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

I have previously owned a 20D and a few offerings from Nikon including a D200. I like the camera, looks great, some complain about the size for large hands but it is fine for me. Build quality is acceptable, its nice and light, battery life is pretty good. The preview screen is very good, very clear. The user interface is also quite good. My niggle is the images are a little fuzzy even at optimal settings. I would like to see more posts if anybody else has this trouble.

Problems:

I refer to Milutiche's comments about the images being unsharp when brought up close. I too have noticed this and wondered wether it is the kit lens or something to do with the noise reduction in camera. I shot test images in RAW in optimum quality settings and still found a kind of fuzzy image when looking close. I also manually focused to check if it was the AF. It doesnt particularly bother me, just a slight niggle. Maybe better lenses are the answer.
