Is there something wrong with my second-hand Canon s90? Bit blurry over range.

Hi everyone. I bought a Canon s90 about 6 months ago off eBay and have been really enjoying it. The quality of the image on macro shots is phenomenal but I when it comes to taking photos over longer distances I can't help but feel it looks a little blurry. I've looked at online galleries and to me it looks like there might be a problem. I've uploaded some photos below so you can see for yourself in the original .jpg format shot in Auto Mode and I always try and keep my hands as still as possible when shooting. I tried comparing RAW to JPEG and couldn't see any difference in image sharpness.

You'll have to download the image to see them properly since the preview that the site creates is rubbish.

Is that image quality typical of the camera?

Thanks!
 
I can't get onto those images at work.

What sort of shutter speeds were you using? Were you on manual or auto focus? If auto what were you focussing on?

Have you tried seearching Flickr for other images taken with S90s?

FWIW I've been happy with the sharpness on mine at all subject distances.
 
And I thought it was the over draconian Internet policy at work...
