Well, y'all finally shamed me into shooting in DNG. Up until now,
I've been shooting almost exclusively in JPG. The few raw shots I have
taken were throw-away shots I simply discarded out of hand. But,
tonight, I decided to check try out the DNG + JPG function while taking
shots of the family Thanksgiving feast.
You see, quite a few of the reviews I read before buying my K-x lauded
its jpeg engine, stating that you don't really give up much at all by
using it instead of RAW. So, in the interest of conserving relatively
scarce storage space and computer resources, I never really bothered.
Well, I'm here to say -- and feel free to pass this along to anyone who
ever wrote a review of the K-x making that claim -- that they're huge
liars (I'm looking at YOU dpreview!). I'm quite simply astonished at
the difference, and kicking myself over the fact that it took me over
7000 clicks to realize it. Of those 7000 shots, I shudder to think how
many were deleted that could have easily been salvaged.
Ah, well ... live and learn. But, damn ... so many shots. (sob)
