[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 145954, member: 13090"] What is it you're shooting that you're having a hard time getting sharp focus? There are a few different AF modes but if you're shooting with manual focus AND using that 18-200 at, or near, 200mm understand that greater focal length not only magnifies the image (the good) it also magnifies every tiny tremor of camera shake, vibration, shutter slap, etc. (the bad). As a general rule I don't like to see my shutter speed dropping much below 2x my focal length; meaning at 200mm I want to see a shutter speed of 1/400 or better. Can't always do that but it is a general rule of mine. A few example shots that are indicative of your issue would probably be helpful, as well a better idea of what you're shooting most often and how; meaning hand-held vs. tripod/monopod, typical shutter speed, ISO, etc. [/QUOTE]
