After several years and thousands of photos I started having problems with my little Sony Point and Shoot so I ordered another not very expensive Sony Point and Shoot with more Pixels. At least to my eyes it lets me take wonderful pictures. My old camera would not capture the color red or blue correctly but the new one does. I am looking forward to lots of fun with my new camera.

Lovely detailed pics. More pixels makes a big difference. Always enjoy your pics ... 😊

I use a Sony, also. Mine is Cybershot & it takes fairly good photos, even while in "auto" mode setting.. Just over 14 megapixels..Glad it captures the colors so well, for you.

I'd almost forgot, it may even have an in-camera , cropping feature & can't locate my guide, for all those settings ! Seems I can't to recall exactly what button to press, get it into Macro mode, but it seems to work, just fine, depressing the shutter button halfway down for a moment & then goes into focus & then depress it, all the way, to get your shot. Should have been called "easy-shots" lol!

Most new cameras don't come with full hard copy manuals anymore. But you can always find them online.

Thanks Rick. But I think someone devious added my camera, as a "device" on their computer & that was an old "windows" OS, & ever since then, it didn't operate exactly the same way. It wasn't my doing !
So, I'm not really certain, it will ever operate, like it used to & just have to "deal with it' lol
Yeah, I think there's pdf on it, online & probably could print it out... but I've had it for several years, prior to that incident & just hasn't been the same, any more. But, still takes fairly nice photos, in spite of it all.

There's probably a factory reset option somewhere on your camera, Shawn. That should reset it back to how it was before any configuration changes made by the computer.

I guess 5 is way better than 4.
