Those are really bad pictures. But I think the camera is just fine.
Haha exactly. I can take my Nikon dslr, take crappy pics and say the camera is crap.
From some pics I've seen posted on other forums, the X can take very good pics - in the right hands. Just as good as the iFail 4.
Also you have to change the quality settings to 'maximum' in the software to be sure you're getting 8 mp first and foremost.
I'll be posting some of my own very soon.
