I have credit card point that I might redeem for this camera:

FUJIFILM FinePix S8100FD Digital Camera

Found this review. I don't know much about photography, so I am lost.

Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd Review

We currently have Nikon CoolPix 2100. It has like 3 megapixels. It is ok, but slow, not that sharp. For the amateur picture taker....mostly kids, family, etc. Is this Fuji a good buy?

Thanks!

it is going to be a huge improvement from what you have. I say go for it and you will be happy with the results.

It seems to be a good camera and for free it doesn't get better than that!!! Perfect for all the holiday shots coming up

Exactly! I just didn't know if I was getting in over my head!

there might be some features you will have to learn but read that manual and practice with just taking random shots....make sure you post some shots over here

OK, seriously....Sheila....we have known each other a while, right? I am very accustomed to point and shoot....how hard is this going to be????

every camera has an auto mode that is pretty much fool proof so you can usrle that and then branch out and try using the modes that give you more control of the shot you are trying to get.

You will grow into the camera once you have learned to use the basics

I think you will be very happy with this camera...huge improvement over what you have, and if you never take it off auto...you will still be happy!!

then, if you do wnat to play some, you have the option. maybe move to one of the other modes for practice. I also have some simple to follow lessons (that I borrowed from someone else) if you would want to use them.

I say go for it!

Thanks! We are really leaning toward doing this...no way we could afford to buy it, but for free......
