Hello guys and gals

Last year I bought a Sony t100 a short while after it came out and ever since its been okay, a good camera for its price, small and fairly quick.

However, as times going on, I'm finding it to be problematic taking photos.

It either blurs - over flashes or under flashes. So my pictures either turn out a blurry mess, whites too dark or whites too bright.

I really want a good camera thats good for taking photos of my pets, presumably one that lets me control the strength of the flash.

Any advice? I'm looking for something in the 150-200 range thats small and digital

Thanks
