New LX7 not sharp enough, what am I doing wrong??

Erik:  I'm not a big fan of the latest Panasonic in-camera JPEG processing engine.  I use Std setting with everything set to zero, typically with about -0.7 exposure compensation, and then shoot RAW and do the process in iPhoto or Aperture on my Mac Mini.  I find the camera plenty sharp for my typical subject matter - but haven't done any landscape shooting similar to your photos yet.  I'd stick with what you're comfortable with for your  upcoming trip, or whatever the project is...
