Question: Best camera for no experience photographer!?
I am looking for a digital camera that takes high quality photos!. I am not a photographer and don't plan on trying to be one!. I simply want a camera for a current project I am working on that I don't have to fuss with!. I get frustrated when photographing images against back light, dim light, etc!. The less I have to do, the better!. I have no knowledge regarding the proper flash, etc but am tired of the crappy pictures my current digital is producing!. Any suggestions for something that might work with a non-photographer like me!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Study the owners manual and learn how to use the camera that you have!. Most likely the poor quality of the photographs you are getting is your fault and not the cameras!. You can give a $35,000 camera to someone who doesn't know how to use it and you are going to get very high resolution crap!. Someone who know what they are doing can use a cheap camera and get amazing photos!.
You can use your camera in auto mode and just focus on the composition and the lighting!. Back lighting will produce shadows or silhouettes if you do not also use the flash!. For low light either boost the ISO or use the flash!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I've seen some amazing pictures from a Canon A330 (I think that's the model -- it's cheap, in any case)!. It was even an older 3mp model, and the pictures looked better than the ones I get from my 7!.2 mp Sony Cybershot camera!. I'm disappointed with my Cybershot!. I only got it about 1 year ago, and I'm thinking of replacing it with a DSLR this summer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I am no pro but for christmas my parents bought me a
Olympus Mju 790 SW!. I love that camera soo much!. It is small and very easy to work//understand!. It even takes underwater photos!! It has different settings for everything you need!. Its a little pricey around the 300$ish range!. It comes in 3 great colors or silver, blue or orange!. I love it!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I had a Sony Cyber Shot at one point that was pretty straight-forward and easy to use!. I traded it in for something a little more confusing later on, but it served me will while I had it!. They have come down in price a lot too!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
