btw..does anyone know why the quality looks so diminished? the pics are okay on my com...but when i post em....

i tink the diminishing is because when u upload it...they tend to scale down a little on webshots......

some of the pictures dun look too sharp .... but i like the idea in the acs time one....

Ah Fellow ACSian...

For me when i use the A70, i turn off the AiAF... cos i find it quite irritating...

Other than that, i think the reciprocal rule is a bit off the the A70... cos its a bit small, its better to err on the side of caution and underexpose the pic by setting 1 or 2 stops in terms of your shutter value...

But thats just me... my hand holding technique cannot make it... must practise more...

Yep my 2cents worth
