Yes the images are soft. However, the shots look like it is from motion blur. I mentioned this in another thread as well. This platform for shooting photos is not ideal. Regardless on how little wind there is, you will have motion. These cameras are 12MP on very small sensors. Any slight motion will be obvious.
The point is you need to compensate for the motion. In the case of this camera, that means higher shutter speeds than what you would use for video. A photo with 1/60 to 1/120 of a second shutter speed will simply be too slow. I'd be going to 1/500 at minimum. 1/1000 would be better.
So getting back to these photos, I would never use "standard" to capture the photos. This is simply adding compression at the cost of quality. Shoot in RAW and highest JPG you can. If you can process the DNG RAW file, then convert to JPG then you are going to get the best quality.
Getting back to the questions asked.... What were the settings?
Shutter Speed?
ISO?
Filter on the camera?
I'll assume this shot came from a resize of the standard JPG. If so, did you sharpen the shot at all? How did you resize?
