Q. My old camera, a Canon Power Shot S5IS is acting weird. Time for a new one I think.
What a a really good advanced point and shot digital camera that would be a step or two up from the Power Shot S5 IS?
My daughter shows horses, so I need something that can capture moving subject well and is good in low light conditions!!!
I want a camera that feels/looks like a SLR, but is not. I am thinking about a Nikon Coolpix L820or maybe an Olympus Stylus SP-820UZ?
Thanks!

A. You'd do better to put a Tamron 18-270 or 18-250 (not 18-200) lens on a small DSLR body like a Sony A37, or other brand of your choice to keep it affordable chose an earlier camera model. The lens can stay with you when you upgrade provided that you don't jump ship from the brand. They can all be used in auto mode just like a P&S only you can develop your skills at your own pace.

But look at the dinky little DSLR Canon recently put on the market:

But if you must have a bridge camera then Pentax made the X5 just for people like you:

What Would be a Suitable Camera for Me?
Q. What are some really good cameras? I am an aspiring photographer, but I have your run-in-the-mill crappy camera. Next summer, I will be taking a school trip to Dublin, London, and Paris. I want a great quality camera for my trip but don't know where to look.
This is my ideal camera:

Is that a good camera? Or do you think I should get a different one?

A. Yes, a Nikon DSLR is an excellent camera. Your picture doesn't say which model the camera is, but all Nikon DSLR's are excellent. But then so are Canon's, Sony's, Pentax and Olympus. Look over the Nikon line and decide which meets your budget.

If you can afford the D7000, wait a few months, the newer D7100 probably will be announced and you might get a price break.
