Hello, I just got back from Costa Rica and had my Nikon coolpix 775 camera ripped off in Puerto Viejo in the alemendra cabinas. Please be careful if you vacation there because I have gone multiple times and things have changed for the worse. Anyhow I need a new camera and I have about $500 to spend and I would like one w/ manual shutter speed adjustment and a decent optical lens size. My coolpix didn't take good concert pics but it did take great normal pics so I was really happy w/ Nikon and the quality of the camera. I would like something to shoot concerts from far and near and action shots and so on but I would definetly consider myself a hobbyist photog. Please help w/ suggestions and thanks.
