Stylus 1020 - poor image quality (J. Archer - 9/20/08)

Although this camera came highly recommended by the professionals at the camera store where I shop, it's a big disappointment. The image quality simply is bad. A cheap Canon Powershot from several years ago, at 6MP, does a far, far better job than this (10 MP, even when saved in "FINE" mode). The display screen is touted as a highlight, and it is definitely good both indoors and outdoors. But I'm taking this one back (or junking it). It's not worth the effort to take pictures that have such poor resolution - and no, they cannot be improved in Photoshop.
