LOL Thanks, mD!

I've used Picasa in the past to fix red eyes, and it works amazingly great with human eyes. I've always had trouble with animals though... I guess because they aren't really "red." I'm sure the new Panny has a red eye reduction setting... I just need to

Thanks for the compliments on my sister and the bovines.

Nice cow and cow girl.

Pushing the ISO to 800 and the larger apeture sure made a difference. The SD1100 pics were only at ISO 250. The exposure settings were more than 2 stops higher with your Lumix (ie. your SD1100 pics were 2 stops underexposed). That's the crap shoot of using Auto. I know it's not possible but it would have been interesting to compare pics at the same exposure.

While the PQ isn't an apples to apples comparision it certainly does show that the Auto mode is much better in the Lumix. But then, that's what you would expect considering the price and age difference between the two cameras.

My sister Melissa needs to take some pictures this weekend for a school project, so she took some shots with my new camera yesterday afternoon. The camera was set on AUTO when she took it. I still need to read the manual to really see what this camera can do, but I cannot imagine see how they could get any better!! Here are some of her pictures:
