Well, I am sorry that things are not working out as you would like with this camera.
One thing I have noticed is that my larger paintings do not photograph as crisply as my smaller ones. That may be something to consider and try out. Also, do you have a background up behind the painting? If not, then that mass of visual information can mess up the autofocus sometimes. Also, where are you shooting the paintings - indoors, outdoors and how are you lighting them?
I am wondering if it is just your camera, or if your standards for portfolio prints are higher than my own. Do you have a high-speed connection? If so, then I could send you one of my portfolio TIFs and you could print it out and compare. Let me know.
