From what you are showing, the F7 you are seeing is as small of an appature as you are going to get.

It does look like a nice point and shoot camera and does have a lot of features, but it's designed for people that never have to take it off of automatic. Do you have someone you can borrow a digital camera from that is better deisgned to do manual shooting? Even the older 3 megapixle cameras worked very well for this kind of stuff since you are mainly after web images. My first digital camera, the Canon D30 was a 3 megapixel camera and it did great up to about 16x20 (as long as light, focus and exposure was all correct) and outstanding for web images. Other than that, what you have can do a good job, it's just going to be more challenging.
