Sony is very conservative with sharpening these days, even the A700 people are doing this on, at least +1 on the sharpening.

The A350 seems to have contrast backed down on its JPEGS as well, only reason I mentioned to try it at all.

To each his own on IQ.

RGB is more accurate and less saturated on these new cameras than Adobe RGB (it was/is on the A200), which is why I recommended it this time.

If someone is going to print, I'd recommend that mode, of course. And in no way am I suggesting one set of settings that is perfect for this camera .

Otherwise, based on older past experiences, I would have suggested the opposite.

I don't see sharpening artifacts when the camera is set to +1 or +2 for jpeg sharpening, but maybe my loupe isn't big enough.
