Canon 20D Focus question

Greetings everyone.

I just picked up the 20D (3rd dig, 1st dig-slr) and so far love it.
After reviewing some of my images I thought I had the "Soft Focus"
issue that I have read about. Then I began experimenting.

If I shoot Raw everything seems very sharp... If I shoot Large Fine
the images look slightly out of focus, if I change to Large Normal
everything appears sharper.

(note: This was a quick test and not 100% controlled.

This seems counter intuitive to me and I was hoping that someone could
shed a little light on the situation.


TIA,
Leith
