MD - on the soft shots, either increase the in camera sharpening or apply some unsharp mask in Photoshop.

Saturation and sharpening are cranked up in p&s cameras and cranked way down in DSLR's, so you need to adjust afterwards or crank it up in camera on your 40D. It is very rare that I don't post process the pics from the 40 or 50.
