I bought my TG-2 brand new from Amazon through the "Carolinas" seller. It shipped with a European wall charger to my US address and now I'm having the same issue you're describing. Anytime I have it in iAUTO mode, about 40% of my pictures are completely unusable. Happens to me more outdoors in broad daylight than any other time. I would agree with the F2.0/F2.8 trend. I'm planning to return it for something else - no point in having a waterproof camera if it doesn't take reliable photos.

I suspect it's just a setting that needs adjustment. Rather than reacting as you've indicated, perhaps a quick call or e-mail to the folks at Olympus would be more appropriate? The TG-2 is an extraordinary P&S camera, it would be a shame to get rid of a camera simply because of a misunderstanding ...
