I know I have a couple non-camera limitations; skill, bad tripod, SR when handheld. But it still seems, when digging down a bit that I'm not getting the nice crispness I see in the images of other, such as the guy in the video you linked.
and yet, you are are judging this based on an image in a cideo that has already been downsidezed to under 1MP? here *absolutely no possible way* that the difference between his images and yours has anything whatsoever to do with the camera. In approximate order of importance, it is:
1. Technique
2. Technique
3. Tehcnique
4. Technique
5. Technique
6. Technique
7. Technique
8. Lens
9. Technique
10. Technique
Camera quality is somewhere around 78 or 79 on this list, and that's only if you are actually printing large enough to not be throwing away pixels as it is (larger than 8x10"). Otherwise, it is around 1324th.
