I was lucky enough to get a few hours lead time with the Pentax K-7, and here's my take on the in-camera HDR capabilities of this great new Pentax SLR!
Hi Jack,
Good to see you're still helping us to make the most of HDR from our cameras! Your article on TechTock is a very good and pretty comprehensive rundown of this new feature. Almost exactly the questions I was going to ask this weekend when I try out the K-7!
The visual examples are great, and the horse's head is a fantastic side-by-side. If you have a K20D, can you compare this "new" HDR method to the older "multi-exposure with ev comp" or would you say there is no comparison? 100% crops of high-contrast areas would also be nice!
Also, from looking at the example images and what you write about "no halos," do you think Pentax has put a version of Image Fusion (Enfuse, Photomatix H&S Average) into this camera?
Thanks,
-Mark (also from the radiance_list/ hdrsoft_list/ hdrlabs/ etc. worlds)
