That they do! I used them before my move to DSLR when the Nikon D70 came out in 2004.

I had a Fuju S602z and an S7000 - I was very happy with both.

Took it back to the shop and got a refund, I couldn't get on with it to be honest, probably me and not the camera but even just on basic Auto mode I was getting pretty poor results so it's back to me Kodak Easyshare cam!!!

Greetings from Shipley.
Your new camera? I have four digital cameras and find that all are OK used within limitations.

My old Fuji is only 2MP but is great for doing table top shots and general outdoor shooting.

My workhorse is a Canon G5 with broken flash and viewfinder but I make full use of it most of the time.

My big MP camera is a Kodak Easyshare which was a recent Christmas present from 2MP to 8MP which is enough for most projects. The Kodak is cheap but reliable and very easy to use.

All pictures can be improved by anyone really?
Try to do basic editing when you take the shot. ie; framing,lighting,support.There is no disgrace in using a good tripod with a camera, be it cheap, or the all bells ringing models.

But, if you take a bad shot to start with,then delete it and do it again.
Some poor shots can be enhanced by applying artistic applications from your photo editing software. I use Adobe Premier 8.
Good luck with camera.
Regards,
Gerry

Hello Gerry, welcome to WAB

If you read my post above you will see that I have taken it back to the shop, I will stick with my Kodak Easyshare for now.

Thanks Stewy.

I am new to this site.

I seem to buck up a little when spring arrives. I walk mostly and usually trawl for pictures within 2 or 3 mile radius of home. A lot depends on my old dog Spice who now tends to tire quickly. She is 15 years old.
