It may be time for a new camera.
Another pocket sized camera.
When I first purchased my Canon S95 in 2011, the reviews bragged about the great clarity of low light photos, but when I look at recent photos I notice that they are a bit fuzzy looking.
My pups do move around a lot and I have to take a lot of shots of them indoors to get photos that are not total blurs, but in these photos they were sitting completely still.
I'm not sure I am ready to spend the money since really awesome pocket sized, quality picture taking cameras can be pricey.
Not as much as a DSLR, but the ones I want would probably be $400-$700 range.
And yet I want something simple so that I don't have to put a lot of thought into taking a photo.
It snowed, it's super cold outside, so I sit indoors thinking.
Thinking as to whether or not I need a new camera.
This is the second Canon pocket camera I have owned, but my very first digital camera was an Olympus, and it took the clearest photos I have ever taken. Might be time to reconsider the Olympus name again.
Thoughts?
I think it depends on what you are looking for. I have a very tiny, thin Nikon Coolpix that I bought for $60 that I keep with me in the car that takes photos far beyond what I ever expected of it. I have a Nikon DSLR that I seldom use because it is heavy. The camera I use most often is Nikon Coolpix P500, which I don't think they make anymore, of course. I also have a Canon Powershot and it was what I used the most for newspaper work. I guess my point is that you may want to check out some of the cheaper-end models if you're looking for something for like in-house photos of the dogs. (You might also just need to try a new SD Card. After a while the SD cards wear out. Give that a go first and see if it affects the quality of your photos.)
ReplyDeleteI'd try mounting it on a tripod and taking a pic to see if there's any blur. I know for me it's hard to not move when I take a pic, even though I swear I'm not. That would at least rule out if it's the camera or the operator, LOL.
ReplyDeleteTook me forever to get around to pulling out my tripod but what a difference it makes. I agree with Dawn, try it out. :)
