Picture sharpness problems 10D

[HOMEYJAMES]

Has anyone had the following problem: 10D, 70-200IS, 200ISO
Subject 7 10 15 feet from the lens, sunny day, WB set for sun.
When shooting various nature shots using auto focus the picture looks in focus at the time of the shot. When I process the RAW images in the computer and zoom in on the focus point, the photo appears out of focus. The image is not sharp. I shot some test pictures and the same happened. This situation has just started after 9,000 pictures previously shot. Has anyone had such a situation happen? Is it possible to wear out a 10D? Any suggestions?

Can you post some examples? Failing that in Canon FVU, you can crank up the sharpness and then make it a TIFF and play around with it in PSE 2.0 or whatever image editing software. It is hard to say what is up. Generally I have found the RAW pics look like a pre negative and that isn't a problem, they just leave it to you to sort it.
Here is an example straight out of camera before tweeking:

Is it just me or are there aliasing errors on the bottom of the wing and on the tail in both shots? If so, is there a way to clean them up in PS or with some other software?

You know what I will ask a few more experienced people. I really don't know.

I didn't see anything unusual on the full images, though the "reduced" images are quite jagged.

Size is 1600x732, down from 3072x2048. It was a RAW pic to start.

Actually, I was referring to the tiny "500" images - its easy to forget to click on them to get the full intended image. I've done it a few times myself.

Tom W,
LOL! Did you see the problem aforementioned?

No, I didn't see any problem, though it may be something that wouldn't be noticed by me. I was trying to gently mention that somebody may have forgotten to click on the image, but I didn't want to ruffle any feathers (I do that often enough). ;)

I don't even remember to click on my own images sometimes.

Ok, that's cool, maybe someone else might see it. No worries.

Hi,

After shooting around 18K pictures on my 10 D I noticed that I got increasingly badly focused shots (grammar :oops: ) I sent the camera back into Canon and they tweaked the focus and it is pin sharp again. I do not know how many shots most folks are putting through their 10D's but I certainly plan to have mine serviced every 7k or so.

Cheers
