Agree with you there, jackitec.

Thanks all for taking the time to comment. I'm not sure how to display photos on here. Trust me though, the results I'm getting from the K7 are below the standard that I've got from both the K10D & K20D.
I haven't tried AF Micro Adjustment because I'm slightly worried about making things worse because it's not something I've done before.
mayday & jackitec, I feel your pain. I expected better. Makes me think of changing camera.

I have as an experiment just recently been using the camera with the SR On and Off to see if there is any difference. But whether off or on the images still apprear unsharp.Can I suggest you do an experiment by turning off the shake reduction?

I've been a Pentax DSLR user now for 3 years having owned the K10D, K20D and now a K7. I've been using my brand new K7 for about 2 months and the results have been unsatisfactory with the images appearing unsharp and with an almost slight out of focusness about them. The results from my previous cameras were definitely sharper in comparison. I shoot in RAW and I've tried different lenses with the K7 but with the same results (lack of sharpness). Not sure what the problem is or what to do about it. Can anyone advise?
