Hi,

I've got my S3IS from September and I'm pleased with it, but I've got a problem with the sharpness. I shoot in manual and I've set the sharpness at High but I've got to raise it on computer afterwards. Does anybody know if that's normal? :confused:

Post a sample 100% crop. "Sharp enough" to you might be oversharpened to us. :)

Well, those aren't 100% crops so it doesn't say much. At web size you always have to sharpen anyway to bring back detail.

100% crop is when you view the image at full size, then take a chunk out of the image and show us that. It lets us see the image on a per-pixel basis but keeps the file size manageable on the web.

And no, you aren't the only person to have to sharpen. If you think that's unsharp you should see a dSLR's RAW file. They have zero sharpening applied at all until the photographer adds it. A lot of people think the images are junk when they first see one. :)
