You have to realize the standards here are extremely high.
Personally the fundamental problem with SooC jpegs is that the camera is processing for some generic monitor as the target.
This also means that the jpeg will likely not look good in print, because it’s not optimized for your printer!
When I make a print, I make a completely different edit for each printer+paper type I want to print on. They will look different from something optimized for the screen.
Soon we will have to optimize for HDR monitors with huge color volume (90%+ of bt2020). These monitors already exist (qd-oled, and the incoming rgb led backlight tech) when this becomes mainstream jpegs may become redundant because they are only 8 bit. ...Show more →
Yes, no question that for top IQ you need to process the RAWs yourself.
I just think Sony bodies produce jpegs that are still better than what smartphones are capable of in most situations.
Or at least my relatives don't complain, when I share a quick album right after a family gathering .

Ouch! Is that really it
I think it is; yesterday a friends friend had a look at a couple of my, now old, prints and so i learned I have a good camera.
(...and maybe it's time to buy a new printer rather than lenses and such.)
EDIT: Now I think I have learned that Nikon is better yet...

I don't think it is necessary to process images yourslef. If you chose the keeper images and have someone better skilled in processing do that to your instructions, then that would result in top IQ.

A fair point, but I doubt photography enthusiasts do that...
