Jens, I have no idea how the downsampled images from K10D compares to other raw files, but I'd like to repeat one of my favourite dreams about why Pentax did this.

The K10D looks set to be the model for the 645D, IMD. :-) Jostein (IMD => In My Dreams) On 11/26/06, Jens Bladt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Since many of you guys have seen photographs shot with the K10D, what can > you say on the subject colour depth? > > www.dpreveiw.com says: > 22 bit Analog to Digital Converter > If accurate this could potentially deliver a very fine number of gradations, > especially useful in shadow areas. > However don't forget that this will always then be downsampled to eight bits > per channel for JPEG conversion or stored as 12 bits in RAW. > > How relevant this '22 bit ADC' is to the final image quality is yet to be > proven??? > > Regards > Jens Bladt > http://www.jensbladt.dk > > -- > No virus found in this outgoing message. > Checked by AVG Free Edition. > Version: 7.1.409 / Virus Database: 268.14.16/551 - Release Date: 11/25/2006 > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
