My general rule is to look at the histogram and try to elevaluate if any clipping is occurring and adjust the exposure compensation accordingly. I don't generally delete these images as I like look at the properly when I get home so I can the difference between them. Just like you I'm still learning !!!!

I do delete any images that look blurred, if they look bad on the camera screen they will look awful on the computer. I zoom in as much as possible and I try to look at the detail to make sure I'm happy with it.

You can turn on the "Blinkies" which show you over exposed parts of your image, and also you set up the camera to show you which autofocus points achieved focus during the shot. That way you can tell if you managed to get your main subject in focus or not.

Ed,
Yeah that's what i would look at(because on this day it was so bright i could barley see the photos on my screen.) Are you suggesting that i go through my pics on my camera, then just download the ones with the good histogram to my computer?

I would not do that, 'film' is cheap. I save everything. Just got a 1.5TB external drive for $100.
