I am taking a lengthy backpacking trip across Asia in a month and I am looking for a new point and shoot camera.
Unfortunately I am fairly ignorant when it comes to the subject. I don't know what brands are good or what features are needed.
I am looking for something that would perform well in high light and low light, and preferably have a pretty goos zoom for all the outdoors sights. I don't know if this matters but I will also be around water a lot of the time so I am likely to take a lot of ocean and river shots. It would be great if the device slim/flat enough to fit in a pocket as well if possible. Megapixels don't seem like they would be an issue since I'm not printing posters and just about everything is at least 16mp it seems.
I have a loose budget of $200. If there is something just magnificent a little above, that is fine.
Any help as far as brands or what features to look for would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
