your taking an extremally small portion of the full frame and enlarging to 100% of course it will look terrible. There is simply not enough pixels in the crop to produce a sharp image.
I bet if you took a 100% crop of a shot like that cat it would still be sharp.
Distance from subject the effects sharpness of the enlarged portion here is an example
This is full frame taken from about 3 metres away
crop
Now tell me that is not sharp
Distance effects sharpness maybe they need to teach that in photography courses.
I don\'t claim to be the smartest photog on here I\'ll leave that title to the tech geeks talking about pixel pitch and gapless pixels and all that other stuff I call rubbish. What I have is real world experience shooting, for years it was on a daily basis.
Too many people post, is my lens sharp does it front focus or back focus etc.
99% of peoples problems with cameras other than the MkIII owners issues are pilot error. But because the world trend is \"its not my fault I am useless it must be the gear\".
No poorly focused photo is ever the photographers fault. I bought a 10K camera it must be faulty. Couldn\'t be the user now could it?
