The first point and shoot digital I bought back in 2005 was nothing special, but it could shoot some high quality images for casual use. As long as you didn’t need to do artsy-fartsy photography you were golden. I bought one a few years earlier and it was garbage.

I too still have my $1,000 Nikon Coolpix 990 and it still does an excellent job

P&S cameras actually should be doing a pretty decent job. What P&S did you buy. How well grounded are you in the fundamentals of photography?

While my D100 is still a viable camera, it was not until the introduction of the D3 just before the China Olympics did anyone take digital cameras seriously. Only in the past few years, has Arizona Highways began to accept digital images for publication.

The amazingly high performance of the D3 in the low light conditions found in many of the sports venues at the Olympics, caught the attention of many who and not looked very closely at Nikon as possible choice as a professional tool. Seeing images shot at ISO’s of 3200 and 6400 that had less noise than a Canon at 800 ISO, caught the attention of sports photographers who buy their own equipment.

Here is a sample of an image shot with the D3 in a rather dark building.

This was shot with the ISO set to an amazing 12,800 ISO. As you can see, there is no noise in the shadow area

My guess is that you have your ISO set to AUTO and the poor photos have more to do with the shooting conditions rather than the actual camera

Of course knowing that you have a P&S made by a well know camera brand and NOT an economy GE, Vivitar or Polaroid would help as well.

Basically if a camera is NOT listed on this link, it is basically just a generic camera with someones name stamped on it.

History is one of the toughest suits of England’s tourism, but when it comes to telling the episode of its folk, no one does it better than the roadways, walls, and architecture of Chester. This idyllic municipal is a minute pocket of experiences that introduces England in a whole new way. You never will know what Roman England is about until you have walked the boulevards of Chester. From red sandstone walls that catalog Tudor and Victorian edifices, to the shopping avenues in the city centre, you will find composite of England’s history in illustrious fashion.

Chester is very proud of its glorious days gone by, but it also celebrates the present. As a Roman outpost, Chester has the mysteries that you will not find in other English large towns. Take past tours as you travel to the rampart Deva, a patch of wall designed to drive out the Welsh. There are also remnants of Viking invasion in the shores of Chester. English fortifications and castles that act as the medieval period abound, starting with the stronghold of Hugh the Wolf. Even the shopping area is memorable with shops peddling their goods as early as the 13th century.

When you swing by the River Dee, you can explore the borough in its significant form with traditional boating trips along the river. The river passes through the heart of the place. Once you have explored the Dee on Chester, you can alight near the place wall and take walks around the medieval municipality. The center walls are the most intact wall structure in Britain. You can walk on the footpath atop these walls, and go around the metropolitan area to view its majesty. After touring the center walls, head to the best shopping outlets in Chester’s metropolitan area centre.

Mouth watering – a word that characterises the menu of Chester’s finest restaurants. Chester believes in the quality of their local produce. Here, you can pick fresh fruits and vegetables ready to serve in your plate. If that is not enough, you can wait out until the Chester Food and Drink festival, which is a party of 80 restaurant exhibitors bringing together the best of what Chester has to offer. Notable restaurants in Chester include the Blackhouse Grill, the Dene Hotel, and Katie’s Tea Rooms. The Watergate Street is the place to chill out and meet the friendly locals.

Chester has a spectacle of sports events and art exhibits that will fill up your day holiday in the center. For local football, you can watch the FC Chester in action. The football club plays in the Coca-Cola 2 league, a 4th-tier league in the English football scene. You can also watch the Chester Roman if you want a taste of American football. Chester also has a strong tradition of rugby, winning the Cheshire Cup a lot of times. Local pubs and bars have their TV sets pointed to the Chester Racecourse where you can bet on horse and dog races.

Chester has a little bit of everything, but it certainly has a lot of history and it shows. Wherever you go, the air in this metropolitan area is refreshing and alluring. From the dated walls to the newly manufactured edifices, Chester is a site for a perfect family holiday.
