Focus
Just been looking back (and back, and back, and back) over some of the pics I have posted here from the A200, and comparing them to the A57 that I have now...
I'm beginning to think, looking at the difference in the quality, that there really *was* something wrong with the A200. The images were all a lot softer, blurred and *not quite in focus* in spite of my best efforts...this is one of the reason...no...this is THE reason I stopped posting here. No matter what I did, no matter how much effort I put into trying to take a decent picture they came out mediocre. And yet with the A57 the shots are so much sharper...the *macro* style that I tried and failed so many times in the past are...okay, easy isn't the right word, but certainly achievable now.
That's...actually a little bit annoying. I've stayed pretty much away from photography for years because I though I was doing something wrong...

Sometimes it can be very hard to tell if something's not right if you have nothing to compare to. Glad you've got your mojo back properly now though!
