Over Smoothing
I'm seeing over smoothing of many photos. It's not consistent and I don't know what to make of it. If I take a picture of my carpet and do a 100% crop, I find much less detail than what I think I should be seeing for a 13MP camera. It looks great at the 30% zoom. I want to take a few more pictures and I'll post it. Didn't get a chance to do that today. But my real concern are the portraits. Most of those (front and rear camera) are over smoothened with the result that some of those come out looking like pastel images. I don't like to post personal images on the web, so I won't do that. But I'm wondering if any one else has noticed it. I have read rave reviews of the camera and it's not looking all that great to me.
Of the pictures posted here, Osseon's second picture of the dog (
