Good photography has more to do with the photographer than it does with the camera.

Learn all you can about exposure, lighting, composition, etc, and even though it's not a DSLR you can take great pictures with it.

As Hawkeye says great pictures can be taken with any camera there are even famous iphone photographers. The only thing you need to know and understand is how your camera works.

That said expensive cameras are expensive for a reason they give a lot more flexibility more depth and more depth of field control.

what you need to think about is what is your budget to buy a camera with or what are you looking to shoot. I would choose a budget entry level DSLR over an wxpensive point and shoot anyday. You can get good cameras for less than $300

P.S I have removed your signature please refer to site rules

As The rules state signatures must be personal sites that are based around photoshop or photography. If I recall yours went to a food blog but cant remember

Anything else will be considered spam and you risk losing your account over it. If you are in doubt about what links might be included in your sign PM a staff member and ask.

Hello,
my guess is your camera takes a long time to focus. Auto focus is usually base on maximal contrast which is very hard to judge in low light situations. Does your camera have manual focus or can you just half push to pre focus before the snap and fully push when you want to take the picture ? BTW I do not think your camera reacts on force on the shutter, you can just damage it that way.
Hope it helps,
Peter

Hello,
I would probably prefer manufacturer which has support in my country, but that is just a remark.
I am not sure we understand each other, I will try to rewrite it so it cannot confuse, sorry if I was not clear. You wrote "can not take snap in mid light or night, when i going to take a snap then the camera takes long time to take snap". I think the reason is it takes a long time for the camera to focus. It is normal in this camera class, nothing broken. If you want to faster shutter reaction you can do two things but must not do one :
You can do :
1. Focus manually, camera does not have to look for focus and fires faster.
2. You can push the shutter button half way ( see your manual it is for sure described there ) to get focus and push fully ( fully but not with larger power, be gentle ) when you want to take the picture. Again camera does not have to look for focus and fires faster.
You must not do :
Push anything on camera hard, including shutter button. It does not help anything and can damage the camera.
Best regards,
Peter

Thanking you so much for your best instruction.
I am following your guideline and I getting results from it. My camera Works nice majority time but some times it do not works properly,
However, I want to ask a Question to you that is " If I press my Shutter Button Hard then is there any probability to destroy my Camera"?
Though i never do it.

Hello,
I do not think so, I would have to look at your camera manual, but I suppose the "Manual" mode you are talking about is the "M" as opposed to Tv, "P" and similar, which set up exposure ( aperture, shutter ). I was referring to manual focus, which means to pick your object, focus it manually, either by turning some ring on the lens or some setup on body, so it is sharp and does not focus automatically, since it is difficult for many cameras in low light situations.
Hope this helps,
Peter
