450D focus problems

    Hi all, hopefully someone can advise me on the best course of action here.
    I've owned a 450D for just under two years now and have always felt the pictures were a little soft but I've struggled along and upgraded lens' and used photoshop(a lot!) to improve my pics.
    Lately however, the problem has become quite severe and incredibly frustrating, I didn't know if it was me, the camera, the lens (70-300 is USM) or a combination of all three but every picture was just junk!
    its soul destroying to watch someone with a cameraphone take a better picture than you with a DSLR:(
    The two images below were taken at a distance of 2000 metres in reasonably good light with "iS" switched off. You can see how bad they are.

    I got talking to someone last night and they said it was possibly a fault with the secondary focus mirror in the camera and I should send the camera off to Canon for adjustment. Is this just something that I accept as part and parcel of DSLR ownership or should Canon accept some responsibility? Thanks for any advice.
