Looking for new point and shoot camera

Hi

im looking for some recommendations on a point and shoot camera

it needs to be snappy when taking pictures,decent zoom,good in low light and in doors... for a sporting event like a wrestling event..and for my girlfriend she wants it to have wifi and be able to upload to social media accounts from the camera

megapixels whatever you think is best considering everything else

size would prefer nothing to bulky but doesnt have to be super tiny

we would like to spend up to $350 lower is always better but that is our max

any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

Did some searching on B&H and found Nikon just released a new point and shoot. It's $346.

Sony Cybershot DSCHX30V, massive zoom on this one.

However, if you can stretch your budget by a $100, get the Canon S110. I've personally used one and it's an excellent camera. I'm actually surprised that it's $450 in B&H because my brother-in-law was able to buy one in Hong Kong for $350.

i want to modify what i had originally asked for

looking at cameras in that price range and what some have suggested i think theres features in many we wont use we dont need anything too "professional"

i want something thats good quality and meets what i say but i think that will come at a cheaper price now looking at stuff like maybe 250?

also im open to non wifi suggestions at this point i just want something thats great for the price and is easy to use as well without features that the average person wouldnt use

also would like it too be good at hd video
 
any opinion on the samsung ex2f?

and forgive me for me not so knowledgeable in this area but when a camera has a pop up flash like the same samsung does that is the camera main flash right?.. so will it pop when its needed? and do they usually automatically go back down?

The EX2F is a fine camera, it'll suit your needs well.

Regarding the flash, it will pop up as needed, but you'll have to pop it back down. If the flash is up and it isn't needed it won't fire, but it still won't pop down automatically.

what do you think of the new Sony DSC-WX80 based on specs

obivously its not in the same class as some of these others but if i can spend less im more then fine with that lol i just want something thats better then a smartphone overall when it comes to vids and pictures

Looks like a good camera to me, it'll probably be lacking in the manual controls department though, so keep that in mind. If you are interested in the WX80, I'd wait until some reviews are up online to make your decision.
