Anyone know anything about digital cameras?

I have a problem with my camera: everything looks great on the LCD, but when I plug it into my computer to view the pictures they look dull and not nearly as sharp. Is there any way I can fix this? Is it just a difference in thumbnail size?

That's the basic problem with digital cameras... I'm tellin' ya.

That's odd... I've always suffered the opposite: decent pictures on the computer, but it looks like underwater tetris on the LCD.

Well that's annoying. I can't make any good prints if it looks like crap on the computer. Photoshop can only do so much.

I have the same problem. What I do is put it on the Super High quality (or whatever your camera's equivalent is) and resize the photos when transferring them to the computer. Prolly not the answer you wanna hear.

What kind of camera do you use?

Olympus Stylus 710 7.1MP Ultra Slim Digital Camera

Mine's an SLR, that's why I'm surprised. I thought these things were suppose to be top quality as far as cameras go.

Which one is it?

Canon Digital Rebel XTi

A while back I notice that my friend got a Digital Rebel and I said that I'm gonna steal it 'cause it's so awesome. He said "why? It's not that great." I didn't ask him to elaborate but maybe that's what he was talking about.

Well its not that great I guess if you compare it to the higher end models like the Mark II, 5D, etc. but you can't get those for any less than $3,000 and even that's stretching it. <_<
