pictures look ok (same as mine)

I purchased an XT a year or more ago...
the consensus is pictures will look better with a snap and shoot camera vs the XT... however if your skilled and adjust the XT they will surpass the snap and shoot cameras. myself I still havent spent any time on the camera, what a waste... but thats how it is sometimes.

I'll try to find some links that will help you set up the options !
