I think some cameras oversharpen. The *ist-D seems just about right 
when set to maximum sharpness.  For those images where more sharpness 
is desired, the RAW converter in PhotoShop CS does a beautiful job, 
probably better than any in-camera software could do.

reviews (and some PDML'ers) seem to be complaining about.

shoot some ISO 50 print film and compare the results when processed in 
a
professional lab with your *istD results. be sure you are comparing 
prints
at the same sizes.

I need to make a withdrawal from the PDML wisdom bank, please.
I am getting the impression, that is is getting harder to get decent 
film
development these days. Is this true? I know my digital images are 
very
sharp due to the smaller format/better DOF. But I also know that film
images
can be extreemly sharp as well. But I'm getting bad films back from my
small
dealers lab these days.
Is this a common tendency?
