Looking for feedback and advice

[xtitox]

Hey everyone!! I am very new to photography and I am trying to build up my experience and skills in shooting and editing. I bought a cannon rebel T3 on ebay about 4 months ago and used it mainly to shoot family events and different things like that. During that time I have been in communication with some different people that were interested in me shooting some portraits of them. And what happens after I actually set up a shoot with someone?? My cannon takes a crap on me, so I was forced to get a camera of lesser quality. (FML). So I took what I had and bought a fujifim finepix s3200, because thats all I could afford at the time and I shot a young lady. Im looking for feedback on the photos that I took of her. It seems that I am not able to get my photos to have the same sharpness and clarity as I was able to with my cannon. Is there something that I could do with my camera that I have now, to make my photos better in appearance?? Please view them and all feedback will be appreciated.

Thank You!!

It'll be tough to match a P&S or bridge with the quality of an SLR, but I think most perceived sharpness in an image is more about light and how the photographer uses it than it is about equipment. As far as image quality goes, the 3 you've posted aren't bad at all.

Btw, I'm really not diggin' the shrub in front of her on #1.
I think #2 is the best shot.
#3 has some skin that's a bit overexposed and I think the white balance is a bit off, maybe a bit too yellow and/or green.

Did the T3 not have a warranty?
