However, while applying more sharpening does enhance the feeling of sharpness; it does not (for me) achieve the texture of "fine detail." It seems that if the "detail" is not there sharpening cannot create it. Again these become subjective preferences and depending on the subject matter may be extremely subtle. It became perfectly clear to me when I put the same Leica lenses on both the 5D and the DMR (with each camera locked onto a tripod and focused on the same subject). I still enjoy the security of having the Full Frame 5D available as backup; as well as the auto focus C lenses; and the high ISO performance when appropriate and needed. I'm not trying to put down or slander the Cmos sensors; only noting the differences as I actually, subjectively experience them.
