Photos coming out fuzzy on brand new 90D

[nicktine]

Upgraded from my rebel T7 to the 90 D because I wanted something more professional within my budget. Photos are coming out with what seems to me to be more noise than the photos I was getting with a T7 I’m wondering if it’s something I’m doing wrong or if my expectations are simply too high

ive been holding my camera Close to my body and gently squeezing shutter

What shooting mode were you using?  What lens did you use?

I think the main problem with this image is that the shutter speed is too slow.  But, the slow shutter speed is probably a result of setting aperture to f/14 and/or setting ISO 100.

This camera will behave a little differently from your previous camera.  I recommend setting the camera to P mode.  It is one of the best modes for inexperienced photographers to use to learn a new camera body.  

While you may have used the T7 for well over a year or two, the fact is the T7 is an entry level camera body.  The 90D is much more advanced camera.  You have made the jump from a tricycle to a 16 speed road bike.

Honestly, there are a lot of variables here.  We have no idea of the shooting information (since there is no link), so it would be helpful if we knew if you were using your previous lenses and what they are, also any other lenses you are using.

Can you please publish your EXIF data for the sample above?  I downloaded the file and there is none included and the image is significantly reduced in resolution.  Also please advise what shooting modes you have been using.

When you say you are shooting with the camera close to your body, do you mean held down and looking through the LCD at the back, or with the camera to your eye and looking through the viewfinder?

Thanks Danny for that effort, however upon uploading the image and viewing in PS, there is still not EXIF data - so my questions to the OP still stand.  Thanks again for the effort though! 🙂

“ive been holding my camera Close to my body and gently squeezing shutter”. 

You should be looking through the OVF, optical viewfinder, with your elbows close to your body.  No chicken wings.  Not only is it harder to steady the camera, someone can bump your elbow and down goes you camera.

What lens were you using?  You used a really narrow aperture and a very slow shutter speed; that seems an odd combination of settings to match ISO 100 for a standard exposure at the camera's "native" ISO.

The diffraction limited aperture for the 90D is around f5 and when you go beyond that, the sharpness begins to degrade slightly which will be noticeable if you are pixel peeping at 100%. 

I would suggest taking a look at the absolute depth of field you need and set your aperture to something hopefully more reasonable that will allow a faster shutter speed (to avoid any camera shake impact) and move closer to the DLA of the 90D.

I apologize for my late reply, I work in the city as an elevator mechanic and I was quite busy today on call. However I was able to bring my camera in my tool bag and get some shots of the upper Eastside while I had no calls.

I am shocked with everybody’s very in-depth replies and how much time and effort everyone puts reply to my question. In the Original photo I posted I am using a Canon EFS STM 18–55 mm lens I bought for about $200 at a photography store here in the city although I don’t live here I live in the country.

I managed to stop at Best Buy today and buy a 50mm EF fixed focal length lens with a minimum aperture of f1.8 

I will post a link below of the original photo in question hopefully it is the ForAll file as I have figured out how to post from Lightroom included are some more photos I took today with the 50 mm EF lens I feel like I get better images with this but if you can please let me know if I’m doing anything wrong I appreciate everybody’s help it is so awesome to see A community form with such intelligent and skilled people willing to help.

And yes I was looking through the optical viewfinder with my arms locked to my body as stable as I can still learning technique but definitely willing to take constructive criticism on my form as I am definitely interested in taking the best possible photos I can

Camera mode was Manual, I thought the rule of thumb was to match your shutter speed to your lens focal length in this case I was using a canon Efs stm 18-55mm, I believe I shot this at 18mm wouldn’t 1/60 be more than enough speed for this photo?

And yeah I’m noticing it’s not as point and shoot as the t7 but the photos I am nailing are very pleasing, maybe it’s just a learning curve I have to ride out?

Any tips?
