Hello!

Both of your S5 images don't have good focus on anything that might let you evaluate sharpness (the bird image has the clouds in focus, and if handheld, the shutter speed is potentially too low for crisp images; there seems to be nothing really in focus in the shot of the man walking). Could be a problem with the lens, the body or your technique, getting used to a new system. Also, don't expect wonders from that lens wide open. That won't happen I am afraid.

I would suggest doing some boring controlled test shots (ideally sturdy support, non-moving target) to see if you can get your focus to where you want it. Also try manual focus to rule out AF malfunction.

The overall look can be fine-tuned to your likings through either in-camera settings or post-processing. You have a lot of latitude to play with in those files.

Best,

Alex

PS: I just noticed you went for the 12MP output - to me, it just isn't that... try the 6MP output as well
