Hi and welcome to CS spaceman51

The Nikon L110 looks good, except that it has no manual overrides, which means you will not get to play with aperture- or shutter speed priority modes when you are ready to advance further.

I guess it is alright if you want to use the predetermined scene modes and let the camera decide the settings for you.

Playing with the 10x zoom and learning how to compose your photos are just as important

Thank you AnsQ. I guess I will be looking at some prosumer cameras and doing more research before getting the camera... arigato
