I do get a lot of shake. I noticed some settings have it more than others. So I thought anyway. Then suddenly settings I knew took the pic almost instantly were lagging too. But I learned early on with digicams that you have to be patient while capturing. I am always quick to whip it around, only to show a motion blur... oops. "Everyone line up again, that one din't work out." Hahaha

Also lighting, white balance. Like every pic I take I have to go change a few things and take like 3 pics before I get one I like. Without blur.

My eyes aren't well, and if they were I doubt I would notice. But that is sort of why I made this thread. I wanted to see from a professionals standpoint if this camera was as bad as the review made it to be. The pics in this post are certainly the best it has taken so far. Sometimes it's not the camera as much as it is the photographer. Plus, if all I can get for critique on GFY is for some barely visible blue "halos" then that is not bad at all for a $150 cam.

I am in no way trying to take professional photos here. So that means it's most likely better than the review makes it. It would almost have to be, because the guy pretty much made me feel stupid for buying it. I cried for hours, my girl has been calling me a "loser" for picking it out. I wanted to go with CyberShot originally. Then when we decided on Nikon my guy instinct kicked in and I went for te higher end model (between the L20 and S220). Though overall performance it was in 3 of 5 a lot. But not 1 or 2. Kodak easyshare had a 5 rating on almostall graphs.
