From what I have discovered I cannot understand people complaining about unsharp jpegs out of camera. That is the BEST option. Controlled sharpness to suit the image, applied as the last step, in post processing is the best way to go.

Don the jpg was very unsharp more so than the raw, that was a bit of a surprise because they say the raw files are, as is, nothing added. I expected both images to have been the same as far as sharpness was concerned as I have all in camera setting off.
