Thanks, @jamesstaddon. That’s a good idea; we’ll have to do a comparison!!
The camera is working fine…we were given the impression that the camera wouldn’t even turn on because it “needed a new battery”, so we didn’t even try to turn it on when we were checking it out at the shop. But it turned on at home and the battery has only just gone flat now!
The photos seem to be very low quality (such as when you try to wind up the brightness on the editor it goes very grainy or something!), although I do realize that it might be capable of doing higher quality but we don’t know how to change it yet! Also we don’t know how to easily download them. Do Canon cameras need a special downloading program? I use Play Memories Home for my Sony camera, and that wasn’t even recognizing the Canon.
I can’t really say how it is going, as we still don’t know how to change things such as the aperture and shutter speed! One thing, though, is that when I was taking photos on it the other day, they looked nice and bright through the viewfinder, but when viewed on the camera screen or computer monitor, they seemed to be darker, which was funny!
