Try using a polarizer... here's a thread some results comparing polarizer and non-polarizer photos. It really will give the sky a true blue tinge, and will show clouds that disapper if the filter wasn't there.

https://my350z.com/forum/media-share/209948-using-a-polarizer-filter-for-a-point-and-shoot.html

BTW, the colors will be slightly more saturated, and the reflections will be muted. Check out and compare the pics.

Very nice pics.
I have two days to decide whether I keep my Nikon D50 and I am seriously considering going up to 8 mps like you.

I am thinking Canon 20 or 30 though. Your camera was rated best bang for the buck in many reviews I read. Nice choice!!

I need a little lesson on manual mode, I've tried to shoot some pics, and I'm getting lots of blurrr and no focus... I'm aware of the apperture priority and all that and I've gotten that side pretty figured, the iso.. I've read enough on that too, for some reason, I've tried it all on manual mode, and some shots look perfect, but I don't know what i'm doing to make them look so...

Post one of your blurry pics so we can see what might be wrong..

What I've usually seen that causes blur is that the photographer can't hold the camera steady enough at low shutter speeds.. set a faster shutter speed to eliminate blur.. if you like taking pics in the dark, get a tripod..

or if it's just low lighting out.. or indoors without flash, you can increase your ISO and/or open your aperature by selecting a lower f-stop value.. this will allow you to keep a faster shutter (to avoid blur).. These do have side affects on your photos too however.. increasing ISO means more noise.. lowering f-stop sometimes means less sharpness or even some unwanted depth of field.. and the quality of your equiment (lenses/CMOS sensor in camera) will really show in these instances..
