how to take GREAT photos

[agent784]

Back to the original subject. For those of us that are photographically challenged what is a good "idiot proof " camera?
Photos in the shop always come out like crap for me. I've tried making adjustments but nothing seems to help.

There almost isn't an idiot proof camera unfortunately. :( If you can take a great composition of a car, you can make it look just as good if not better than someone with a great camera. When it comes to photography, most photo issues can't be solved by throwing money at the problem. But if you do have some dough, I would invest in at least a Canon Rebel or Canon 50D or 60D to start out with if you are serious about doing pro-sumer photography. If you need one that's consumer and compact friendly I suggest the Canon G11. It also does hi-def video. Or if you have money to burn, get yourself a Canon 5D Mark II.
