Canon Digital Pocket Cameras

I have a Canon Powershot S51S. It used to take very good quality videos, now it takes crappy quality. Like, webcam quality if not worse. It still takes nice pictures, but why all of the sudden are the videos so crappy?

If you didn’t drop/damage it, did you perhaps accidentally change some settings (such as frame rate or resolution)?

I’d suggest carefully reading the manual, perhaps you can figure out what is going on.

My brother in law invited my husband and I to his class reunion as guests. After the invitation, he asked me if I would photograph the event for the reunion committee, knowing that I take good photos. They will hire me and pay me for memory cards or any other supplies I need. They asked me to make up an invoice. What should I charge per hour to do this job? I have a Canon digital camera with 8 megapixels, probably considered a pocket camera.

If you have a "pocket camera" aka a point and shoot then you really shouldn’t be charging anything to shoot the event. You’ll pretty much get the same results as someone else using the same kind of camera.

If you don’t have a DSLR or access to one then pass on this, please.
