For available light the higher the ISO rating the better, starting at around 800. Then a big lens with a tight focal ratio (f 2.8 or less) helps there too, by collecting enough light for good colour balance and allowing for the use of shorter shutter speeds.

If you really want a versatile digital camera make sure you can set the f stop, shutter speed, and focus yourself. Otherwise you're at the mercy of what the camera's onboard computer thinks is best, which often isn't
