Canon EOS 500D (EOS Kiss Digital X3 / EOS Rebel T1i) review

guys and galls honoustly i "ve had Nikon for the last 15 yrs but now nikon does not offer a body with same specifications and dimensions so I traded my Nikon D40 for EOS 500D. Size and weight and operation and specs this camera is 5 stars but image quality out of the box I really struggle to get same results from 500D as I got from D40.
With everything default EOS is little soft little overexposed where D40 (yes) gave crisp sharp well exposed pics even with kit lens (see my pics in galllery)
I have to study and experiment , which is a lot of fun ,
with 500D to match my old D40 pics. I also have Tamron 10-24 EF mount which gives excellent results throughout

Problems:

default kit images (settings all standard)are a little soft
but futher this is 6 out of 5 stars
