Hi Markus,
I've printed a few K20D hi-ISO pictures (not the one posted here) and they
look very fine, better than seen on the screen. Then, I fully agree with
your idea of what a professional camera is. In fact, I am currently writing
an article for an Italian photo magazine, discussing such concepts. Your
message confirms and strengthens my writing there.
Cheers,
Dario

Hi Dario,
very nice shot. Have you tried to print it to paper and checked the
quality? I'm pretty sure, "in life" it looks even better than "in
virtual". I have printed quite a lot of K20D high-ISO A3s and only few
of 'em have been disappointing without additional noise reduction.
I was thinking today, what's the main difference between K20D and D3x
(besides the nearly 10x gap in price). There are no many scenes I can't
perpetuate with K20D. D3x just does the same work much easier and
quicker. It's a professional camera for professional photographers who
need to get the result AT ONCE and FOR SURE. If there's enough time (and
experience) we can produce (nearly) the same quality photos with K20D or
even lower end cameras. At least up to A3 size.
OK, if anyone's interested, here' a D3x ISO6400 in full size. JPEG
straight from a camera.
Warning1: 20MB file. Warning2: you may not like what you see :)

If you still interested, here's an ISO100 sample. Smaller file, but you
still may not like the image :)

Hi Margus,
Yes, I think of the K20D as a very capable camera too. See here a nice ISO
3200 shot:

Just a straight conversion from RAW (full frame). You can add noise ninja
and/or sharpening at your leisure.

Have been busy by testing some cameras again. My this month favorite is
massive, but handy, has probably even too many megapixels, but the
resolution is really stunning, takes pictures at ISOs we really don't
need, but the image is damn clean... after all it costs way too much,
but
gives a nice image of what (much more affordable) digital SLRs will be in
future.
Nikon D3x with Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 G lens
(ISO1600, 1/60s, f/4.0, handheld, WB: tungsten, scene lighted by
bluish-white desk lamp, JPEG from camera resized in PS without any
corrections)

PS, the more I test expensive cameras, the more I see, that K20D is
actually a very capable piece of equipment.
