A really simple camera will never be able to do what the more complex one can..because it will
be able to do functions that the simple one can never do. Keeping the setting on automatic, those features will come into play just pushing the snap button..the camera will make the adjustments for you. Using the adjustments offered can overcome some of the lighting conditions that the automatic settings may not pick up as well, but you can't go wrong using automatic.
In picking a camera, a person has to decide how much they are willing or able to spend and then look for the best camera for them within that price range. Basic features..I wouldn't buy a camera without a separate view finder no matter how much I might be tempted by something. Experience has taught me that without one, using only an LCD screen what I'm trying to capture cannot be seen in bright sun, it truly is point and shoot and many a good shot has been lost with cut off heads etc. Optical zoom not digital zoom comes next. Many cameras exaggerate what they are capable of..Digital zoom is a good boost but the optical zoom is what counts. The megapixel capability is next. The average person will probably never need a high resolution but there is so much detail information that it does enable cropping a small part of a picture and blowing it up to be almost as good as the entire picture might have been. As long as the the other two requirements are met, I can compromise a little here. Narrowing down to possible choices..user reviews on each of them will be the next thing to investigate. Sometimes what seems like it has everything, turns out not to live up to its expectations.
