But the main problem of the camera: I noticed that repeatedly photos were totally blurred and this especially at 18mm focal length. I am of course aware that the zoom lenses do not get the best performance in this area at maximum aperture. But at several photos one can no longer speak of sharpness at all. After many test photos with a variety of settings (I have determined for 2 days tested), I then found out that only the photos that have been directly through the viewfinder (but with activated AF) made are concerned. Live View shooting (when the monitor screen) were actually quite useful. There another AF method is the Live View used (to contrast AF calls) than with viewfinder shooting (phase AF). The problem seems well to be independent of the above-mentioned objective. For I have initially suspected the problem on the lens, but with the Tamron 70-300 it was the same problem (also tried with different focal length settings). All comparison images were taken on tripod with remote release to exactly the same shutter speed and aperture Paramtern to obtain reproducible results. It really is 100% understandable that is focused blurred with viewfinder shooting.
Today I was at the said business and the seller of this problem could adjust even under adverse lighting conditions in the store. We have replaced the body, in the hope that there is a single problem. Before the business, I then shot (Live View and search receptacle) 2 Test Photos - same problem.
Is there perhaps a series problem with the cameras, which were delivered after the tsunami? I would be interested if other users also have this problem or previous models had already.
It's a shame I had already fallen in love with the camera, because actually it's really great. However, one so buys a reflex because of the bright viewfinder image, as one would like to do not only live view shooting and look at the monitor (especially as the focus speed is very slow), since this is going on the battery performance. For this reason I have returned them serious courage again and can forgive a maximum 3 stars. Were above problems do not exist, it would be of me 5 stars.
