Been playing with the camera

I took some shots while waiting for the kids' bus yesterday afternoon

Very clear photos, unretouched

I'm liking the macro setting

and the no flash setting seems less inclined to blur

Do I need to wash my coffee maker or what? This is embarrassing.

I'm liking the in camera editing too. This time of year the flash is needed inside and given the light wood cabinets, light wood floors, light wood furniture and the yellow living room walls my photos are already inclined to have a yellow hue even without the flash

Unretouched

retouched in camera only

Overall I'm pretty pleased, though it will take me some time to get used to looking through a viewfinder again. I've been looking at a display screen for 6 years. 

Put the camera up to your face and look through the little window? Seriously? People do that?

I also need a cool bag for it. I'd thought one came with the package I got but I read that wrong. WooHoo! bag shopping!!!
