I got a new camera at Costco a couple days ago. It was the cheapest one they had - a Fujifilm Finepix JX250. I think it works pretty good. It takes better closeups than my old camera:
The shutter speed is a little faster, the flash works at a farther range, and it's smaller so it fits in my pocket. The only thing that doesn't seem to be as good are the long-range landscape shots:
It doesn't seem like that small amount of polution from one ship could make everything so hazy. But there are three ships in, and they're all putting out a "small" amount of polution:
So maybe it's not that the camera doesn't take long-range landscape pictures very well. Maybe it's that the long-range landscape just doesn't look so good.
The camera works good at medium-range landscapes, like these pictures of mining ruins in Douglas, Alaska:

But that might be from the cruiseships.

This ruin is interesting. I think, with the columns, it looks rather like a Roman ruin.
Most ruins just look like this, and you can't tell what they used to be.
