Another P/S advice thread
This is somewhat redundant, as there are other threads asking for advice on point on shoots, which I read and gained some info for, but my requirements are specific to me, just like everyone else, so here goes. Had an old cannon till it got stolen a couple months ago.
Looking for an advanced point and shoot. Requirements, listed in order or importance/most specific first:
-Fully manual. None of this garbage where you have to choose to have manual control over either aperture or shutter speed but can't have both.
-Short delay from when you press the button to when the camera takes the picture, I don't like burst mode for action shots. This is the requirement I would most like feedback on as I don't see any data on it in product descriptions.
-Small, fits in a pocket, perhaps even fits in a large pocket while inside a pelican style case.
-Cheap, looking to spend <$250 would be stoked on something around $100 if its "almost" as good as cannon s110 etc.
-Good zoom, 20X isnt absolutely necessary but would be awesome, def want something a lot better than 5X
I do not need
-Burst mode or any features related to it. Never use it, even when taking action pics I just time my shots.
-The ability to attach bigger lenses would be cool but not a priority and something I may never use.
-GPS/WIFI.

Looking at cannon sx280 and panasonic lumix zs20. Also wondering what the difference is between the sx280 and sx280 HS. Right now a sx280 for $200 shipped on amazon is looking tempting.
