[QUOTE="Blurrymess, post: 45826, member: 9022"] No problem, Patrick. I never had any blurry issues, but then I found I could great affect the sharpness in the in camera sharpening, though I think it also has to do with shutter speed, how steady one holds the camera, lens... Regarding what some people experience with the D5100 vs the D40, I read someone else talk about how there are less MP in the D40, so less detail and less opportunity to blur, while the D5100 having a much larger MP count shows a lot more detail, and in turn has more opportunity to show blur due to smaller amounts of movement being captured. This is not a negative IMO, but it just means you need better technique as the camera requires you to be more steady at lower shutter speeds. I think that once people get to grips with why their camera is acting the way it does, and learns how to work with it, issues like sharpness... are not a concern. So, like you allude to, there's nothing "soft" about the D5100 (quite the opposite), one just needs to learn how to use it. Like your self, I'm still working my way through this camera, and having lots of fun doing it. [/QUOTE]
