[QUOTE="crb999, post: 549948, member: 41742"] Thanks Charlie Hi Nick, Those are from a few hundred shots and I deliberately went for high shutter speeds to eliminate any shudder from me. Of course I can sharpen but I want crisp shots to work with not ones that need correction from the off! If this is the standard I should expect from the D5500 then I have made a serious mistake. The D1X was brilliant, the D2X was super brilliant and although I did not expect to exactly repeat those performances I did expect to do a lot better than this. I have taken shots, like that white wall with a single focus point, hoping to see somewhere on that picture, where the focus was crisp. But it isn't is it. None of it I quite right.. In that shot I allowed for a narrow depth of field but the focus is constant across it, which you might expect with that apature and speed. However, to your eye they are in focus so what is the ingredient I'm missing and mixing up with focus? Thanks for your insight and input but I'm still disturbed :-) Regards Chris [/QUOTE]
