My journey into photography (formerly "Newbie questions")

Hi. I am not familiar with the equipment you are talking about but from the pictures it looks to me like a depth of field problem. It appears that small parts of your pictures are in focus. To get more of your subject in focus (front to back - depth) you need to increase the depth of field or the f-stop (5.6 and higher should give you better results). I don't have any links but if you do a search for depth of field I bet you will find alot of helpful articles/tutorials with better explanations than mine.
A tripod will also help if you are shakey.
