Blurry? Is this camera blur-free for the most part?

Most of the time, photos taken by compact digicams will be either blurry or grainy (noisy), when using the AUTO setting and not using a tripod. To take good pics with my A630, I carry an Ultrapod II, use the camera in semi-automatic mode (Program AE), select the lowest ISO, and use a 2-second timer. If you need to take great pics without a tripod, you should consider a camera with Image Stabilization, like the Canon S3 IS, or, better yet, a pro camera (Digital SLR) with IS lens.

If you make sure to use the "Night Snapshot" mode and not the usual "Auto" mode, it's takes shots that are quite good. Also, I find that if you set the camera to "Manual" and have the ISO set to 200 and the +/- set to -2/3 with the colour setting on "Vivid" and the exposure set to "Center weighted", with a slightly steady hand, you can take good indoor shots without a flash.

I also have the A630 - I hate this camera! Close up photos are good, but zoom feature is useless - every photo I take with zoom on is blurry. It's a real bummer - took this camera to Bengals pre-season game last night and 90% of my photos of the players on the field turned out very blurry despite looking okay on the screen from close seats. Others have commented on the battery/card slot compartment and I agree that it's sloppy. I also think the menu and features are difficult to get used to.

The image is pretty good. I don't notice any bluriness, the only spot it loses detail is the very brightest part, because I adjusted the image settings to show more shadow detail. Zoomed in, sharp lines are just 2-3 pixels wide. Small details in the wall texture or tree trunks show just fine. At night it shows a good image under street lights, but note that it is not infrared or "night vision."

The camera is good. I've used it for instagram and posting to fb. Sometimes it looks grainy but need to make sure the settings are on the highest resolution/pixels possible.

Nope, mine actually look fine. You might not be waiting enough before you press the button down all the way. You're supposed to push the button down halfway, wait until the little square turns green and then press the button down all the way. One of the things that I actually really like about this camera is that I can take pictures even when moving and they don't turn out blurry. You just have to wait for that little green square.

Yes, it is. You can increase your ISO sensitivity with very little to no graining showing up compared to other cameras I have used.

I would say no. I have tried to take action shots with it and they always come out blurred. Very frustrating.

I find it almost impossible to take a picture without it without it coming out blurry. One of it assets is it's high power. That is also it's weakness and what makes the images blurry. It does have a tripod mount and I would think an inexpensive one would be very beneficial.

I have used the camera for about a year. When I first used it, the photos came out OK. Just recently, the photos taken appeared blurry even with still motion picture background. I am reducing my review by 1 star as a result.

because of low light situations, the camera has to use a longer shutter (meaning the lens is open longer for light to hit the sensor) time is suspended which causes the blurriness. Other factors might be camera shake from how u are holding it. Another might be due to the lens itself if u dropped it or some other defect. I recommend to try it with flash and see if it is still blurry.

I've found many of my photos are blurry with this camera. The last one i had, a Panasonic, did not do this. I also had to send this camera in for repairs and I've only had it for 6 months. So unfortunately i can't recommend this camera.

I have not actually not used this camera for a long time. I couldn't really tell you. I still have it & liked it just have not had reason to use it for some time now. I would actually need to play with it a bit now just to get used to it again myself. Sorry can't really help.

Okay M.I got my camera last night. I took a couple of pictures on my in to work this morning. I am going to post them after I make this post. I don't know what people are complaining about when they complain that the pictures are blurry. The pictures I took were extremely sharp. For the sample picture go the listed item. I will post more pictures by Sunday. Feel free to email me if you have any questions (superat06@gmail.com)Sean

Shutter lag isn't really a problem, but I would be concerned about the need for low ISO (200 max) unless you're shooting b&w;, in which case, it is simply a lovely camera.

Thanks for your response. So... Is there any difference in picture quality?

I don't use the camera often though it does take decent pictures for a device like this. The picture were not blurry unless I had a shaky hand but they did pixelate when I zoomed and wanted to use the image on my computer.
