Hello all! This will be similar to one of the last threads. I would like a new camera but, alas, I don't know which one would be the best choice. The camera I have now is a Kodak Z700 and it takes good pictures under certain conditions. I recently took a trip to a local arboretum, and discovered that my camera was good but subpar. My normal picture-taking operations including wildflowers(mostly wildflowers), scenery shots, and the occasional bird. I'm looking for a camera that can take good up-close shots and distant shots in low to bright light conditions in the range of about $200-$300(similar to the last thread). I'm aware I won't get a GREAT camera for that range, but I'm ok with that. There are so many cameras out there for that price range though, and most of them seem to try to focus on zoom abilities, which I don't entirely care about. If anyone has any recommendations, I would be grateful.
