[QUOTE="Skribbles, post: 51362, member: 9214"] Thanks for the reply. Lighting is usually pretty good, outdoors and usually sunny, a couple of times has been overcast. I used to keep ISO as low as I could but lately have been using auto ISO (upper limit of 1600), and manual shutter (from around 160-800). I don't really plan on doing much to/with the photos, just would like to be able to get more consistent results (partly my own fault but I figure a better lens/faster focus would help). I do occasionally hold down the focus lock button, or just use manual focus and wait for the object to reach the right spot but while it can bring out some nice photos, it makes it a bit harder to be spontaneous about it and get those ones that really stand out (I'm just not that good). My father has a 55-200 VR lens which I might see if I could borrow for next time, I have used it a couple of times already (for other stuff) and it seems to be a much better feeling/built lens.
