New camera

Peter, while you are reading the book, just put the camera in "Superior Auto"....that yellow hand symbol. It is so program smart the rest of the choices can wait for experimentation.

Yes, remember that most cameras contain more information about taking good images than you would learn in 3 lifetimes.............Start as Robert suggests and work up from there if you need to...........

I'm at the beach. Here are a few snaps I took to see what the Sony 30x would do. See the orange and white umbrella through the bars in the railing? All photos taken from the same seated location...and through the bars of the railing. It loses resolution out at the far end ....but for a compact camera, what do you want?

I've got a new Canon that is 50x to this Sony compact's 30x. I'll try it while I'm at the beach.

Here are a couple that will give you more of an idea of they reach of this compact camera. See the white building in the center of the image? See the small figure on top of the building? See the next picture? Same figure. Taken from the same spot about 100 plus yards away. All he did is turn around before walking away. Photo's taken hand held while standing in water pulling sand out from under my feet.

Here are a few with the Canon SX50HS. The original images were 4000 pixels now reduced to 1000 wide. Note the red/pink roof on the sun tent just above the middle palms. Then look to the first blue cover to the right of it. Some distance for a hand held shot, I'd say when using the telephoto.

No photo corrections are done to any of these images. They were shot with just auto program. Didn't use the beach program to make the colors more vivid.
