[QUOTE="c0dy, post: 3946610, member: 11669"] I love photography, what a great thread! Yeah, if you have a DSLR camera (manually adjustable focus and zoom on the lens) you're likely to take sharper (not better, but sharper) pictures. That's not to say your camera is hopeless though, first step (as mentioned) make sure your camera is on the lowest ISO possible for the amount of light. If you have a tripod this is easier because as you lower the ISO your shutter has to stay open longer for the same exposure. Also make sure you have your resolution at the highest possible (to allow cropping) and on "fine" or "super fine" or whatever your camera's best is. I've taken some decent pictures with an A75 (although the detail the Rebel XT is able to capture makes it easier to adjust the picture to where you want it, I think learning with the A75 made me really learn how to adjust pictures, since there tend to be more flaws in the image quality). Something someone suggested was taking multiple pictures from the same area - I'll add to this by saying you can also practice "Bracketing".
