Maybe you could give some examples so we know which cameras to avoid?

Because all of the sub $1000 ones I have used or examined have allowed at
least some exposure control by specifying things like "sand&snow",
"spotlight", etc. or by allowing an increase/decrease in the auto-exposure
setting. You might not have full control but at least it helps. And these
adjustments are totally separate from the white balance setting.
