Thank you very much everybody, aleonx3 I have tried with small and closer objects and the results are good, my problem is with landscapes and it would be my main kind of shot. I'm pretty sure rogerstg that my lack of knowledge and experience is a very important point but what I was trying here is to check with your help (and I feel really grateful for that) the maximum quality I can get for landscapes or at least to imagine it or to have an idea considering I still can improve my experience and knowledge. But the point is that, to be honest, I'm not sure if the maximum quality I could get will be amazing enough to worth the extra weight and space to carry all of this to the top of a mountain and the extra time inverted afterwards in post processing. At least for now.
Thank you very much anyway, I really appreciate all your advices,
Miguel

Hello,
Here I am again with the same spot. This time I think is under-exposed instead of over-exposed. I used a lens hood, tripod and I tried to find the settings you mentioned but I'm not sure to have found them properly. I tried also automatic landscape mode and automatic mode in the last two ones. For me is the same result. What do you think? Is there something else I can do? I'm considering selling it until I have money for a proper camera for landscapes because there's no point in carrying it for this result.
Thank you very much,
Miguel

Thank you, is there any option for that in lightroom? I was thinking as well in post processing but, first of all, I have no idea about post processing and secondly, I would like to get the best possible result originally from my camera.
Thanks a lot.

Same spot, speed increased, sunny day as well, similar results (for me). What do you think? I have tried the other lens (55-200) to see if there's any difference.
Thank you very much

But, I thought I should use a small aperture to get a big DOF and more space focused on landscape pictures. I thought I should use as high F as possible (then I received the advice to use F11 maximum). Won't i get just one part of the picture focused if I use smaller F?
Thank you.

Thank you all,
That's another example, with tripod, 2 seconds timer and all the tips you gave me (I know the picture itself is not very goog composed or interesting, just testing). It's with FS, AF 11 points... Another interesting thing is that when I select priority aperture with automatic expose they are always under-exposed so I always have to select manual and increase the exposition time. I think this one is a bit better sharped than the same example taken with my smartphone but still not good enough to carry a SLR camera, tripod, etc. (in my opinion and for my personal situation) I'm not sure if is just an stabilitation, focus and DOF problem or something else. If you have any other tip I'd feel really grateful.
Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for the answers. Mikesbike I have found finally the FS you told me and it takes much longer now to AF, I suppose that's a good thing. I will go for a hike this wednesday and try all this tips.
Thank you rawr as well for your test advices. Here you are the two options, with AF 24 and manual focus 25.
Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much for the answers.
I knew that to get a big DOF for landscapes I should have a big aperture but I understand of what you are saying that the limit for my K-x should be F11, right? I will try to do that even with a tripod to see if I can get better results and I'll show you but to be honest I don't have big hope to get better pictures than with a smartphone. I wonder if there's any other adjustment or option (I can't find that "Fine Sharpening" you mentioned mikesbike).
By the way, I'm really happy to be learning all this things, maybe just improving myself as a photographer can be useful to get better results. Perhaps is just a problem with landscapes because I would like to have everything clear and nice and that's more complicated than other pictures like this one I show here which looks quite sharp.
Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much for all the answers, I don't wear glasses and I am using autofocus, but I have also tried manual focus and all kind of focus adjustments.
Find attached four examples taken right now, same place, all of them ISO 400 and lens in 28mm (sigma 18-50). They are the jpg converted by the camera in best quality jpg mode.
IMGP2809: 1/125 F8.0
IMGP2811: 1/40 F18
IMGP2812: 1/20 F18
IMGP2814: 1/10 F29
Thank you very much!!

Hi everyone,
I suppose is a very common issue for beginners and there's a lot of information on the Internet, but I have read a lot about it and I still can't find a solution.
I got a second handed K-x N73 camera with two lenses 18-50 and 55-200, both Sigma. I was wondering if there is any way to find out why my pictures have not a good sharpness. I am not sure if is a problem with the camera, the lenses (would be extrange to have same problem in both lenses) or just me doing the shot wrong. But I have tried everything, every Internet tip, every way to shot, even bought filters and cleaning kits and my smartphone pictures still have better definition. So there's no point to carry my camera. I am very disappointed because I thought is a good camera and I like photography and would like to take good pictures with it but I am a mountain guide so my specialty will be landscapes and the sharpness is very important.
Thank you very much in advance for any help!
