Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / December 2006K10D versus? Anything to prove value of 22bit encoding?
Any output yet, comparisions to other cameras that would show a difference? And please....no F----- high-end audio analogies. > Any output yet, comparisions to other cameras that would show a > difference? > And please....no F----- high-end audio analogies. Plenty of K10D shots on DP Review and other places, have a look yourself. >> Any output yet, comparisions to other cameras that would show a >> difference? >> And please....no F----- high-end audio analogies. > > Plenty of K10D shots on DP Review and other places, have a look yourself. There's something amusing about trying to pick out the most-subtle differences between shots on an image that's been reduced from 12 bit (or 22 in this case?) down to 8, then further compressed via jpg, then reconstituted on a computer whose video card & monitor aren't likely up to the task of faithfully rendering what was originally there. That's the cynical side of me. The practical says yes, you can construct shots that will reproduce the best & worst a camera has to offer such that it (the differences) still come across, even after all the digital trashing goes on. Geez, next thing you know I'm going to be pushing for analog!

On Dpreview? I don't think so, they haven't reviewed it yet. >> Plenty of K10D shots on DP Review and other places, have a look >> yourself. > > On Dpreview?

There are hundreds of shots by now posted in the Pentax DSLR forum. --------------- Marc Sabatella marc@outsideshore.com Music, art, & educational materials Featuring "A Jazz Improvisation Primer" http://www.outsideshore.com/ >>> Plenty of K10D shots on DP Review and other places, have a look >>> yourself.

Sometimes you trolls have to look past the sensational headlines Rich. You want subtle from a K10D, try these. D80 you will have to find yourself. http://www.flickr.com/photos/pete_with_pentax/318263210/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/pete_with_pentax/321071824/ > >>> Plenty of K10D shots on DP Review and other places, have a look > >>> yourself.

As someone else mentioned, it's quite difficult to compare small compressed images as they will all look fairly good. At the very least we need full size JPG images at the lowest compression ratio. RAW images would be best for comparisons to see if the bit depth makes a difference, or if it's just more marketing hype. I'm sure a review site will tackle that one shortly.

Yes of course but it is all I have as I do not have a D80, the review on Luminous Landscape probably says enough anyway. In the mean time this is all we can offer on this site, please check back later when our reviews and comparisons are completed. > > You want subtle from a K10D, try these.

Are you going to be blowing up K10D photos to wall-sized? What sort of test do you think could show off the difference between the K10D and other A/D converter systems? >>>> Plenty of K10D shots on DP Review and other places, have a look >>>> yourself.

Tell me Pete, did you sharpen any, or was this pretty much what was shot? And did you use the Pentax software, or did you use something else like Photoshop or Elements? Thanks! Here ya go! You read Japanese right? http://dc.watch.impress.co.jp/cda/review/2006/11/28/5136.html > Any output yet, comparisions to other cameras that would show a > difference? > And please....no F----- high-end audio analogies. |
