I don't have too much technical knowledge of cameras, but i've always liked Canon but am open for suggestion I would like for it to have 8 mp or more and decent low light performance. Media format isn't so much of an issue, so any would be fine. Also I like the compact size like the Canon Powershot A590 IS, which is one that I was looking at. More/Less a camera that has some good features if I ever decide to try to use them, but generally speaking it will just be for normal picture taking.
