Hoping you folks can help me narrow down some choices for a new family camera. Currently all of the pictures we take are either on a smartphone or with my mother-in-laws Canon Rebel, but my wife would like to have our own nice camera for our family to capture sports, beach days, etc... Selfishly, I'd like to get something I can carry on fishing/hunting trips to get some nice edited photos with also.
I'm leaning towards a nice point and shoot camera. It looks like they've come a long ways since the last Nikon I had and since my inlaws already have the big DSLR I think we'd get more use out of a smaller camera. I'd still like the option to do some nice editing (blurred backgrounds, etc) but obviously you can tell I'm pretty green with photography.
I'll throw a budget out there of $500-600 for a nice camera, but only want to spend what I have to.
