A Photography trip yesterday with the below gear (M10 with EF 75-300)

I am not happy with IQ. I also would appreciate any suggestions to get better zoom quality with the same setup.

The first thing I'd suggest is to get out of Auto Mode.  That way you can select a single AF point and focus on exactly what you want.  Otherwise the focus will end up all over the place (as is evidenced in your samples).

It can also be very difficult to hold the camera steady when there is no viewfinder.  Even though most of your shutter speeds were pretty high, I think that camera shake was likely a factor too (esp without image stabilization).

Also, I'd test your lens at f/8 to see if sharpness improves.  There's always a battle between shutter speed and aperture!  See which one wins.

Lastly, I like the suggestion to check out the 55-250 IS STM.  You'll gain both sharpness and stabilization.  It's often found at a great discount at the Canon Refurb store.

Best of luck!
