My faithful Canon point n shoot
Tom's old Canon G2
Call me obsessed, but I had no idea photography was so difficult. It's hard to see much at this size and resolution, but I didn't get one good photo all afternoon. Maybe I should stick to the Wacom Tablet (below).

Terrible, terrible photos. You must give it up altogether. Just describe with words what you're seeing.
Every camera, especially digital, is different. I used to shoot with a Leica DLux, and liked it. Then I "upgraded" to the Canon G9 and am having trouble with it. So many bells and whistles. Did you record the settings you used with each photo?
Love those little cars.
Ooops forgot: I like the first photo.
your illustration is of course fabulous! top photo looks darn good. I have a phobia of all those camera settings.
Mari, you're funny. But my main problem was: in every shot, with every camera, the outside rows are not in focus. (That might not be evident at this size, which is 72 ppi, 400 x 300!!) Also, I'm shooting with "natural" light, which changes with each shot.
Stray, thanks. I know what you mean--though I have this feeling that the camera settings for me are kind of like CSS was to you--not exactly exciting to learn, but once you know it, it really helps you accomplish things you're interested in doing.
Oooh, I like the car design.
Isn't it funny how cameras and settings can make results so different?
Hi, Linda ... sorry for the difficult session on Tuesday. Did you try again today? I hope you did :)
Namo: Thanks. Yes!! It is shocking.
'tude: It was actually kind of fun, even though I didn't get a perfect result. (Naw, I probably won't get set up again until the weekend!)
It does seem as if your old Canon got the best color and detail, but the illustration knocks them all out of the water.
Linda, Wolf says that if the edges are a bit blurry, you need to stop down (use a higher number f-stop, that is) and you'll get a greater depth of field, which should eliminate the problem. Try it!
So good, so fuuny...
