Yeah it was condescending. True enough. I apologize. :-) Nothing wrong with well executed snapshots either.
My point is probably multi-fold. Most people probably will not notice or look for the difference between 4x6 size snapshots of any DSLR. However, they may read a review, and when they read that the out-of-camera .jpg is lacking in sharpness and/or dynamic range (regardless of whether they understand the terms) from Pentax, they may look elsewhere. If I and others know this, why doesn't Pentax?
