Sharp enough for a kit lens? Enough depth to DOF at f8?

Sorry for the delayed feedback to much of the great stuff you are contributing to helping me mess with my head! Here's a pic that typifies my challenge, accurately perceived or otherwise, with the kit lens - it just doesn't look that sharp at 100% to me. And as an aside, I would have expected a little more depth at f8?

Are my expectations totally out of whack here?

Thanks,

Paul

That looks out of focus or those leaves were moving and your shutter speed was too low. Try turning off OSS and taking a photo with manual focus on a good tripod at base ISO and fast shutter speed. If you don't have a tripod, then leave OSS on but take a flash photo of something and see if that's sharper.
