The DPR Raw headroom tests seem to bear out your experience, there's 0.6 of a stop more DR available in the K7 according to their testing methodology (which I find pretty lacking in practical terms). Pity I'm never going to own a K7 to be able to directly compare. Currently the only reason I'm keeping the K20D is just in case there's something that I can't possibly shoot using the K-x. -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
