K7 v1.03

Just run the firmware update, managed to delete the before pictures by mistake, but here are the after shots, at is 800, 1600, and 3200 respectively.

Dont think its just me, seems to be a significant improvement!

"I saw absolutely no difference looking at a very controlled situation with both firmware loads. I setup my tripod and took pictures at all ISOs from 100-6400 (even up to 100,000 by underexposing 6,400 by 4 stops).

I used manual exposure to ensure the camera didn't do any exposing to the right as it tends to do using automatic exposures. I updated firmware without touching the camera or lens focus and shot the shots again. I set the white balance using Lightroom to Custom, and made all images exactly the same white balance."

ach well, can always hope !!

thanks
