Is this pic too "soft" for your taste?

Don't compare your actual camera/lens to the Fuji, it's ten years apart, if I compare the attached pic with recent ones I would too think the old ones are "soft" but if I had to take the same pic now I would know that the lens I used, the 80-200/2.8, would feel soft on a short distance and probably also suffer focus breathing, I would use a better angle for light and probably try to catch a better focus on the eye (this was shot on a boat which is not really the steadiest...) but, most of all, would not compare apple to figs, they are both sweet but totally different.

I'd tell you to borrow a better lens off a friend and try to play with the camera's setup to find out which film mode are you using and so on but primary would pay attention to proper focus and glass, the S5Pro was and still is a very capable camera, people still debates the 6+6MP if they make a count of 12 or 8ish or whatever, true, the AA filter is very strong but you can't have it all, no AA filter means moire (at least back then when these cameras/sensors were produced) but it is by no strange mean that it was one of the most preferred cameras by wedding photographers and it could sure reveal lot of detail so, again, won't want to be offensive but I'd check your technique before giving it up.

hello giovanni thank you for your response. you was not offensive at all and i am happy for your advises. The problem is not that i compare this camera with the newers camera. but i believe that this camera can produce much better quality that i found on my pictures and i am wondering if i make a mistake or if is the lens quality etc. The photo taken by the old point and shoot canon of 5mp is sharp pleasing to the eye and you can see a lot of details. in the case of fuji i cant tell the same. of course i will try more and check if i make something mistake in my focus. also  a question about iso. in what settings i can use the iso so i can take noise free or little iso images? because even the daylight sometimes if i will use the long end of the lens 200mm to get a shutter speed up i have to raise the iso. what is your  suggestion?
