I have just viewed holiday pictures of 2 aquaintances; one of them used a Canon 550D with kit lens and an iphone 7.

About 40% of the pictures taken with the 550D were not sharp, visibly not sharp viewed on a 16 inch screen, terrible at 100%. This is not a focus problem, because nothing was sharp. And it is probably not a problem of hand shake, because the pictures were taken in broad daylight at around 1/1000s; also the phone produced better results in many cases.

Any explanations? Peter

Can’t tell for sure without more info (or better yet some samples w/ EXIF).  Can they forward some?

TIA,
