EOS 2000D Blurry pictures as compared to my old Samsung Galaxy S9 phone

I just got the entry level 2000D in preparation for taking a photography class. I gave it a test drive. I see that the pictures are blurry and fuzzy compared to old phone, which has half the pixels. Is this normal? or do I have a defective camera?

Hi Valentin. If you are setting all three settings manually you need to look at the exposure meter. Trevor’s settings won’t be appropriate if the light kevel isn’t the same. 

l’ve provided all the advice I can, so I am going to refrain from more posts. It seems I’m just clogging the thread.

Thank you John and Trevor. I consider the issue resolved. Here are my take aways:

1. The issue is not with my camera or lens. My friend's camera does the same thing.
2. The Landscape mode is not very good. I can take better pictures using the AV and single point focus, as you guys thought me.
3. At low light the pictures are still not very clear. The only way to fix that is to get a better lens.

I will keep the camera for now and take the class. Maybe later I buy a better lens later.

#3 No. the solution is to HOLD STILL. Even if it means a tripod and mirror lock up.

See the list I provided again regarding low-light photography.  Getting a better lens isn't the only solution.
