Of all the technical arguments exchanged so far, this is the most sensible non-technical opinion. With due respect for all these knowledgeable people in this list, which BTW is the tremendous asset, I have to agree with Marnie that Pentax is not THAT cynical. It seems to me that there are some people who do not like to admit that Pentax did something remarkable. Not pretending I am an expert in this area, and I am not, I have to point out that the illustration I posted was the part of their K10D site; http://www.digital.pentax.co.jp/ja/35mm/k10d/feature.html Yes, you can say it is their propaganda site, as it should be, but Pentax took sufficient space to emphasize the merits of the 22bit A/D converter. Illustration was to convey the principle of the advantage. Unlike other marketing savvy competitions, Pentax are fairly honest and sometimes clumsy bunch of people, often not advertising things others will make a big deal out of, such as the inclusion of ED glasses without even mentioning it :-).
