New Gadget Purchased; Fujifilm F10

Well, I just couldn't hold off my crazy desires to get this new Fujifilm F10 digital camera. I've found that it definitely takes pictures differently than my Fujifilm F810. I like the ease of use of this new camera but am uncertain as to the automatic photo shooting ability. My most recent photos have been taken with the F10 starting with my Las Vegas Volleyball Tournament Weekend photos from my website http://dowdyb.com.

So, it is my current synopsis that taking pics in manual mode will prove to yield better photos but time will tell. I found that maybe due to the lack of natural light the camera was automatically going into ISO 800 even when the flash was forced on. My very first pic from my Vegas Trip was of a friends team and the flash did not automatically come on due to its ability to go ISO 800. Other pics taken in the same gym I had manually forced the flash to come on and this initially seemed to make the scene too bright.

This weekend I will be taking a trip to Disneyland where I plan on taking more photos with the camera so we will see how those turn out.
