What you're describing sounds like when we use our cameras at higher ISO, reducing the dynamic range. Which would make sense, because with smaller sensors, and smaller pixels, you get less dynamic range. When they start producing mu4/3 with rear illuminated sensors, they won't get the dynamic range of the K-5, but they might start getting something close to the K-7. What I've noticed among friends shooting Canon is that when they take photos of people, the highlights on the skin look almost washed out, if not blown out. But, I think that could just be a metering, and processing choice. I usually work hard to keep detail in the highlights, and usually shoot in manual exposure. > > -- > Steve Desjardins > > -- > 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. -- 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.
