So... i am looking to purchase a camera that is not super expensive yet efficient.
I don't need anything fancy, i just wish for it to shoot perfectly regardless of movement ( if i was on a train / car )
Recommendations? |

Your shutter speed (ie. your ability to capture fast moving things without blur in varying degrees of light) will depend on the quality of the camera's lens, as well as its f-stop rating. The lower the f-value, the better the lens, generally speaking (very generally).
I'm assuming you want a compact camera, and not a DSLR right?
The most important info you can give here is your budget :p |

I can't really help you much, sorry mate. Even with Google, my issue is comparing prices here to yours in the US - Waaaaay different.
Lots of photography peeps here though, hopefully someone can help you out :) |

| Stu, do you happen to be an expert on lenses, too? I might need to buy one for work soon (needs to be Canon) and I might need some hints there. |

Sony NEX-7 for the win!
Not cheap, but it's an amazing camera, I absolutely love mine. |

You could get some good advice here: http://kenrockwell.com/
My AU$0.02 is that my old camera, a Sony DSC-W70 had pretty good low light performance for a compact. It didn't have any explicit control over shutter speed though.
But yeah 'low light performance' is a good catch-all term for what you're looking for I reckon. |

Yeah, I can help you out with Canon lenses. I use Canon gear as well. |

| On a side note, does anyone have any experience with the Sony SLT-A57 or the other Sony DSLRs? I'm looking at getting a Canon 2-Ti, but Sony has some pretty slick features for an extra $100 or so. From what I saw, it has a better operating system that will automatically stitch together pics for panoramas and better low lighting shots. |
