[QUOTE="OxJaw, post: 2184358, member: 12097"]I have a difficult time getting good pictures (to me anyway) no matter what camera I use, currently I have Nikon Coolpix and am hesitant to spend more money on a camera because I'm not sure it would make much of a difference so I really can't help with that. What I have found to help is lights, I have two of these and they seem to work well for me and don't take up much space either.
