Re: Apple Picking with the SX40 HS

You've touched on a couple of things that I seem to find to be a slight problem with my SX40 as well.
Thanks for your samples.

0661--nothing seems in sharp focus here, yet nothing is blurry either. How does one get sharp focus in distant shots with lots of texture in them?
0676--same here, only in closer shots.

I really like the camera for the most part. But one of the few downsides to me is the poor quality of the EVF's resolution. Hard to tell if anything is in focus using it. True....you can set composition with it. But that's it. I always have to wait til I get home and preview on the computer to know/see how I really did with shots. It's usually pretty good. But I hate not knowing til iy might be, too late to reshoot.

I really like your pumpkin shot.
