Ken, this is wonderful information. Thanks very much for the translation. You are a great asset for us.
Compressed RAW? This is news. I assume that in Japan there have been discussions of noise levels at high ISO in the K10D, just as there have been here. I interpret this interview as an attempt to quell the concerns and speculations that have been going around. I know many list members have been bothered by the expression of these concerns, but guess what? I suspect that our expressions of concern got our famously uncommunicative company to scatter a few more crumbs of information our way. I note the point about tone gradation in the samples posted on Pentax Japan's web site. But without comparative samples of the same subject taken with, say, a 12 bit A/D converter, I can't tell yet just what the 22 bit converter will give us.
