything on it.
Others?
thanks

I've kind of had my eye on the Canon Powershot SX20 IS, which is in your price range. But the camera I have now is still working okay - darn. Anyway, here's a link, but it's probably too heavy as a P&S:

I'm really drawn to the Canon S90 and Lumix LX3 right now. They miss you requirements a bit in a few areas, but doggone it, if you could live with that I don't think you'd be disappointed. I've heard too many good things about them. Just a tiny hair out of your price range.
