Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
how to get good quality pics.

first place I'd go to is the Canon talk forum at DPreview.com and see what they have to say.
them people are pretty smart over there so I'm sure they can answer any/all of your questions.
as for my advice on getting good, quality pics?
1. try to read the manual as much as you can so you can be familiar with your camera's settings and features to take advantage of them both as much as possible.
2. get a decent tripod (usually $20 or so at Wally-World) to get nice, clear pics when doing low-light photography without the flash.
3. do be afraid of the camera. try all the different settings and see what they can do. other than physically dropping the camera, you cant/wont hurt it by trying out all the many things that that camera can do.
-hopefully my advice will be a decent starting point for ya.
good luck.

I've got the A70...I basically just tried out every setting to see which ones work best in different situations. Read the manual also, it explains what all the settings do.
Its hard to get a perfect picture on the first attempt. Often you have to take 3-4 pictures on different settings, in order to get a high quality print-ready picture...

i´d say: take a lot of pictures. and also experiment with the different settings. also try to use manual modes.
the better you know your camera, the better you can decide how to use it in different situations.
and then of course it depends on your talent and creativity how "good" the pictures will turn out to be

Yep I agree with most here. Shoot alot and, play with the settings. Also try keeping notes when you do shoot in various settings. How it came out or, any unexpected affects, while some may not work at one time, they may work another time. Either way just have fun with it.
www.photo.net is a good resource. It can be a little intimidating at first, but there are some really great people there and a lot of good information in both the forums and the article sections.
