Not only is the DOF paper thin, but there are only few lenses that are really sharp wide open. Regarding the shutter speed: 1/125s should be plenty for normal shooting, but if you look at a 36MP file at 100% you will still be able to see motion blur causes by the photographer, camera mirror slap an subject (the block of wood won't move that much but the foiliage will move with the wind). At long distances and on hot days you will even see the wavy refraction caused by the air. Corrected for image size, this will all be exactly the same with any other DSLR.Contrast and color need manual tweaking here.About the image at the parking lot (1/200s, f/9, ISO100, 50/1.8 lens, aperture priority mode, auto wb):Seems rather ok. It shows jagged aliasing in the Toyota's license plate, probably cause by the resizing or sharpening that you used. What problem does this image illustrate according to you?About the flowers (1/250s, f/2.5, ISO100, 50/1.8 lens, aperture priority mode, manual wb):A very high contrast backlit scene with an underexposed foreground and overexposed highlight. And a lens that shows vey ugly bokeh, not noise. Depth op field is too shallow to show the entire flower in focus. All problems with the scene, settings and lens. None of them is a camera problem. What problem does this image illustrate according to you?</blockquote>
