I shot my SLR for the first time in a while yesterday, and noticed the same results you're describing.
After looking through and editing the images, I found two causes:
A. shooting hand held with too slow of a shutter speed, and forgot to turn on the anti shake. Check the EXIF data and see how your camera was set for the images you don't like.
B. wrong focal point. I had set the camera to automatically choose the focal point, and it chose poorly sometimes. After setting it to only use the center focus sensor, and me manually choosing the focal point, I got what I was after. You can check for this in your images by looking at different parts of the pics and see if other points are sharp instead of your intended point.
Also, if you are using a crop lens on a full frame body, the results will never be up to par.
