OK, Actual Camera Questions

[DirtTime]

About 4 years ago I bought my fiancée a GE X500 Camera. Not the best, but it was she asked for.

She uses it, but not a lot, so I am thinking if taking it along on hiking and scouting trips to try and get some better pics then my cell phone provides.

I am currently looking up the functionality of the camera and what accessories I can get for it.

As I said, it's not the top of the line camera most on here have, but any advice would be appreciated.

What are you looking for? 

Some kind of tripod/mono pod is sure handy.  You'll save trouble with the Ms. if you have some way to keep it dry.  Filters??? Clueless here...........

Take plenty of batteries and film.

We have the tripod ( bought it when I bought the camera ), have rechargeable batteries ( need to get more ), and it's a digital camera ( no film ) with a 30 GIG card. Won't be taking it out in the rain.

I will have to learn the ins/outs of the camera, it has a few filters installed, I just have to learn what they do ( I know the night filter ( or WTFevr it's called stinks! ). I have the instructions somewhere ( lost in a box of other instructions for TV, Blu Ray Player, ETC... ) , but decided to look up what the capabilities are.

Just looking to see what the top photo posters have to say about how to deal with using a camera more or less like a gun or bow I was hunting with.
