Originally posted by jerrymouse Thank you. The difference at iso 100 is so huge that I think it can't be only sensor issue, because I don't see such softness in my ISO 100 (K-x) pictures (but I don't have K-7 to compare).
The Sharpness setting does make a lot of difference.
I only did this with the JPGs -
Opened both normal NR ISO100 jpgs in my photo editor - tiled them side by side.
The just applied standard sharpen to the Kx image -
bang! the visual acuity/sharpness was immediate and noticeable -
now the Kx image looks a lot clearer and sharper.
Let me see if I can illustrate this -
below are crops (from 100% ie: NO resizing)
from the STD-NR versions of the ISO100 JPGs -
the EXIF info should still be attached -
the larger crop is obviously the K7 the Before and After are the Kx
all I did was to crop the images and save them to medium quality JPG
the "After" (Kx) shot had simple one-click standard Sharpen applied -
that's all nothing fancy -
look at the obvious difference
I would now pick the After shot as the better over the K7 -
whereas Before I would have chosen the K7......
