I usually have to raise the contrast and go through several types of editing before I get what many Canon cameras seem to do outright.
I have been a Nikon addict since the 35mm EM and have had a few Digital and DSLR Nikons, Actually it seems that the Nikon DX10 seemed to get sharper pics than the 5000.
I have looked this up online and have seen others complain about it but the fixes that are suggested don't make much difference. Any Ideas or am I doomed to sell my Nikon equipment and get the new Canon T3i?
I am not pleased with Nikon anymore and it seems that most people's reply is that I need to buy high end Nikon 2000.00 lenses or 1000.00 bodies to get the pics that a whole T3i kit does for under 1000. Any tips you guys????

Nikon let's you decide when setting up the camera and processing the look you want, whereas other brands use more sharpening, contrast and generally more saturation in their default mode. If you shoot only jpegs, set the camera up for more contast, saturation and sharpening than the default. If you shoot RAW, there is virtually no difference and the images should be nearly the same after processing. If you have done all that and they are still softer, then there is a problem with the camera and/or lens.
