important specs are related to end usage of the image. any camera on auto will 'point and shoot' first thing to consider is size. how many MP do you need? honestly, for most internet usage you really don't even need crisp focus, like facebook or twitter.
the F-stop is determined by the lens, the lower the F number' the more light will fall on the 'film' while the 'shutter' is open and also allows you to focus better.
so buy a mid-range camera body and put a high quality 50 mm 1.2 or 1.4 lens on it. then set the camera to 'P' and point and shoot... see?

just make sure the pro glass is compatible with the body. some of the lower priced bodies won't drive focus on a lens...

one more small tech thingy: 3.6-7 means the glass is 3.6 WIDE OPEN and closes to 7 on full zoom automatically, so the further you push in with the lens the 'darker' it gets.
