Hello.

My name is Gareth, and I am a complete photography novice. The only cameras I have had have been ones on Mobile Phones, or point and click digital/film cameras.

I bought myself a Camera recently, in the hope to learn how to take some decent photo's. I have always been interested in taking pictures, and so I decided to buy myself a proper digital camera.

The camera I bought is a Kodak EasyShare Z712 IS, with a 4GB memory card and a protective carry case. I would appreciate it if people could let me know if I have got a Good Camera or a naff camera, I don't mind if peoples views are negative, as I am a novice and it is a good starting point either way.
 
Thanks for the welcome. I am looking to get a hang of taking decent pictures, learning some techniques and finding a few thinks that I am interested in to take pictures of, then I will think of upgrading to something more technical. Just hope I can get some decentpicts withthis camera first.
 
Welcome and remember Litchfield,Snowdon and Bailey probably started with lesser kit than the Kodak Easyshare !!!!
 
Hi and welcome :wave:
 
Thanks for the warm welcome guys. :)
 
Hello :)

Check out the tutorials section. Reading the one on the 'rule of thirds' will help you move from snaps to photographs ;) Other useful stuff in that section too.
 
Hi Gaz - I've only got a 7 yr old Casio QV3000 myself at present ( soon to be upgraded to DSLR ) but digital gives you much more freedom than film. Most Kodaks are decent cameras. Have a look at my gallery to see what can be done with a 3MP compact digital. ( plus a bit of Paint Shop Pro & Photoshop Elements ) :welcome:
