You might also want to buy an AC adapter if your camera doesn't come with one. Low-cost cameras aren't for everyone. So don't try to stretch your camera's capabilities. Get as much of your subject and as little unnecessary background as possible. That means getting as close to the subject as the camera permits and cropping out anything in the background that isn't essential to the photo you want to take.
Image size matters.
As you examine the resized image, be sure to keep your eyes open for any loss of important detail. Twice is nice. Strive for speed. JPEG is the preferred photo file format for the Web. We generally like 35K to 40K JPEG files, a size that balances good image quality with quick downloads, even at 28.8 K. Don't enlarge your images.
