Given the relatively little control availible in-camera, photoshop is probably the way to go if you've got it. You can always undo if you don't like the result, which you can't if you are sharpening in-camera. Note that for years I have used a fairly subtle unsharp mask on EVERY image I scanned except the ones from really grainy negs. It is apparently standard procedure to compensate for the loss in sharpness produced by scanning. These days I'm shooting digital and only unsharping if the picture seems to need a little help. I have a bank on my D1H set to low sharpening and 3200 film speed for night games since you don't really want to sharpen the noise if you can help it--the *istD should allow the same thing with the "3 users" thing.
