Except for the M8 all digital images I've worked with require sharpening. Canon explicitly recognizes this and gives some base settings in their literature for 1Ds MkII.

I think you actually need to play with a digital image to understand what's going on, Frank. The result is very real and obvious even on images you wouldn't suspect would react well. Would an example help you? Adam
