what you want I suspect is a Bridge camera Sort of half way between a 'proper' DSLR and a point and shoot.
Advantages of a bridge camera - it has a fixed lens so you don't have to change lenses - BUT you can use it as a point and shoot and it will have a BIG zoom on it [ often the zoom is ten times ] If you feel brave after using it in Automatic Mode for while , you can learn to take more control of it and tell it what settings you want to use , but you don't need to - it can be used very successfully as a point and shoot.

Canon Powershots get better reviews than the Nikon Coolpix does.
I have a friend who owns one (a Powershot) and was able to use it in our digital photography class because it has the option to use Manual mode if you want. Sony Cyber-shots are good point & shoot cameras too.

Back to our favorite discussion. Nikon v Canon. Ask Loretta what she thinks, Heather!

Believe it. None of the computers or mp3 players I've bought have been all the same brand. My cars have all been different brands. My appliances are mixed brands. My external hard drives are different brands. I have several different brands of SD cards. When I buy a photo printer, it is unlikely to be Canon. There's an Epson I'm looking at.
If I was loyal to Canon brand only, I wouldn't have any Sigma lenses. The reason why I am loyal to their camera bodies is because I have a couple thousand dollars (more actually) invested in lenses that fit Canon bodies...and well, they make great dSLR cameras. If they started making garbage cameras, I'd sell my stuff and switch to something else in a heartbeat.
Brand loyalty really confuzzles me.

You do realize that to a certain extent I was picking on you, right?
The reason I am loyal to Nikon is that I at the time when I switched from film to digital SLR I had Nikon mount lenses and a Nikon Speedlight. As long as Nikon is making high quality stuff that meets my needs I see no need to switch. If it ever gets to the point where I am making good money in photography and Nikon is not keeping up with my demands, then I will think about a change.
It is the same thing with paint. I primarily use 2 brands of acrylic. One brand for everything but the skin, and another brand for the ochre skin color. As long as these 2 brands do what I need them to do, I won't switch.

I wasn't sure.
I might overreact a bit because I don't want to be like some people are about their almighty Apple products.

Glory to God in the highest. My friend and confessor Fr. John Abdullah has his name submitted as one of the candidates for election to Bishop in the Antiochian Church!!! AXIOS, AXIOS, AXIOS Fr. John! I so hope God blesses Fr. John for his years of love and service to the Church. He will make an excellent bishop if he is elected!!!
