As post processing tools get better many shots that capture a great moment, but were technically lacking become salvageable. Lightroom's new noise reduction is very impressive, and makes me glad that I shoot in raw. Even so, I would say that the vast majority of any improvement in the quality of my work over the past year or so is as much due to the pictures that I don't post, as it is in any improvement in my skills as a photographer. Giving credit where it is due, a lot of the pictures that I've taken in the past year are a lot deeper within the little stormtroopers performance envelope than they were the K20. The K20 is amazing under ISO 640, when you can take the time to manually set the exposure, double check the histogram, and take time with focusing, but as I've discovered recently when using both if you need high ISO, or accurate auto exposure, the K-x is so much better. As an aside, I'm somewhat bothered by referring to sensitivity as ISO, as it actually has very little to do with the International Standards Organization, but calling it sensitivity would probably cause more confusion than it clears up inaccuracies. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- 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.
