Hi,
I have just purchased a Nikon P510 as the reviews for it and sample pictures looked really good. This is my first Bridge camera, and (don't laugh) the old camera is a Fuji Finepix that is about 12 years old (2 MP max. and 3 x optical zoom).
I am really disappointed with the quality of the pictures I am taking outside on auto/landscape with sky and land in them. They are frequently overexposed and look pathetic compared to the old Finepix, which produced vivid, well-focused outside landscapes with or without sky, and even brilliant close-ups at only 1 mega pixels.
I am such a novice that I don't know how much of this is my fault, a wrong expectation or whether there is something wrong with the camera. I know that I can adjust the exposure, and there are many other controls that I could use, but should I need to?
I expect that I have a lot to learn, but I also don't want to be stuck with a faulty camera.
Thanks.
