  and what was your shutter speed. seems to me it is blurry due the subjects movements, more than it is a camera issue.

  It had to be a relative high shutter speed as the aperture was around f/8?
Could there be something wrong with my camera? if so, what...or is it me? I use auto focus, so it cant be my eyes..

  Your sample pic is too small to really tell, but it looks like focus/sharpness are ok, but is a bit underexposed due to the shadows and backlighting. Fill flash could have helped.

Are you doing any post-processing, or simply printing the .jpg files straight from the Digital Rebel? The EOS digital SLRs by default do a lot less sharpening, color adjusting, etc. than do the compact digital cameras like the G2. The assumption is that a DSLR user is more likely to post process their images with more powerful software than can be done in-camera. Have you tried adjusting the Digital Rebel's processing parameters to do more aggressive in-camera sharpening, contrast, saturation?
