    Hello,

    Its long time I have being trying to understand and select the most
    appropriate camera for me:

    These are my requisits:

    Price at most 500 US$ more or less
    I want the camera to shoot good night pictures at least for a person
    with some background.

    What specs for the built flash I should check ?
    Flash guide number? what is best?

    Yes off course lense speed most be very good one I guess less than F3
    at wide and F8 at tele ?
    WHat about sensor type? CCD or CMOS? what is best?
    Sewnsor size? 1/1.8" or 1/2.7" what is better?
    Colour filter arrayt ? CYGM or RGB ?

    Please tell me any other parameters I should be carefull to check to
    have best results including low light photography.

    Off course I would like the camera to be not so big and not so heavy
    like less than 300gr.

    Please recommend me what you think are best modules to fit in my
    requeriments?

    Thanks,

    Mario

    parameter type or values is best?

    Best would be to read a couple of reviews, pick a few cameras that you like
    and come back here for input. It's hard for people to judge all cameras
    equally as there are so many choices these days.
