I've seen the proof of your photographic ability here, and need your help.
My old Sony cybershot has been a good little camera in many ways, but I'm limited in it's uses. My biggest gripes are that the color is not accurate with the purple/blue. I also can't take a shot of the garden under any of the settings without the lighter colored flowers being washed out.. even at sunrise on a cloudy day (regardless of the settings). I do like that I can just slip it into my pocket, but would consider something bulkier. I'd like to upgrade to something that has both auto and manual features. I've been looking online at cameras until I'm dizzy. I know a lot of people use their iphones, but it's not what I'm looking for (no cell service here)... I'm kind of a slow learner with technology, so I need something that's easy to use out of the box until I explore and learn manual functions.
I used a color card for this picture to see how off my camera is. The blue square in the second row is actually a rich purple.
What do you recommend? Tell me what you love (and don't like) about your cameras.
Thanks for your help!
