Why no sharp images (a77)?

Feb 11, 2012

I have been disapointed in the sharpness of my a77 with any lens I have. To illustrate, I took the (cropped) image below with my a77 and 16-50 lens. Although this was handheld, I thought 1/60 should be OK. Lens was set to infinity, other parameters are shown.

Is it me, my camera, or am I expecting to much?
