I have this problem that has been plaguing me for the past couple of years, and have come to the conclusion that the solution is to buy a different camera. I'm not anywhere close to a professional here, and I don't really know all the technicalities of photography, but if you put a fancy camera in front of me I can figure out how to take nice pictures with it. So here's my problem. I might take beautiful pictures with my camera, but when I hand it off to someone else every picture comes out terrible. And I don't mean that the person cuts off the building in the background or angles the frame to one side, I mean it's blurry, or just downright crappy looking. Usually, if I know I'm about to hand a camera off I'll put it on the sport setting to help with the blurriness, but there are times when this can't happen. For instance, I just graduated from college, and I have some really nice shots of my friends, but all the ones that I'm in are blurry. (Thankfully, we also took pictures with my phone, but I don't want to use my phone all the time for pictures!)
I don't have anything all that difficult to use, they're just point and shoot cameras. It's pretty simple, you push the button and it takes a picture. I do have other cameras that don't seem to have this problem when someone else uses it, but those cameras are much older and don't take as nice of pictures to begin with.
In August I'm leaving to do the Disney College Program, and I really just want to get a good camera that my friends will be able to use if I want to be in pictures. I'm not sure what kind of camera this would be though. I will probably order it off Amazon because I have a few gift cards for there, but basically I need a camera that will take good pictures and not turn them into a blurred mess if someone other than me uses it.
Anyone have any ideas? After having this problem throughout college, I need to figure out a way to get good pictures with myself in them. Especially when it's myself and one other person, it's incredibly frustrating to take non-blurry pictures of a friend, but then all the ones of me are blurred.
