That's good. But, does that mean the competition has greater dynamic range in their .jpgs, which cam only be matched by the K10D if one shoots and adjusts a RAW image? Does it mean that the competition would have even more dynamic range if one did the same thing with their raw output?
I'd bet that the majority of shooters are shooting .jpgs. What this means is, that at least in this respect, the models that were compared apparently, beat out the Pentax, using the these test methods. While I don't have the camera in hand, I'm very disappointed with the advertising hype regarding both the 22-bit and the PRIME engine.
