Well, I just have a regular point and shoot I use for general picture taking (Kodak EasyShare DX7590), and its served me well for many years. I was happy with the quality and it's done everything I've needed it to. I'm no photographer so it was perfect for me for everyday use, easy to upload pictures to the computer, easy to navigate settings on the camera and all that jazz.
However, over the past few days its been having trouble focusing and the pictures seem to be of lower quality than before. I haven't changed any of the settings or anything. At first I thought it just might be the lighting or something but I've taken pictures both inside and out and it's unable to focus on closeups (writing, logos, welds, etc...).
Is the cameras time running thin or is it something simple that needs to be fixed? The camera is a "few" years old but everything still works fine and it holds a charge great, etc...
If I have to get a new one what would you guys recommend? I really would just want another p&s with video capability. Not looking for anything insane, but not trying to take the cheap way out either.
I know there are a few camera experts on here so I figured it was worth a shot. Thanks in advance! :cool:
