Hi Jack, Could you provide a link to som sort of comparison? That would be very nice. If you are on facebook, there is a group for darktable users that could be used.
I do not have problems with sharpness, defaults appears to work quite well for me, I sometimes use a highpass preset I created, sometimes the equalizer module, but mostly for extra sharpening with a mask. I'm shooting with a Canon EOS 7D.
