Those pics are REALLY bad. My 6 year old piece of junk HP digital camea takes far superior pics than that

If I had to guess, reduce ISO by a whole lot. Are you on automatic or manual mode?

Automatic mode at the moment, any tips would be appreciated.

You just got owned by terrible photography.

Try holding the camera still while taking pictures, and definately try resizing them (they'll look a lot better).

And yes, reduce the ISO please.

Yikes - if that's the automatic mode on the camera, that just about makes me never want to buy a P&S Pentax digital camera. They look like camera phone photos, only at high resolution.

Autofocus should be automatic - especially in automatic mode. On most digital cameras, you can hold the shutter button down half-way and it'll focus and you'll see the result in the LCD.

The most recent picture looks much better.
