If you're wanting to take clear, sharp, photos, look into getting an SB-600 flash. That thing solved all of my indoor shots problems. Used to use a D60 + 18-55mm VR + SB-600. That thing made such sharp photos. Could have been better had I been using a 50mm f/1.8.
For outdoor, in the daylight, I would find it impossible to produce blurry photos unless you're shooting at a tiny aperture like f/22. I just keep my aperture around the f/2.8-f/8 range no matter the situation or environment.

It depends.
I dont use S a lot, simply because A often solves the problem for me.
At first I use M at all times, but I found that would make me "miss" many of the shots that I want.. thus I use A a lot more now.
Oh, the pre-set settings are pretty useful too I found. I used the "sports" and "landscape" and they are pretty close to the setting I'd want if I were in M. (usually anyway).
(PS. i use Canon, but they're the same)
