As previously mentioned, Mon Amour and I have a very swanky camera. Not and SLR, but still, very cool! Lots of cool manual adjustments and such that eventually we will learn how to use.
Until such a time when we learn how to take advantage of the manual options, we have very much enjoyed the 20x optical zoom, and were pretty enthused about the impressive 10 megapixel capabilities.
Our enthusiasm was kind of smothered as we came to grips with the fact that our pictures were just not looking as high quality as would have thought. But, we thought, perhaps we just can't tell how amazing the quality of our pictures is. I mean, can we really see the difference between, say, 3 megapixels, and 10 megapixels?
Let me answer that question with some pictures.

In case it wasn't clear enough - the answer would be, yes. You can tell. Boy howdy can you tell.

The embarrassing short(ish) version of the story goes something like this: Our camera CAN take 10megapixel pictures. However, it can also take 3, 4, 6 megapixel pictures. And somewhere along the line when Mon Amour were playing with some of the many buttons on the camera, without having read the manual or knowing what we were doing, set the camera to take 3 megapixel pictures. And apparently at that point, we became less intrigued with adjusting random things on the camera, and so there it stayed, at a pathetic 3 megapixels (it could be worse, the camera seems to have one megapixel setting worse than this - yikes!) until one day just a few weeks ago when I actually read the manual, and learned a bit about what we can adjust.
The moral of the story:
READ THE MANUAL!
Time to go take some decent pictures.....

I like the 10 mega pixels pictures. Very nice. The girl who got run over by a car happened the day before I came to see you. And I so much enjoyed coming to see you and your little farm house. Very cute!
