I'm not using special kind of camera just a Canon PowerShot A530 and I was just wondering what you guys thought of these pictures. I am trying to get some money together to get a better camera but this is all i have for now. They probably aren't the best but I was just trying it and wanted to see what others thought.

You're right, they "probably aren't the best". I will be blunt. you have a pretty kitty, but every single shot you posted is a candidate for the delete button.
Your camera at this point far outpaces your skill. So don't worry about saving money for a better camera, it won't help you. Instead, get a book on beginning photography. Kodak has a good website for beginners as well. Look at good photos and pay attention to how they are lit and composed. Study light and how it changes throughout the day. Learn about composition. Learn what the settings are on the camera you have and how they affect your picture.
If you have a camera club in school, join. Take a class at the local community college. If you have a family member who takes good snaps, ask them to mentor you.
The Canon A530 is capable of capturing amazing images, but you, as the photographer, have to be in charge of the process.
Start learning and keep practicing and you will begin to see improvement. Good luck!

Make sure that if you are using auto white balance or you set for sunny.
Increase the contrast and color saturation by setting to manual mode and stopping down the exposure (set +1 to +2 a higher number) for a bit less light. On sunny days you may not get a good rendition of the final product on the LCD viewfinder, so don't rely on how it looks to you at the moment. Try several different aperature settings for the same shot. You might be surprised when you get it uploaded. Also you then have more to work with if you want to lighten later.

#9 was the best shot.
I suggest you get a photography how to book and a better camera. There is a graininess in the pics. My old camera did this after being dropped too many times.
Some of the best how to books would be photography for dummies or if they have one about cameras, which I'm sure they do. I know they have one for SLR's but that's probably not in most people's price rage. I would highly suggest you get both the photography and camera books. They will help you pick the right camera for you and teach you how to become a better photographer.
You really need to work on composition of your photos.
Hope this helps. Good Luck! ;)

There were so many problems, your camera isn't one of them. Take a photo class and join a photography club. You need some basic instruction in composition and technique. Once you've got the basics down club members can critique your photographs , telling you how to make them even better.

Were those your best? Didn't you have any good ones? Some of those were horrible! Others were just plain bad. There was one that was okay.
And a cat on a leash is.....wrong!
I have to agree with Bob. Don't waste a penny on another camera until you learn how to take pictures. Take a class.

I must agree with Bob.
In the future, please limit yourself to 3 or 4 photos for review. It simply takes too long to objectively look at 10 and after about 5 they all tend to blur together.

Don't waste your money on another camera until you learn how to use the one you now have. The camera is not your problem at this point.

A fancy camera does not make a good photographer. =D
Change your angle up a bit. Don't take pictures at eye level.

THEY look like photos of your cat. Cute cat. Try not to photograph ANYTHING where it will blind in with it's suroundings.

Nothing special. Flat and dull, the colors are washed out.
