I'm New! --A Few Questions

[PickledGeuse]

Hello All,

I'm a starter here. I don't know much about photography outside of having several crappy cameras in the past. Recently I bought a Sony Cybershot W-80. I think it's an alright camera but for some reason I'm not getting much clarity as I thought I would get. Also, should I switch from my Cybershot to the Canon SD1000? Any intro. pointers are appreciated! Thanks, in advance.

Before I forget, on my Sony W-80 there is a tiny blue dot on the LCD screen. Is this the equivalent of a dead pixel. It has yet to go away so must I assume that it is permanent? The Manual reads that it is perfectly normal, but it also says that small dots pop up on occasion. --I'm confused!

I've used the Canon Powershot SD 870 and really liked it. Check out the review here:
