The image quality is ok I suppose (can't match true DSLRs).
It seems to retain good quality shots when I've been out using it's macro function on plants/spiders webs etc just loses its detail over wider shots.
I sometimes look at pics taken with real good cameras; and I think to myself, "Self, get yourself one of those." Trouble is, there's too much "growing up poor just after the War, during rationing" in me. Too much old fashioned Lancashire thrift. If I don't really need something, I don't buy it. I wouldn't get pleasure out of it because there's that part of me, bred in the bone, that tells me not to waste brass on something I can easily do without. So I make do with what I have. If I knew I would use a camera (almost) every day, experimenting with features, and all that neat stuff, I would have one in a New York minute ... but ... if it would spend a lot of time gathering dust, or taking up space in my glove compartment ... then I can't justify it. However, I do get a lot of pleasure looking at the efforts, the creations, of others who are, let's say, more into it than I will ever be. So, keep up the good work, guys Oh ... and let's have more dog pics ... cats too ... and squirrels
