NOTE: This is about the Canon Powershot A630, not the K10

Ive been looking at the pixel quality of some of these shots i did in DC. Some of them look bad at 100% i always have the camera shoot at a high level of sharpening.

Since i shoot to edit most of the time is it smarter to turn the sharpening down all the way or will this make the pixel quality worse after the camera makes a jpeg of the image?

In general, don't allow the camera to do the work for you. You can always sharpen more yourself after the fact.

leave it at the lowest (sharpening wise) usually does the trick. if you're using the image for web use, or small prints, it doesn't really make a difference after down-sizing.

edit for clarity

Well the other advantage for me is instead of 400-500 photos on a card itll be more like 1200-1600 shots.
