These were taken at dusk and actually look brighter than it was. The first four are at iso 400. The last 2 iso 200. They were taken using the Night Portrait scene. IMO, iso 200 is adequate for low light shots as long as you're willing to hold very still. The benefit will be less grainy shots. These aren't that great, but they're better than I expected.

Worst panoramic shot ever taken. Am I suppose to spin in place or walk in a line when I taken them?

i think and if im wrong i apologize

there is a big difference between your pixs and the pix myself and others posted

first look at the size

for some reason all my pictures look just like this as well
however if you resize it to the size that everybody has in the forums for their pix
it looks really good

it only looks this way when its fully blown up

You're not going to get DLSR-like pictures when fully blown up with these tiny sensors - at least not yet. The X is good enough for decent prints at 50-60% of the actual size (IMO). At 100% they will look very grainy like it with any other camera phone. Still 50% will produce a nice sized print. Also I believe in setting the ISO manually (200 should be good enough for most shots) and of course checking/cleaning the lens before every shot and holding as still as possible helps a lot as well. For low light shots, the Night Portrait scene seems to work well.

Okay whats the best way to re size it and to what size?

If you have Photoshop, great. If not, Microsoft Picture Manager works (this is part of Microsoft Office), Microsoft Paint works or you can download Paintshop Pro from download.com.

I'd reduce them to 50% or a little less of its size. For example my pics above measure 1200 x 900 or 1250 x 938 pixels.

I use Lightroom 3 for all my pics but a good free photo editing program is
Picasa 3: Free download from Google it lets you do all the basics and produces
good quality output. If you don't like the noise in your pics then I recommend
another free program called noiseware. The community edition download is here:
http://www.imagenomic.com/setup/20070213W/NoisewareCESetupXP2601.exe
between these 2 programs, you can really clean up the photos you take with the X.
Another thing is you should resize pics from the X by at least 50%, full size pics are
never going to look good from this or any other camera phone today.
