Originally posted by stevebrot Custom image and digital filters are both features that I have never used on my K-3. I tried them out when I was first learning the camera and decided they were sort of gimmicky and a pain to leverage.
I was positively surprised by the KP: The JPEG engine has definitely been improved over the K-5 and K-1 (1st version), to the point I'm actually sometimes exposing for best JPEGs rather than best, by my criteria, DNGs for post-processing. Tuning the parameters, which I also ignored before, makes a lot of
sense now. I still use DNG+JPEG, this way I can tweak them even in-camera and re-develop. I have some successful pictures using the high contrast B&W filter, but haven't really invested effort into any of the others. Is there a 'club' thread in the forum for those similar to the HDR ADV (sigh!) one?
