The problem with that is that most digital cameras have to focus on what they are shooting, if you buy a camera that takes pictures without focusing then they will suck

You just have to learn how to focus before you shoot, most digital cameras achieve this by holding down the shoot button halfway


Canon A550

There's an A550 review here, if it's of any help in your decision....

Basically the main complaint is the control buttons are a bit clunky, but otherwise a very nice budget camera.
