Any Photographers? I Need Help

Help. Here's the deal. Photography used to be one of my passions. (I'm easily addicted to many passions :) ) I had the neatest darkroom. It had the correct ventilation, the big photo sink, shelves galore, drying lines, and all the tools.

Then along came digital. da da da da ta dum. Drumroll. I scarcely know the basics on a computer. Then add learning all the buttons on a digital camera and putting that into the computer is beyond my scope or most times, even my caring. But I love blogging and there are just certain things you absolutely have to know.

In the dinosaur days of photography, I had 2 Leicas. My black and white's would give Robert Doisneau a run for his money. No, that's an exaggeration but they were so clear and crisp that you could melt into a photo. Now, I'm reduced to a a smudgy little Sony cybershot ........ because it was easy to learn. Look at the photos I posted yesterday. They're lousy.

My question to you...... any suggestions for a good digital photo camera (that's fairly easy or I'm afraid it will go to dust with the Leicas) that will be compatible with a Mac computer. Everyone's photos always look so exqusite. It appears like you are all professionals. I was learning videos and movies, too. I bought a Canon camcorder that sits on the shelf with the Leicas. Help. I'm tearing my hair out.
