Thanks for the test, I'll have a go at that over the weekend. Jon, With the in-camera sharpening on the 400D I didn't use, as with the 5Dmarkii I've only put it up one mark. Still using JPEG and having a go at RAW.

At first guess I thought it was camera shake, but after using a tripod I still got the same soft look. Then I tried using a lowish ISO but that didn't work, in the evenings I used the flash, and the images are all sharp again. I've used a small aperture and a large aperture. It seams that its...
