Like most madmen, however, he has seized on a point which is perfectly sane and up for reasonable discussion - until he got his hands on it. That is the pros and cons of baked-in alterations to RAW files. This isn’t just about noise (personally, I often introduce it as grain into my BW images so it’s no big thing for me). It is also about colour reproduction and, possibly, tweaks to clarity/acuity too. No doubt there is a proper technical term for that. On some platforms it embraces lens corrections, too. Plenty of arguments and plenty of interesting technology here.
I suspect we will be hearing a lot more about this in future as more and more software is brought to bear on the otherwise simple act of taking a photograph. There’s much more to this topic than just de noise.

Well OK but are we sure there is any longer a Ricoh USA in more than name to do this? The local team if there still is one can only do what HQ briefs them to and they are dependent on HQ for provisioning of marketing and information materials. Otherwise they won’t know more about ye accelerator unit than you or I. This might be Ricoh camera HQ back home just not focusing much on ROW beyond Japan.
