    P&S camera under $200 HELP

    Okay guys, well i wanted to buy a DSLR, but ive decided i wont use it enough to justify the price. So im after a well featured Point and Shoot camera. I like taking night shots of my car and landscapes so a wide lens and shutter speed settings would be nice, also 4x optical zoom or more, and around the $155 or under but no more than $200.

    I like the look of these models but im open to any other camera that fit my budget. Any ideas, reviews or help would be great.

    Samsung ES75.....
    Song CyberShot W310.....
    Samsung ST60......
    Fujifilm XP10 Tuff/water proof.....

    I'd usually recommend Nikon but they are pretty shocking at night.

    my recommendations would be anything by sony, canon or panasonic for a point and shoot.

    I've got a fairly recent model samsung here and my 4 year old nikon takes better photos.

    jump onto Teds.com.au and have a browse.
    stay away from nikon p&s if you want to take any low light photos without a tripod.

    Honestly though. for a decent point and shoot look to spend a bit more than $200.

    a relative of mine got one of these (http://www.teds.com.au/panasonic-dig...58801_2320800/)
    the photos it took were unbelievable for such a small camera.
