Subject: K-5, K-7, side-by-side at ISO 6400
Boris asked me to provide a direct comparison. So here it is. One pic
each of the same scene from each camera, shot off a tripod with the DA*
16-50 at f5.6, 1/60th. (Both meters agreed on that exposure.) The FOV
varies slightly, because I turned the zoom ring a bit when removing the
lens from camera one. The K-7 pic is 22mm, the K-5 is 21mm. In addition
to one shot from each, I've combined the two images for direct viewing of
both at once. I've sized the jpegs slightly larger than my normal web
pics for better detail viewing. Both are raws, converted with the default
settings of my ACR softwre.
The scene is a cluttered part of my basement, with illuminated ( and
dusty:-) foreground objects and deep shadows in the background. In the
shadows are some white surfaces that readily show noise. There's also a
hot highlight in the background -- a light reflected in a mirror. Ugly
pics, but telling examples. Note that the K-5 renders colors warmer and,
as Boris suggested earlier, the unprocessed pic appears to have less
contrast.
