Bill,
In your experience, do you get better results when you apply sharpening in the machine to an initially softer image, or when you get a sharper image and you apply lower or no sharpening in the machine ? (I ask this since the camera's / machine's algorithms are probably different)
And do you usually adjust that parameter to each customer's set of files, or do you have a "default" setting that you rarely adjust ?
Is color balance an issue for you or is it easily corrected/adjusted ?
Except the over sharpening issue you noticed with canons, is there any other issue related to these digicams that you noticed ?
And since I can't refrain from asking it: are there any brands that consistently give the best / worst prints ?

You'll have to work that out with your lab. I can set sharpening in lab from 0 sharpening to quite a lot higher than what you are describing in camera. The more your lab is sharpening, the less you will have to. Canon seems to have gone a bit overboard WRT sharpening, most of the stuff I see coming off Canon cameras appear oversharpened, and often have lots of cool aliasing artifacts as well.
