Help me choose a camera from the list

Good afternoon. This question has been raised more than once, and as they say: "I'm not the first, I'm not the last." After a long deliberation, I decided to abandon a used DSLR, in favor of a digital camera, due to the fact that the dimensions are smaller, and when buying a DSLR, if you are completely layman, then it is very easy to buy a pig in a poke.

In this regard, having run through local stores, I compiled a list of what I can buy list

The camera is needed for everyday use, in order to carry it with you, and get the best possible quality for this money, while the shooting process itself should not be slow, i.e. the camera should be responsive. The quality of shooting video is not so critical, and you can neglect a little in favor of photo quality. Reading the comments on the same market did not lead to a choice, since the cameras are similar, and the reviews, respectively, too.

Thanks for the constructive replies.

Canon Digital IXUS 115 HS - small, stylish, reliable. Fast processor - the camera is very lively and "responsive".

I dealt with two different Canon PowerShots, I can recommend them with confidence. From this set, I would also take a closer look at the Nikon Coolpix.

Of the proposed Fujifilm FinePix F80EXR
The larger physical size of the matrix with a small number of pixels will give a better picture.

The question is almost about the weight of a spherical horse in a vacuum.
It is necessary to paint to the end then what is needed from the camera, here are the questions that you should answer yourself when choosing (IMHO):
1) Do you need to shoot a video at all? Or get off the cell phone?
2) Moisture protection? Important on vacation/In rainy areas.
3) Autonomy: powered by your own battery or AA batteries? Important when traveling.
4) Do you need a zoom?
5) Do you need a wide angle?
6) Stabilizer?
7) Raw? (Possibly in the firmware)
8) What do you mainly plan to shoot for - flowers, sunsets, booze, portraits, cars, houses?
9) Maximum size/weight.
10) Will you be ready to pay extra for different accessories later?
11) After how much do you decide to change it and for what? (maybe it’s easier to buy a more expensive device right away?
12) The maximum amount of tugriks.
For now, if I were you, I would take an old used camera from Canon / Nikon + a fixed lens (say 50 / 1.8) or a staff member for the first time.
From Ixus, I immediately warn you, be careful - it turns landscapes into soap: there are too many pixels for such a toy lens. There were different PowerShots - they were quite suitable for their purposes.

Why isn't Powershot on the list? Well, they are a bit bigger than the Xs, but the compact models are clearly no bigger than the Fujifilm FinePix S2800HD.

I recommend a camera from Sony i.e. Sony Cyber-shot as you have on the list

I am always surprised by the numbers when I look at the development of digital compacts. On a tiny matrix of 14-16 megapixels already, ISO up to 12800 is a nightmare). Solid marketing, no benefit at all. Judging by the dry numbers, the F80EXR looks the most profitable, perhaps the most interesting option. In fact, all these cameras will give approximately the same picture in terms of technical quality. It is important to see the options live, wander through the menu, take a couple of shots - see if it is convenient for you personally to use the camera, perhaps it is the ergonomics and speed of work that will incline the choice in favor of one or another model).

Checking / choosing a DSLR is quite simple: spend 20 minutes checking focusing, the amount of dirt on the matrix, and the general condition. If there is a rest of the warranty (canon has 2 years), then it’s generally super and there are no problems. Before that, to be sure, a similar device can be twisted with friends / at the box office / in the store.

@bondbig

Of the proposed options, I would take this one:
market.yandex.ru/model.xml?hid=91148&modelid=6070724
But my shit is not supported by anything objective. Is that the minimum number of megapixels as a plus.

Get the one with the highest frame rate.

I would advise you to choose a camera with a BSI-CMOS matrix. Wonderful camera — market.yandex.ru/model.xml?modelid=6988683&hid=91148&suggest=1

From your list, I would choose Olympus VR-320 or Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W570.

@SokoloffP

From the point of view of “take a soap dish”, I would start from the density of pixels per inch of the matrix and the ability to use AA batteries.
In most cases, this task is unsolvable.
Choose 2-3 models according to the “largest matrix” principle and rely on subjective feelings, such as the convenience of the menu, the number of buttons and a good grip. :)

If you really want a compact, I would advise the Canon PowerShot S95 - it can raw, a large matrix with a relatively small resolution ⇒ makes less noise.

@Alexx_ps

Canon has some of the best matrices with some kind of innovative color rendering system, and Fuji has good lenses. I would take this Canon market.yandex.ru/model.xml?hid=91148&modelid=7071463 - there are more shooting modes, more pixels, more magnification, video in all models will be shit.
