Room Lighting

My little Casio point and shoot camera doesn’t handle room level lighting all that well. Miss Lilly Pad the Kitty/Gremlin helps me demonstrate.

No flash, room lighting. The three pics I didn’t post were all too blurry to use.

The flash clears things up but it doesn’t look very good.

I looked at the Best Buy website for point and shoot cameras. They are too expensive and Nikon doesn’t make anything that I would be interested in. What about Ricoh? They own Pentax, and one of the film cameras is a Pentax. That could work in the keeping-it-in-the-family respect. Do they make any pocket sized point and shoots?
