Pretty much. It all depends on how the JPEG rendering is set up. The Pentax and Nikon's clip highlights much sooner in JPEG than in RAW (Which is a royal pain on the D50, let me tell you). I can't say as to whether or not the Canon's do, as I don't own one of their DSLR's (Although a 30D may be in my future, as I can adapt all my SLR glass to it and I do rather like them). -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
