I might be in the market for a camera a little better than the typical PS but not quite a DSLR. Something like the Sony DSC-H50 and the Nikon Coolpix P80. What do you guys think of these two cameras and of these two, which would you pick? On paper I like the sony because it it's capable of 30 second exposures, tilt screen, and Zeiss glass. The nikon has a little better zoom (18X), and the menu interface is better.
Any other cameras in this category I should be looking at? Other than optical zoom, what features should I be looking for?
