What settings do you use? Do you always use the same or change between a few? Can you explain when/why you use such settings.
I've had mine at the settings below for quite awhile and like the results but am wondering if I can do better.
Contrast: +2
Sharpness: +2
Saturation: +2
Color Tone: +2
Thanks for your help.

I usually shoot raw so... 0, 0 , 0, 0. With this new camera I don't know the settings very well yet so I can't answer for jpeg. With the 300D I have I used it in parameter 1 almost exclusively.

From what I understand, shooting RAW and 0/0/0/0 are not the same - since these values are all relative, I believe this means that 0 is the "middle" amount of sharpening, whereas -2 would be the least and +2 would be the most. Therefore, shooting JPEG 0/0/0/0 still results in processing. Just a FYI for others, as I'm sure you mean that you shoot RAW.

I also shoot RAW all the time now, but when I shot JPEG, I set sharpening to the minimum, and contrast, saturation and tone to 0 (neutral). I did all my adjustments in post.

Thanks guys. I will have to play around with some of the other settings. I do think I should at least put the sharpening to -2.
Thanks again.

It is good to play around with the settings...when I use my budget lens I will kick up the sharpness for a particular lens.
Don't take this the wrong way but with the settings in the OP you are making your out of the camera shots basically the same as a point& shoot, which isn't a bad thing if you are looking for little to no post processing.
I find it easier to sharpen a softer picture than it is to Gaussian Blur an Out of Cam too sharp shot. It's just a preference thing...I guess.
