Plus of course, the EF 28-135mm isn't the sharpest lens in the bag... whatever it's other merits may be.

True, and it's wide open at f/5.6 and slow at s/60. But the picture is still usable--just not at full resolution. Sharpen it up, add a little contrast, and crop it a bit, and you got a nice picture.

Whoops. That's a bit over-sharpened. But you get the idea.

Why does Canon leave the settings so that they need to be sharpened out of the box? It is kinda dissapointing to have to mess with pictures with a 1-5 thousand dollar camera! Just curious.

This is a very common question.. It's not a fault or deficiency of the camera.. It was by design.

The 10D was aimed partially at the pro market.. I guess it was expected that images would be subject to some sort of workflow. (This is what RAW is all about after all).. Post processing is generally the best time to apply all the desired effects.

Rather than being tied to the sharpening provided by the camera firmware, post processing allows you to use an assortment of sharpening techniques to different degrees.. (Sharpen, unsharp mask.. etc).

However, the soft image complaints from the snapshot crowd were noted and Canon increased the default sharpening in the Digital Rebel.. As a result less (if any) processing is required. See the link below..
