[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 184997, member: 13090"] While I have not confirmed this myself, I believe some of the Nikon applications (e.g. ViewNX, CaptureNX) do interpret certain aspects of the camera settings profile even when displaying RAW files; so if Blurrymess is using one of those applications, that might explain the difference. In thinking about it, and considering that my upgrade path also went from D40 to D5100 to my current D7100, the D40 did turn out sharper photo's, at least at the outset. Once I tweaked my D5100 I was very happy with the output. But both camera's most definitely needed tweaking in the menus to achieve full potential. As I recall, the default "Sharpness" setting on all my Nikon cameras has been quite low; definitely in negative numbers. Whether changing those settings helps when shooting RAW or not I guess is debatable, but it certainly isn't *hurting* anything in my experience. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
