It is commonly accepted knowledge, thanks to DPReview. It's also not accurate in the least, unless you are using the default JPEG settings on a D or DS and are pixel-peeping. The default settings were optimised for 4x6 prints on these models and produced soft jpegs. Bumping up the sharpness solved that problem.
That said, JPEG output got a lot better with the K100D/K110D, but it went from good to superb. -Adam Jens Bladt wrote: > A local guy wrote in a mail forum, that Pentax make so bad JPEG's, that one > has to use RAW! > Is this "commonly accepted knowledge"? > > I did some tests: > http://www.flickr.com/photos/bladt/sets/72157600220283492/ > http://www.flickr.com/photos/bladt/sets/72157600220255644/ > > Regards > Jens Bladt > > http://www.jensbladt.dk > +45 56 63 77 11 > +45 23 43 85 77 > > No virus found in this outgoing message. > Checked by AVG Free Edition. > Version: 7.5.467 / Virus Database: 269.7.1/805 - Release Date: 05/15/2007 > 10:47 > > -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
