    I have this one .. .the cheapest Canon do ...


    Is this the one you got?

    Getting sharp photos with it has never been a problem for me. It's amazing considering the dollars.

    Maybe take a few photos for us to see?

    A closeup ... and landscape ... and maybe something in between like a garden or a car or something?

    Try some shots with Shutter priority at a shutter speed of at least 1/500 for us and lets see what happens then.
