Your conclusion is most likely correct based on overall experiences with these cameras, but I would question a few things in this specific test procedure. The exact same lens should be used on both cameras and the images should be tweeked on one of the cameras via fine bracketing for exposure value to make up for any variations in camera metering or shutter speeds from camera to camera. It would also be interesting to see what differences remain with both images optimized manually in RAW conversion and photoshop tweeking.
I dont know about the K10D, but my istDS doesnt do that great on a bright sunny day scene with lots shadows compared to typical color neg film. Its more like medium speed slide film with regards to handling high contrast scenes like that. jco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Boris Liberman Sent: Sunday, February 11, 2007 7:55 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: Better K10D exposure-tests (Was:*ist-Ds Vs. K10D image quality?) Jens, at al. I did not perform any tests such as this one, however my general impression is that K10D: 1. Has slightly wider dynamic range. 2. Has more consistent auto white balance operation. 3. Renders images in somewhat more faithful way. The colors look more natural. Just my cents.
