    I like the last one. Is it really your X-mass shot from your window? If so, I have only one thing to say - "You lucky bastard!" (quotation from Monty Python's Life of Brian) :-)
    Good for you.

    However, I think that there is the same issue like with other compact cameras - focal point. I don't know if I can't see straight, but it looks that you didn't have 100% control of the point for autofocus. I don't know what shall I look at. I am talking mainly about the first picture. It just looks that camera had chosen something and focused on that point.

    Congratulations on your new toy :)

    You do need to watch the focus point though, gives the closer images a fuzziness when they aren't sharp on what might be considered the actual focal point of the image. Also worth having a think about what you're trying to capture, and playing with the settings to find out what puts that across best.

    You might want to go a bit easier on the inline images in the thread too, please? Or at least a dialup warning in the thread title. Thanking you muchly :)
