I gotta say that I'm quite happy with the pics, overall. Again, I'm not going to be taking pics to be entered into any contest or to be published in National Geographic, however these are certainly even clear and accurate in color enough to make it into one. The ones CaptainSS posted of the water, dogs, knives and watch are all quite impressive IMHO. Perhaps the one that is most impressive to me is the water, second would be the knives and the dust. The pens and pads shot is a bit underexposed... Didn't use flash there, but perhaps could have benefited from spot focus and lighting using your finger.
The one Garemlin posted of the laser pointer/pen/portable pinpoint oil thingy (not sure what it is, but seems like a combination of all three), is also highly detailed and color-accurate. The tree is looking really nice as well. The one of your cat, though...face out of focus a bit. It seems it focused on the front edge of the towel in the basket instead, so just a bit short of the cat's face.
Websterzx10r1's Santa pic is genuinely impressive as well. The height of that pic (and the tree) are both a big surprise. This pic could certainly have used some additional lighting as it's also a bit underexposed, however the colors and clarity still look good.
The one 94lt1 posted of the night shot is also impressive. Hey, is that light from a spotlight or is that the dual flash????
What we all have to remember here is that these shots while we're looking at them on the pc, are considerably lower resolution than the originals, and since they're compressed as JPGs, there is a good bit of data tossed for the purpose of file size. I'd really like to see the originals. Also, are we all shooting at the full 21MP or are some at the 16MP 4/3 (CaptainSS, 94lt1)??
