Posted elsewhere and I'm not getting much help so I thought I'd try here aswell because I'm attending a family reunion in the afternoon and I want to take good pics.
I used a Panasonic DMC-FZ20 before this one and my pics looked sharp and edges looked smooth and closeup pix looked awesome.
Take a look at this poor little duck.

Poor thing looks alright far away but look at the original file and it sucks. The duck isn't all nice and crisp nor very sharp. It's like blotchy. Most likely a setting I'm overlooking that I'm not used to. My other camera I'd just normally shoot in automatic mode. Sometimes I'd need to play with the other settings. This newer camera has more features that I'm still learning.
Let me know what you think I need to change with my settings.
EDIT: Couldn't make a link to the pic. The forum has some feature that I don't know how to use and reformatted my URL link to something weird so I just used the CODE thing.
