Hi everyone,

Thanks for the feedback. I also think the camera shake thing is a crock as it doesn't make sense to me. I've never had an issue with camera shake on any of my bodies previously so I don't know why I'd get it now.

I had a closer look at the image, and why the focus point was exactly over my grandfathers face it was zoomed to 200mm and 1/200s so I'm just going to assume that I should have used a faster shutter speed (as this has no IS)

As for AFMA I haven't made any, I don't have the gear required to do so.

Also, the only reason I got the 5Ds was I recently bought a 5D MK III and had to return 2 of them as the mirror kept getting little "pings" in it from smacking something inside the camera, and the mirror slap sound also sometimes sounded like a "ting" so I knew it wasn't right. The store sent them back to Canon but couldn't get any more in for a few weeks so they made me an offer on paying a little more to upgrade to a 5Ds so I figured it's a newer camera with higher res so it'd be good for blowing up landscapes etc so I decided to upgrade. I'm not a pixel peeper as such but I must admit I do sometimes like zooming in just to make sure it's all sharp, even just to train myself on what I could potentially be doing wrong if not.

In regards to clear details, it's more that I was focusing on my grandfather's face and it turned out blurry... mind you the rest of the shot is pin sharp... It's only in the one shot so far so I might put it dowen to something I did wrong
