If things are washed out, it's probably over-exposing a little, or perhaps it's a saturation issue. If you get your camera out of the auto-everything mode, you may be able to tweak the exposure and color saturation by using a mode with increased color saturation and adjusting exposure compensation. Some cameras, usually more expensive ones, will let you tweak color saturation to your liking too. Dig out your instruction manual, it should explain how to do that sort of stuff.Originally Posted by zadidoll /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I'm finding that newer cameras tend to wash out colors and older camera take better pictures in terms of color. I know Jean even mentioned in a recent post of hers how her newer camera didn't capture her hair color while her older one did. I can't recall who else recently mentioned the same thing maybe it was Christine at Temptalia who did. As Carol mentioned above regardless of what camera you do use having the proper light is key.
NOPE! i read up on the one we had a while ago and everyone says the same: kills batteries, horrible pictures, just all around a terrible product. i know of other canon p&s cameras that are good too, but just that one was a dud. i wish i could remember the exact model!Originally Posted by Carol D. /img/forum/go_quote.gif

Your camera basically does what you tell it to do. If it doesn't give you the results that you like right from the box, you can change the settings.

Are you using rechargeable batteries? They should last a long time.
While I'm not currently a Canon point-and-shoot user, I've had a Canon point-and-shoot in the past, friends and family currently have them, and they're excellent cameras. Perhaps your husband got a defective one?
Exactly what mine is... a Canon, can't recall the model off hand but it's a Canon.Originally Posted by Katie-Gaslight /img/forum/go_quote.gif
