I have been an SLR girl for years, but I'm finding I miss some good "friends and family" type shots when I don't want to lug my Xti around with me. Thus, its time to get a point and shoot! I have only owned one, a gift from many many years ago... I think a 3.2 megapixel that took about 15 seconds to focus on anything.
My main concerns are size (small enough to slip into a pocket!), shutter lag, and cost. I have a camera to take artsy shots with, I want a camera that I'm not afraid to every single place I go to catch some fun family shots.
For this reason, I'm thinking the Powershot 1200. The price is certainly right at about $170, its very compact, and the reviews seem to be mostly good. Because this is the first time I've ever looked into point-and-shoots though, I wanted to check and see if there was any major issues with this camera I had not considered... or if there was a better option for me.
Thanks!
