Sorry I haven’t weighed in before now, and I’ve skimmed what the others have said and don’t think this has been suggested, but you might try getting some more light in your scene. Autofocus is going to struggle a bit more in dim lighting, so your focus could be thrown off. Double check your metering mode. If you’re in partial or spot metering…

Well, the resolution is better… but the focus is just a touch soft. Unless that, too, is an artifact of the resizing?

I really wouldn’t know why. Honestly I thought it was in focus judging on the lettering on the shot glass.

set your camera to the largest image size it has. set the quality to the finest setting it has. i.e. extra fine, super fine, etc. all will still be .jpg and easily manipulated later.

I wouldn’t bet on that.

The A560 has a nasty reputation for optical fringing and artifacting in compression according to the reading I was doing earlier (trying to…

Yep. Live and learn. I decided back in December that I hated losing good composition to low resolution, and now I shoot everything in Nikon’s RAW format – it gives me the most flexibility in saving an image that had poor lighting. It also eats about 8-9MB per image.

Fortunately, 2GB SD cards are pretty cheap these days (I’ve looked at 4GB cards,…

OK… I did some research. According to the specs, the A560 is capable of 7.1 megapixels, which would be scalable to the 16″x20″ image you want.

However, you have to shoot in “high” resolution to get there. The image that you’ve got on Flickr isn’t going to print at all well if you try to scale it that high.

Interesting light. Is the graininess an artifact of high ISO, or compression?

Ummm n00b here, artifact?
