i just viewed the pic i took at the garden fet todae and found that most were not sharp although i deployed the tripod. Is there ani lens that is sharper than D80 kit lens? Or is my technique wrong, bad?

Hard for us to help if you dont post a picture as an example of what you feel was 'not sharp'

Can be many factors like OOF, object is too near and is less than min focusing distance, motion blur of subject, front/back focusing, DOF to thin etc..

I think there are quite a lot of lenses that are sharper than the kit lens, eg Primes, macro lens. Probably the 17-55 f2.8, 70-200 f2.8 VR etc

Please post your settings...

I guess it's due to shake. Or probably your focal point is in error??
