TPF Noob!
I`ve just sent a brand new S2 back for repair because I thought there was something wrong with the focusing.
They`ve sent it back saying it`s been tested and it`s OK and didn`t need repair.
I just wonder if there`s anyone else that thinks these cameras (or maybe all digital cameras?) are a bit strange when using zoom lenses set to their widest angle. I was seeing sharp images in the viewfinder, but when I brought the files up in photoshop they were focused on infinity with the foreground subject matter well out of focus at wider apertures.
Another friend of mine has said that there is a known issue about digital cameras and zoom lenses though the makers won`t admit it, and this is why there are now an increasing number of lenses specially formulated for digital cameras.
The lenses giving me trouble are a 19-35mm and a 28-200, but only on their 19 & 28 settings, if they are zoomed in at all they are fine.
