You'd be wrong to discount this because of commonality of the sensor: The output of CCD sensors is analog, so you can have all kinds of variations of processing - floating point, 12-bit, 16-bit, 48-bit, etc. - while using the same sensor. As has been pointed out, Nikon uses the same sensor in the D200 and D80 but different A-D conversion and processing in the two cameras. -- 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
