I'm really jealous of the extra 2 megapixels, is there any other way you got everything else to show up so sharp?

A Lot if it has to do with the quality of your lens. I decided if I really want to take nature shots I needed to by as good of glass as I could afford. The longer lens lets you bring them in closer so you can use as many Megapixels as possible to bring out the details and sharpness.

i've got a 10 megapixel cannon and 300mm lens, I've heard some debate as far as the glass quality helping or hurting, but i'm not sure on that, another thing some people say is shooting in RAW turns out best but I don't like how the original picture looks in comparison to JPG

IS your 300mm the G class lens. Basically I am asking if it is a professional level lens that cost around 4-5000 dollars. To get supper sharp images this is the starting point. A good camera is the next step, the better the camera the better the photograph. Do you shoot hand help, tripod or monopod. Even the smallest amount of motion will decrease sharpness of a photo. To over come the movement a tripod or monopod helps, also making sure you have fast enough shutter speed to compensate. It is impossible to not have motion blur in a 1/2 shutter or even up to 1/100 of a second handheld.

As for shooting Raw my shots are all done in Raw and processed to finally come out to a JPG. A Raw file is like a negative you have to work with it to get the desired results you want. When you first look at it in Photoshop or some other image processor there is no sharpening or denoising applied from the camera like a JPG has, so you have to do that yourself.

It really depends on your comfort level, I know people who shoot just Raw and some who shoot just JPG. I prefer Raw to JPG because there is no lass of information. Everytime you open a JPG and save it the quality decreases.

its not g class its just the basic 70-300 mm with a stabilizer running around 1000 I've not done enough photography at this point to justify the higher quality ones
