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:

It's kind of hazy.
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.

Okay, the camera stopped working halfway through my family's vacation. I returned it to Costco (Yay for Costco) and was wondering whether I should get the same kind again. But, when I went to the camera section, they no longer had this model in stock, so now have a different camera. Probably just a fluke with that one camera.
The one thing the Finepix JX250 did not do well (before it stopped working) was take indoor photos. It did not correct the color for flourescent lighting, and the pictures came out really yellow and with poor focus. Other than that, I liked the camera before it stopped working.
