Not too odd. Compression (of any kind) was only added at the last minute; as little as a month before the final release of the camera there was no compression of either format. As a PEF is a private format Pentax were free to use any kind of compression scheme they chose (working out what algorithms they use is on my list of things to do). Compressed DNG has to use the compression scheme called for in the DNG specification. My guess is that Pentax implemented whatever they had the code for readily available. I expect to see DNG compression in a later update to the firmware. > > My ist D produces ~13 MB PEFs.
