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!
Definitely a combination of lens, slow shutter speed and trying to crop a lot on a crop sensor. Definitely doesn’t have anything to do with the age of the camera. I’m still shooting on a 5DMk2 which is like 6 years older than the a5000 and those old cameras put out very sharp images. Iso 400 shouldn’t contribute much to the noise. I often have to use iso1600 and it’s not too bad.
