New to the world of photography

[manofwow]

hi guys

am too new to this really

i was thinking alot why the hell i depend on my mobile camera that is really limited in options and still the quality not good.

i just made a little search and bought today finePix av250 and a 16GB SDHC

i didnt use it yet only in the store to try it

so my questions are:

is it good for a beginner like me or ....

and is it really worth buying?

my last question is :

i noticed that this camera can record video in HD 720p but with maximum time 9min i think.

so does this depend on the digital camera type or not?

because i read that the only way to get a camera records depending on memory size only are camcoders is that right?

Thanks in advance
