It's a nice camera, digital with good quality... If so, what should I take photos of?? Where should I start? Any hints for beginning photographers?

Start by going to the bookstore or library and get a book on beginning photography. Learn what photography terms are and how camera controls work. Then read your camera manual to learn how YOUR camera works.
Study good images to see what makes them work. Learn to look and see things in terms of composition and lighting. You have a digital camera, take many pictures. Experiment to see how different lighting and perspective change an image. Do you like it better or not? Then take more pictures. People, pets, landscapes, closeups, flowers, kids, everything that interests you should be in front of your lens.
On-line resources are Kodak.com, www.betterphoto.com, www.photo.net, www.nyip.com.
I recommend a book, "Understanding Exposure", by Bryan Peterson. Also, Kodak has a great book on photography. Out of print now, and aimed toward film, but still can be found used, and the elements of creating a good photo are the same, whether you're using digital or film.
Have fun!

No, everyone knows good pictures can't be taken by anything costing less than $1,000. I have seen horrible photographers go out and buy Leica cameras and suddenly everything is artistically done and masterpieces of photographic art.
Anyone that tells you you can't take great pictures with anything other than an expensive camera is an idiot.
Check your local bookstores, camera stores and libraries for meeting notices of a local camera club. It wouldn't hurt to hit a few meetings. Read a couple of beginning photography books while you're out checking on camera clubs.
Take lots of pictures of everything! Then look at them carefully and decide which ones appeal to you and why. Make sure to make some prints also. A print really brings out the soul of a picture. Staring at a computer screen won't truly do justice to a fine picture.

That camera will be fine for beginning photography. Take pictures of everything to practice. If you camera is not an SLR camera than stick to still photos as action ones will be very difficult.
Your local community college may have photography classes to help you as well.

thats a decent quality camera for photography usage. as for what should u take pictures of, thats up to you. start with people in your family or the next trip your going on or some plants in your backyard. when i started photography i thought i was gonna be good at taking pictures of animals because i liked animals. though after trying different things now i realize i take much better nature photos and still life photos. just experiment for a while and youll get it. oh and some hints...when takin pictures out a window or through glass...never take it from directly on. this will cause the flash to come right back at u and make a huge shine in ur picture most tmies. try it from a side angle. learn ur different buttons and settings on ur camera and try em all out for what they are used for, too.
good luck!

If you are going to emlarge over and above an 8.5 x 11 then film is the better medium unless you buck up for the new Sony Alpha.... it's 10MP... with Macros out the wazoo.
