Someone was selling an FA31 on craigslist, I asked if he had a K20 and if we could do some side by side testing to check mine. He only had a few minutes when he stopped by, so we set the test up with his camera, took the shots, he left and I took the shots with my camera.
It seems as if the tripod did get bumped, also his camera was a little bit out of focus, so they aren't as perfectly apples to apples as I'd like, but it's the same model, the very same lens, about the same position, same subject and barring a slight change of lighting in 15 minutes, the same light. We set the exposure up, ISO 800, f/2.8 1 second, bracketing 0.7 stops then ISO 1600 1/2 second and ISO 3200 1/4 second. The photos were processed in lightroom, using auto tone. These are ISO 3200 1/4 sec f/2.8 Mine: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/3759271639/meta/in/set-72157621847042188 Jimmy's http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/3759267719/meta/in/set-72157621847042188 The sets: Uncropped: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157621846841786/ A wide short crop getting white, black and grey http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157621722533279/ A tight crop http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157621847042188/ So my question is, "Is my K20 performing approximately as well as his?" -- The first step is learning to take great photos, the second step is learning to throw away ones that are merely good.
