I also use a Kodak Easy Share digital camera. Mine is a simple 8.2 meg pixs 3x zoom. I'm not a camera guru by any stretch of the imagination, but I found it works great for what I need, which is basically close up shots for forum posting.

One thing I did discover was that when I got too close to the subject, even on the close up setting, I couldn't get things in focus, similar to your second shot of the engine compartment. By bringing the camera away from the subject and then using the zoom to bring the subject back to fill the frame before focusing, even the very closest pictures were crisp and sharp. If you run into that problem, experimenting between the camera to subject distance and using a suitable zoom setting may be the answer for you too.

Apart from that, I find this camera very simple and easy to use and, judging by your pictures, you do to.

Hope this helps... if you need it!

It helps definitely, thanks...Idk what went wrong with that pic it was clear at the camera and when It got here it went blurry, o well. I guess its bad there too lol.

Often when hand-holding the camera ~~ especially in macro mode ~~ the picture can turn out blurry due to the slightest instability - breathing, etc. Use a tripod ~~ particularly with the macro mode. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

And, as mentioned in the thread on photography, it helps to use the timer so you don't even have to touch the camera. That has made all the difference in my photography of still life subjects.

I used the tripod and timer both...something happened in between.

As far as the nomad the back is opened up and will eventually have speakers and amp( I think ). The wheels are Pegasus Torque Thrust usually around 8 bucks Other than that it will have a little more detail on the engine.
