That's the issue here.
Indeed. That's the question. Until someone gets their hands on the camera, we won't know for certain. One would *hope* that the high level of customizability offered for standard NR might indicate the designers realize that control over noise reduction is important to some users. And that this knowledge might carry over to DFS on long exposures. But you never know. I don't know that I've ever seen the issue mentioned in mainstream reviews. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
