[QUOTE="nickt, post: 652136, member: 4923"] I suppose a general layer of junk on the sensor could cause softness problems but that is unlikely that it would be that filthy. Dust on the sensor will usually make small slightly dark spots most visible at high apertures. Take a picture of the sky at f22 to see sensor dust. I don't care for AF-A mode. It sounds great in theory, but I would rather choose af-s or af-c myself. I would try some shots in af-s, single point. Be sure your menu A2 is set for focus priority. If the mode af-s or af-c is set for release priority, the camera could take an out of focus shot as the shutter will not wait for focus. Also try some shots focusing manually to see if you can do better than single point autofocus. Try auto focus in live view, that uses a different system for focus. You have given us way more information than the usual new member, it sound like you know what you are doing.:) You may have a real failure, but I don't know what it is other than the possibility of being too quick on the shutter button in release priority mode. You could tweak up sharpness in picture controls if you are shooting jpg. That second shot needs more help that sharpness. It does look like focus was wrong. [/QUOTE]
