At just a quick glance I don't think the problem is in the camera or the post processing, but rather your manual settings. They are all over the place. One picture you had 1/15th of a second on the shutter speed, that will create a blurry photo every time.
Another was an f stop of 2.0 which will also not create your sharpest image, depending on the lens.
ISOs are all over the place too.
Start with a low ISO, especially with the strobe and Macro. If the strobe is so so then you have to get really close (you can tell the photos that were lit by the strobe and the ones that weren't easily)
Basically, if you want to shoot in manual you have to understand how to create the proper exposure, which isn't that hard, but not really what this thread is about.
In short...keep working on it. Every camera is different and yours will have it's "sweet spots" where you get the best pictures from these settings.
