It's worth noting that RAW conversion software like Adobe Camera Raw has improved vastly since the time when you performed the first test with the D60. Though I don't have any direct information on the matter, I strongly doubt built-in conversion software inside cameras has improved significantly during the same time period. -- Mark Roberts Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com 412-687-2835 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
