Because without the exposure compensation the K100 was underexposing. At nominal exposure, the white in the background on the K20 was on the verge of clipping, with the K100, I had to tweak the EV to expose to the right. I was getting both cameras to expose correctly so that it would not be an apples to oranges comparison. > More exposure will reduce the noise on both cameras. Again, it's > apples to oranges. The problem is that what I really need is to compare my K20 with another K20. I'm trying to find out if my K20 is working properly, and my understanding is that it is supposed to be so much better than the K100, that there shouldn't be any question. I should not be able to make the K100 work even close to as well as the K20. But, perhaps I spent $800 for far less improvement in image quality than I expected. > Paul > On Jul 21, 2009, at 3:42 AM, Larry Colen wrote: > > >On Tue, Jul 21, 2009 at 12:34:36AM -0700, Joseph McAllister wrote: > >>Hardly a labeled K20 shot in the bunch, Larry.
