Why do my photos not look sharp pic included....
DCM1024:
Prior to purchasing my 7d, I had used 40d, 5d2, xt and t2i without issue. The 7d has a more advanced af system which can cause issues if you haven't used it previously, and required more tweaking to get a satisfacory result. I did alot of research on message boards, uploaded images to canon and ultimately went from about 50% usable images to 85%+. I can give you a rundown of my adjustments if you want. I'm very happy with my 7d now. Good luck!

You are backlit in noonisgh light. Your picture will not come out well.

Thanks guys I took some shots today an they came out better, I did some quick tests with the af and I think its right.
I think my big problem is just camera shake my tripod head is crap, when I upped the shutter to 1/2000 it got sharper. You can see full size version at my flicker page http://www.flickr.com/photos/54773292@N07/
I still think my K5 is sharper but we will see as I take more with this combo.

Reading many 7D reviews and having used it myself, if you shoot jpeg, they will be soft. You have to set the sharpness to 2 or 3 in your picture style. If you shoot RAW then you're fine. I think you just had one bad shot. The rest of your photos are sharp. If only I could shoot such that I only ever had ONE bad shot :) :)

Your tripod isn't crap - 400mm just intensifies any shake. It's basic trigonometry.
