First time, tryin this out.

I recently got a new camera, It's a Kodak CX7430 4MP. In the last few days I've been experimenting with it. Trying out all the modes and getting use to it.

Finally got some decent (IMO) pictures. Comments, or critisizm is a must, I really want to get better at this.

The first picture is at our new rest area's scenic overlook at Chautauqua Lake. The cameras on stock settings, just on the Landscape mode. And also a tripod.

Second is one of our statue's downtown. Again, On Landscape mode, I wasn't thinking and forgot to put it on Nighttime mode. I adjusted the ISO Speed to ISO 80.

Last and not least, Same settings but turned the Exposure Compensation up to +0.50. This one was freehand and its kinda blurry.

So now I've come to the question for the pros out there. The camera that I have right now has very good ratings, But down to the point. Is it a good camera, Period?

cool stuff josh, looks like your getting good at it
