[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 156206, member: 9521"] That may be the bulk of your problems. With the additional resolution, any bad habits such as camera shake or over zealous shutter release pressing will be magnified in your images. Higher resolution is a two edged sword and requires photographers to readdress their photographic skills to match the higher quality of their camera. This was a huge problem when the D7000 came out and people who were used to shooting 6 mp images just fine had a tough time adjusting to the then "whopping" 16 mp's. The proof was shown clearly when these "fuzzy" photos were downsampled to the same level as the owners previous camera and they suddenly looked great. Try testing yourself. Put the camera on a sturdy tripod or sit it on a desk or something solid and then set the exposure delay as large as you can and take a couple shots making sure the subject is in focus.
