I suggest 2 points very important in using digital camera. 1. Make sure to hold camera very steady especially in low shutter speed. Bettter use a tripod if possible to make a clear picture. This really show big different. 2. Focusing is very important but it is hard to notce the focus is accurate or not until you view it on a big monitor. Take more pictures at one time so you can chose a better one. Thank you for looking into my comment.
