With the Pentax's, you've usually got about 1 stop of overhead between blown highlights on the JPEG and on the RAW, Nikon's about the same (at least with the D50) although most Nikon's underexpose a bit to preserve JPEG highlights. Canon may not be giving you that extra headroom (As it's purely in the JPEG rendering engine). -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
