[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 383427, member: 13090"] You probably need to adjust the "Sharpness" setting on your D5200 for starters. For reasons unknown this setting, by default, is set bizarrely low and it's still there unless you've gone into the menus and changed the setting yourself. This one setting change will have a DRAMATIC effect on the sharpness of your JPG photos. To adjust this setting... Press the Menu button and go into the Shooting menu (camera icon) From here go into "Picture Control". You'll see several options here: Standard, Landscape, Vivid, etc. Each one of these "Picture Controls" has it's own set of sub-menus with settings you can modify. I suggest you use Standard here, but use what pleases you. Highlight "Standard" (or whatever other Picture Control you want to use) and then click right one time to enter the Settings menu. From this menu, drop down to "Sharpness" and bump it up from the default setting to "+7". (I *suggest* bumping "Saturation" +1 but that's a personal taste sort of thing.) Press "OK" to back out of the menus and you're done. [COLOR=#ffffff].....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
