I have the rebel xti and my pictures are hit or miss. most of the time my close up pictures print out the best. I cannot pin point the problem with the other pictures. For example, pictures taken inside my house, of my daughters 3rd grade class, or of a group of people are terrible. They are grainy, and not clear. I have compared recent pictures from this summer taken at our pool using the xti digital and my old AE-1program canon film camera from 20 years ago and the pictures are night and day. The film camera produces vibrant pictures that pop. The colors from the blue tiles and the green grass are amazing. The xti digital pictures are dim, bland coloring and very grainy almost not recognizing faces of people. I have tried all the different settings to see if one works better than the other. I have also set the camera back to where the manufactures had set it a few times and nothing seems to improve the prints. I have also printed these photos at a variety of facilitys to see if that makes a difference. please help!!! jeanne
