Soft edges on C330 shots

Am I thinking along the right lines? Could be softness from being wide open. Tripod? Shutter speed? Release cable? Bad scan? Can't be the tripod, wasn't using one... Shutter speed, probaly 1/60th, may have been chancing it at 1/30th... Actually amazed that with the 55mm lens I have gotten away with 1/15th on occation. Release cable, bit silly if you are hand held... Duh, but I didn't know it was hand held. I know - I'm going to get the tripod lecture - I really must take it out on a tripod and see what happens some day! That's it - beat yourself up before I get a chance. The 'rule-of-thumb' speed is only good for smallish prints, IMO. Present that photo screen size and it starts to look a bit soft. I'd put most of the softness to being handheld. I'm wondering about the scan. Would explain why the bottom left of the building is unsharp when the top is.
