I've never quite seen the point of TIFF capture either. On those of
my cameras that supported TIFF capture, they all simultaneously
create a JPEG with the current JPEG processing parameters. Setting
the JPEG parameters to the full resolution, lowest compression
settings, I have done pixel comparison of the two files on several
occasions and, yes, there are a lot of differences in actual pixel
values ... but printed to an 11x17" print, there was no apparent
difference in color, sharpness or artifacts.

To be fair to them, it would be better to have the program detect
when a
TIFF file was a Pentax RAW file and handle it automatically -
otherwise
you'll run into problems if you have a mixture of PEF and TIFF
files on
the same disk - so it's possibly not quite as easy as you might
think...
