| I just upgraded my camera from an canon rebel to an new eos 10d. The only issue I am having is sometimes my photographs are a little soft on the focus. I did some research and it looks like that has been an issue with the 10d for some time now. Has anyone else had this problem and if so how to you work around it? |

| I haven't had the problem at all. It could be a lens issue though. |

My understanding is that the default parameters in the Drebel are different in terms of sharpness. The Drebel is set to a higher level of sharpness. 10D images can have a somewhat 'soft' appearance straight from the camera and do benefit greatly from USM in post-processing.

I agree, I have found that the pictures out of the digital rebel when set to default settings are substantially sharper than what comes out of the 10D with default settings. Hopefully this is what the problem is. There were focus issues on some of the early units but it was my understanding that this has mostly been fixed. Of course there is always the possibility that one slipped through the cracks and you got unlucky. I would try adjusting the sharpness and contrast settings on the 10D and see if that makes things better. If not, I would see about exchanging your 10D for a different one.

If parts of the image are not sharp, but others are sharp like you want, the issue is likely with the focusing system. If the images are 'soft' overall, it is probably a matter of settings.
FWIW, I prefer to sharpen images on the PC rather than applying a fixed setting in camera regardless of need.

I was initially dissapointed with the 10D for that very reason. However I now know that I drop the image into PS and unsharp mask, or use one of the sharpenning toolkits ( I use Photokit sharpenner ). Its now just part of my PS Workflow.
The images come up very very clean and sharp from a RAW image. |

Please post an example and be more specific about the circumstances under which you get the soft images, so that we may better assist you with troubleshooting :)
Thanks
