I have a Nikon S8200 and love it. I shoot my pics with the dim: 4608x3456. I get excellent results and I know I use up the SD card quicker that way, it's worth it. My question is: can I change the dim to say '600x450' without compromising the pic? I have done so with a few for experiments and they look ok. My plan is to always do this afterwards. It makes for easier uploading to email, movie maker and such. Anyone know enough about this?
One other quickie: I read about changing the white balance for certain filming. I cannot do this with this Nikon. Is this totally out of the question or is there a workaround?
Thanks for the help and input. Bg

Well I have now switched to Nikon S8200 a new gift. We will see what happens. I have been practicing today and tonight we go out and see what happens. Thanks for the input.

I listened to people who 'convinced'me Canon was better. I just received a new Nikon S8200. Sofar I am weraing it out trying all the stops and things. So far so good. I'll really test it tonight.

Well, conceding to defeat. Using a tripod and various settings for blur reduction, kids & pets, nighttime, etc, I didn't get very good results. A few pics are passable, but I can see unless absolutely frozen, I am not going to get what I want. No matter, I will focus (no pun intended) on daylight pics and go from there. Thanks to all for suggestions. However, I do hvae one other delemna. I shot a video which came out great, however, I positioned the camera portrait but the video shows as landscape. So how do I rotate a video? Pics are no problem, but I can't seem to find a way to do the video. UGH always something.

I acknowledge the suggestions and hints from all. I haven't been on the site since I've been out of town and getting thru this season. I am practicing with my Canon to try and get the best pics I can. I am going to put my 'practice' into real time tomorrow night (Wed) when we take a boat tour of lights. I think I may have found a way to get semi good pics while moving and at night. i'll find out Wed. I will definitely post my results. Thanks all.

The first two shots were the canon. And yes we were moving and it was night. I get it. The bridge shot was on a moving bus also but I guess daylight just does better. I appreciate the 'help' tho didn't need the sarcasam. I'm just trying to get the best shots I can under whatever the situation is. The canon is lighter and I really try to balance my hand to shoot. If I can just find a comparable "sports" feature, that's what I need. Just seeing if anyone deals with a good camera for that.

I love taking pictures. My panasonic lumix was wonderful. I wore it out. I bought a canon a2200 but the shots just don't work for me. No matter how I fix the settings I cannot get a good picture. Some are ok but when it matters most, I seem to miss out. I do a lot of pics while traveling. I shoot from the bus - movement. The lumix on sports was wonderful on freezing the shots. The canon doesn't do it it all/ I need a good recommendation for what would work best under this scenario. I want something that will last and not nickel and dime me in batteries (lumix 4 AA). Any ideas/suggestons. I appreciate it. here is a print or two of recent flops

I just love to take pictures. This one is a favorite. Taken on the St John's River from the River Romance Dinner boat.

I love taking pictures and have been for many years. Thank goodness for digital. I'd be inthe poor house by now. We travel quite a bit and I take lots of pics. In fact, I make DVD videos with music in movie maker and the travel club uses them on the bus trips. THey're always a hit. I hope to learn new and exciting tips and tricks to improve my work.
Here's one from our recent trip to Tenn. This was taken from the moving bus as we passed by. I do that a lot. I use a panasaonic Lumix DMC-LS75 on sports - for other pictures I use a Canon power shot A2200. Can;t get those action shots though so maybe there are tips for that.
