Query: Focusing problems

Overall, this is a decent camera, but its problems focusing are an issue and so I would NOT recommend buying this camera. Before I start, let me state that I have read the directions and gone through all the settings in the camera. I've done my best to rule out the human error.The picture quality and colors look good, when they are in focus. However, any time that the light, inside or outside, is a bit tricky the camera cannot focus. As an example, I took 5 pictures of a lit christmas tree and all came out blurry. I took another 5 pictures using a Canon Powershot S500 and all of them were perfectly clear. I'll admit that this is a tricky item to focus on, but the Sony DCS-P73 has trouble focusing whenever there is glare. It has ruined a number of shots... easy shots.So, if you are buying a camera for point and shoot... this one isn't it. This camera is a - (cross your fingers for a clear picture) - and shoot camera.I hope this helps.
