Replacing a bathroom fan....what to get.

Condensation occurs when there is insufficient air movement.
No, it is related to the temperature of the air and surfaces.

It does not just dissapear of its own accord as you suggest.
Yes it does (in my silent bathroom) - breathe on a mirror.

There has to be ventilation
Indeed - but that is not only produced by a fan.
OP does have a window, and, I presume, a door.

Good ventilation equals zero condensation ,no matter the surface temp

You seem to be under the impression that there shall be no condensation.
You would need a wind tunnel for that.

There is the point that if that is what happens in your bathroom, that is no condensation whatsoever with the fan on, then perhaps you don't need the fan at all.

It will do no harm for the tiles and mirror to mist over (it shouldn't get to running down) while you bathe, (you will notice there is no condensation on the towel, Why is that?) then when you finish, either open the window or leave the door open.
If the condenstaion is not gone in ten or fifteen minutes then you have, as I said, more fundamental problems.

Because a towel absorbs moisture, surely you would know that) then when you finish, either open the window or leave the door open.Good way to transfer damp air to the rest of your property, hardly to be recommended .
