hey guys, judging by the commentary it looks DPR has updated the K-1 shots, of course without any further announcement from DPR themselves, they wouldnt admit their tests were faulty, would they..
anyways, this comment by left eye i found very interesting. Can somebody else confirm this perhaps?
Quote: Ok, the K1 RAW's have been updated.
So I've redeveloped them, and in comparison to the D810, the K1 is stunning!
Tried 100 ISO and 800 ISO.
ACR:
Shadows +14 (all other settings centred)
Sharpness, 40% 1pix, Detail 50, Colour Noise 10 (all other settings centred, no luminance noise reduction etc)
The amazing part is the very very very low noise of the K1 (I'm comparing the 800 ISO). Yes the D810 looks sharper (and many suspect this is the lens), but as another poster here raised the D810 RAWs look like they have extra 'in-camera' sharpening applied [there's no such thing as totally RAW, on-chip electronics lend they 'magic'] - you can see more of a contrast bounce around sharp edges of D810 RAWs that you might expect. Anyway if you increase the ACR sharpness of the K1 RAWs, Sharpness, 65% 1pix, Detail 60, in terms of detail its then a match for the D810 but still with much much lower noise! + lower than the A7RII !
Good job Pentax, you've certainly fine-tuned that sensor.
