Please post any "eureka" moments in your research, Michelle and Michael. I'm trying to decipher the same issues in my digital reproduction attempts, and I'm thinking that the only way for me to make it happen is to be able to manually lock the camera's "autofocus".

In fact, I'm dying to post some recent paintings (had a great growth spurt in Peggy Baumgaertner's Sarasota workshop) from life sessions, but can't get an accurate reproduction to post.

Camera-shake is not the issue; like Michelle, I also set up the camera on a tripod, hang the painting on an outdoor fence in full sun, and use the camera's "auto-timer" feature (it doesn't accept a cable-release).

I'll shoot some 35mm slides and prints tomorrow for comparison's-sake.
