Canon G10

Canon G9 (still holds its value on ebay and the likes),

Panasonic LX series,

Nikon P5000.

Most of these are backup grade point and shoots for a pro or serious amateur. Would suit your needs pretty well.

A few questions .... What do you mean by "crap photos"?

Why do you need 10mp?

Right , its like this . My sister has a Sony N2 10 MP digital touch screen . Brillaint camera .

This Sony T70 was bought on eBay in New York and cost € 350 including taxes duties etc .Its a small touchscreen easy to use camera , but not as good as our N2 .

Today we took 2 photos with each camera and compared them , but can see a huge difference in quality .

We expected this new Sony T70 to be at least as good a camera as our old Sony N2 .

Scores quite well in some reviews

Sure you haven't messed up the settings somehow? Seems like a capable enough camera.. in what ways is there a huge difference in quality?

Looks like you have the settings wrong. Just a little over exposed.

Reset your camera settings as follows :

1) Home
2)Settings - > Initialise
3) Confirm Restore default settings by pressing ok.

Hopefully this helps.

Thanks Majitripp,
We have now restored the camera to original settings .

Hopefully this might sort the problem , because surely this Sony T70 is capable of producing decent pictures.
