Dont use the sharpening feature built into your camera if you have it. Its junk.
The sharpen feature on photoshop and other photo editing software is pretty much junk too. Its just there for quick use, but gives you no real control, and can be pretty harsh on your image. Instead, use the unsharp mask. You get pretty much, full flexibility of image sharpening...and although it takes a bit longer, it works better.

To do it, just use these steps...
Image> Mode> Lab Color
Filter> Sharpen> Unsharp Mask...

Then set the Threshold, and radius to your liking. After that, adjust with the amount. I normally use a 1.0 for the Radius, and a 4 for the Threshold. Afterwards, I normally just use a 63-67 for the amount.

These images were sharpened too, btw.
