I love my old sony a5000. But as I get my toes wetter with techniques and tutorials and editing, I often think it is not so great anyome.

Please see this: https://imgur.com/a/XPLLBmx This is the RAW file open in RawTherapee, with no processing applied beyond the camera specific distortion corrections.

It was a sunny day. I have my ISO set to auto. The picture is not blurry because of long exposure or anything, but it’s simply not clear and sharp. Granted, that’s a lot of zooming on the software editor, but shouldn’t it be sharper?

What am I doing wrong? Any advice would be appreciated!

    lol this crop is wild. There is no camera/lens combo that looks good this cropped in. I would call this the wrong lens for the job rather than poor camera performance. Even for pixel peeping don’t go past 100% zoom because no one will ever look that close

      Well, I’m not cropping, I’m just zooming in to look into the details.
