Downloaded images not sharp

When I take pictures and play them back in the camera viewfinder they looks fine, crisp and sharp. When I go to download, print, or upload the images to Kodak Easy Share or similar site the images don't look as good.

EasyShare may be your problem. It's lousy software. What I recommend for file transfer and photo management is Picasa by Google. It's an awesome and free program.

Next thing I would do is reset the camera. This is a fairly easy procedure which involves either going into your setup menu and choosing "reset," holding down the menu key for 5 seconds, or, removing the batteries for a few minutes. It may be that the firmware loading got corrupted and the camera just needs to be "rebooted," which is something that turning it on/off won't accomplish. But after which, you should have the camera reset to factory default settings.

Another tip is to go to Canon's website and look for firmware updates. Download and install them.
