[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 45058, member: 3903"] Looking at your pictures, I was wondering if you tried to apply sharpening to them? Raw files are soft naturally. Also sometimes, lack of selective contrast can be confused with lack of sharpness. In your second photo for example, if you were to play with the curves a little in Photoshop, you could get it to look sharper. I don't think you have a focus or movement problem in these. But, I think that you are using your lenses very close to their maximum f stop. You could try using iso a little higher and closing the lens to about between 8-11 to get maximum sharpness. But you will always have to sharpen in Photoshop. Do a google search on photoshop sharpening tutorials and it should get you the results you are looking for. I understand your point about these not being as sharp as a point and shoot, but remember that the point and shoot always apply sharpening in the camera processing. You can always go into your camera menu and put a little more sharpening to your jpegs and have a look at what you would get. Trial and error will get you there I'm sure. [/QUOTE]
