RAW of PEF?

Surely, an operating manual will tell you what the device CAN do, rather than what it CAN'T. So if you don't find a reference to a camera's ability to bake pizzas, or write poetry, you can assume it can't.

Furthermore, if you had read anything about the K10D (and we assume you must have done, as you felt able to comment on it here at some length), you will have read that it was the first camera to support DNG. Ergo, earlier Pentax cameras, like the K100D, do not.

Dear George,

Thank you for refreshing my memory.........and for you helpful, friendly, polite and informative attitude.

So sorry to trouble you with my inept and stupid question.

And to add to this - as I mentioned in my post, the K10D is the only one that uses a losslessly compressed PEF format. (This is because it has a much faster CPU and can cope with the job of squishing the data.)

All the others store the PEF directly (the *ist-D creating the largest file size).

Matt

well it is not exactly correct formulation - K100D Super is newer than K10D, but still does not have DNG.

You are illogical. Just because cameras earlier than the K10D (and Viewfinder was referring to the K100D, not the K100D Super) don't support DNG doesn't mean later cameras always will.

Horses are animals, but not all animals are horses.

The K100D super is an updated version which adds dust removal. The processor and such will probably be the same as the K100D.

OK, sorry, maybe I just did not get correct meaning of your answer, because english is not my native language. For me your text was a bit illogical .
