[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 74143, member: 9521"] The D7000 requires a slightly different skill set than does cameras of lower resolution. There have been cases where the camera is to blame but more often than not it turns out to be a user based error. The AF requires a good contrast in order to achieve proper focusing so if you're aiming at a solid single color the chances are you'll have a soft image. Try to aim the AF square at something with good contrast and you'll get a much better focused image. In addition, the added resolution can also expose minor flaws in your lenses that you would not have picked up with a lower resolution camera. Adjusting your AF fine tuning is essential if you're looking to get razor sharp images. Take the time to use the focus charts to insure you're lens and camera are both on the same page.
