When shooting RAW, going over ISO 800 in the K100 doesn't gain you anything. Rather than boosting gain in the electronics, it just does the math between the A/D and the data file to simulate the added speed. > > It's a pretty fine camera, I must say. I *much* prefer the feel of the K100 to the K-x. It has several important features that are missing in the K-x, and even a few that are still missing in the K-r. In good light, i.e. ISO 200, I think that the sensor actually gives better photos than the K-x or K20. It's nothing tangible, but there is just something really sweet about how that camera performs. I was very bummed when I noticed the de-lamination in the viewfinder. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- 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.
