How bad is my camera

[Hobbit]

Hello everyone, this is my first post/topic. I have always liked pictures. But I usually just take pictures of my friends/family and now I want to start taking pictures of random things. Is this camera any good for that? I just got it 2 weeks ago. Obviously I'm just starting, so I didn't want to spend $500 or even $1000 on a camera, since I don't know if this will become a hobby, or just something I sometimes do.

Hey, it's better than mine:

Note the date it was first made.

Can you show me some examples you have taken with that camera?

Actually I just got it yesterday. If I take some pics today I'll let you know.

I'm sure the camera works fine, I was just joking that my camera is older and has far fewer pixels than yours. I think that with some practice and trial-and-error you'll be able to take great shots.

Nice, now I just need to find some cool things to take pictures of.

OK, Hobbit, here's my "gallery". All except the last 4 (Mission, Golden Gate, the stairs, and the fence) were taken today with my camera using Auto mode. I'm sure they could be better, but I haven't gotten around to practicing with all the settings.
