I took a lot of pictures, however, I'm REALLY disappointed with the quality of them. It's either that I suck at taking photo's, the S1 does poorly in low light, or a combination of both, so ANY advice would be helpful :)
For all of the shots, I used F2.8 (F3.1 on full zoom) and hovered between 1/25-1/100 shutter speed (I shouldn't have used 1/100 for any, far too dark).
Anyway, as you will see, most of my shots are extremely grainy, and blurry :( I could really use some help here guys :confused:
Is this just a fault of the S1 IS? I've been shooting my pictures on M2 (1600x1200, super-fine) should I have been shooting on L (2048x1536, super-fine), or does the pixel size not affect the end result of the pictures?
I know that this is only a 3.2MP camera, but I would have thought the shots should look better than this :(
Anyway, here are some shots from the Maritime Fall Fair, mostly of the Super Dogs.

Maybe I'm just expecting too much out of this camera (I thought it would have blown my previous camera, the A60, out of the water, but so far the only thing that has really impressed me is the 10x zoom and true movie mode).
Once again, any suggestions or advice is surely welcome :)
