CNET editors' buying advice
We have not reviewed this product but here is CNET's buying advice on Digital cameras. This content was chosen based on the features included with this model of digital camera.
Aperture-priority
Aperture-priority is an automated exposure mode that will allow the photographer to set the aperture, and the camera will then set the appropriate shutter speed based on the light meter reading. In this way, a photographer can control depth of field easily and create images with selective focus. This works well when you have a distracting or unattractive background that you want to keep out of focus, or just want to have more creative options in your images.

Shutter-priority
Shutter-priority is an automated exposure mode that will allow the photographer to set the shutter speed, and the camera will then set the appropriate aperture based on the light meter reading. Fast shutter speeds are ideal for capturing sharp images of high speed events, such as sports and other high action occasions. Slow shutter speeds can be set to get artistic blur in images, such as moving water or car taillights at night. Using shutter-priority will allow such flexibility while providing good exposure for your photos.

Image stabilization (Anti-shake)
When using handheld cameras at slow shutter speeds, or with high optical zoom, image stabilization (aka anti-shake) will help with capturing sharper images. There are two types of image stabilization, optical and electronic. Electronic, or digital, stabilization works by shifting pixels within the image frame to interpolate sharpness. Optical sharpness is attained by physical movement within either the camera body or the lens element, which compensates for handheld shaking. Of the two, optical is generally considered more favorable by most photographers.
