I just bought a Sony Cybershot DSC-W170 after hearing lots of good things but when I import the pictures to my computer the images are blurry and are only at 72dpi. I’ve taken pictures using all the different settings to test…Is there something I’m doing wrong?

    72dpi?

    Usually cameras go by pixels. I believe your camera is a 10.1 mp, I have a w100 8.1mp. The higher you make the pixels the clearer your pictures will come out and because of the pixel size it should up dpi. Never had this problem, you can email me in my profile if you want if you need more help since I can’t see the interface I don’t know if the menu system is different then mine.

    72 DPI is only print setting. You can’t raise or lower the DPI until you actually print the images out on paper.

    The most common cause of blur in pictures is camera shake. Try increasing the ISO speed, using the flash, or setting the camera down on something and using the 2-second timer.
