I wasn't discussing my own tests, just the Digital pictures websites 100 percent iSO crops. They just looked soft to me at all Fstops on the 60d and 50d with efs lenses. All the FF images looked very sharp.

When you are looking at 100% crops of a high rez camera you are looking at a much smaller part of the picture so it might look softer. If you view at output size it will be fine.

Solution? Don't pixel peep.

That is like saying put your head in the sand. Why even buy good glass if it is all going to perform near the same at any fstop, meaning soft. From my observation, the FF 100 percent ISOs are crystal clear with EF lenses. Some of the L glass even wide open. Regardless if you print huge or just big, the FF camera is superior image and gets detail that the 7d and 60d will never get at any f stop. This also tells me crop sensor cameras are not the cameras for landscape photographers.

Being "fine" was not the point, I was mentioning the softness, I have heard other complain of the softness and now I understand why. All the more reason to move to FF. I agree if you print 5x7 it won't make any difference but I print larger than that and even have a 13x19 printer. I had always known about defraction, just did not how much it effects the images. I think if you crop half the image away and print on large paper, the 7d will not hold up, but I bet a FF camera will. Guess I will have to buy one to find out.
