I just upgraded from the D5100 to the D7000 and I'm surprised that my photos look so soft. I've been using my 18-105 and my AF-S 50mm 1.4. I did just get it yesterday but I am concerned with focusing issues people have talked about on here. My camera store has had an awful time keeping the d7000...
