The problem of *istD "softness" was disscussed here many times. Yes, you can
have much sharper results using RAW format and PSCS converter. However I was
talking about  JPEGs straight from the camera. People who *istDs is mainly
targeted to, will want just to shoot JPEGs and send them straitght to photo
lab for prints without having to do any "complicated" photo-operations on
the computer... Just a few will want to play with RAW and converters to
achieve sharp results like you. And JPEGs straight from *istD are often
quite soft and thus usually not suitable for good quality big enlargements
without any USMing.
