now this is from the standard power on settings, it never used to take such useless photos, here is an older shot so clearly I changed something to improve matters, is there a website that will list good configs?

Even on a 10Mb connection those images were painfully slow to load!!

Looks to me like the indoor shots are suffering an awful lot while the outdoor ones are fine - which means you are having trouble in low light.

Telling it to use the flash when it needs to might help a bit (if it isnt doing it already) or putting it into low light / night mode (though this might then mean you need to use a tripod).

The noise present in the image shows its trying its best to expose correctly (by upping the ISO) so by increading the light it should help a lot.

yeah i know uploadit.org seems pony at the moment

what you just said there makes no sense to me

ill try reading the manual, never had a problem with didgital cameras before, whatever happened to point and shoot

whos the bird?

what DRZ is saying in simple terms is..

the camera needs more light... or a real steady hand and a longer shutter speed (i know it digital lol) so it can take everything in..

im no good with the techno jargon lol.. but i know what he is getting at

i have the same problem with my lil digi cam.. outside in the light its fine.. take it inside and its no good without a tripod..
