Adrian, your resolution is fine. I blew up your photo 400% on the screen and hardly saw any pixles. The photos are fuzzy because of the lens. Everybody's so obsessed with how many MBytes and Mega-Pixels a camera has, but gives no thought about the cheap plastic lens in front of the camera.

It goes for film photography too. I've seem guys drop several grand for the top-of-line Nikon F5 or Canon 1n, only to shoot through a $150 lens. Kind of like playing a Walkman through a set of JML Utopias.

A couple of things to help you get cleaner photos are:
- Don't shoot handheld. Use a tripod or rest the camera on a solid surface.
- Only zoom in if you absolutely have to. Those cheap zoom lens are at its worst at maximum zoom.

Gar.
