Realistic photo examples?

It's all well and good taking test photos of bright sunny days, but I imagine most Reg readers take, for the most part, the kinds of photos I do: shots of our friends and family. These photos are often taken - gasp - indoors.

I have a Coolpix S560 and it is utterly incapable of taking a clear, unblurred shot indoors on the automatic settings. "I think there's something wrong with your camera" is something I've heard a lot. Now yes, I can bump up the ISO by going through a few menus. But if I'm going to make my own judgments about light for every shot I may as well use an old 35mm Nikon.

Is this camera an improvement? Who knows!

Come on Reg - let's see some real-world photos. We don't all spend all our time in sunny parks, much as we might like that.

£100 cheaper does everything here better and HD video...

Nuff said.
