Waitrose sausages

Adam Scorey was clearly impressed with the KR in terms of value, in this latest review of the KR he talks of value and uses an interesting metaphor "almost like buying Waitrose sausages at Lidl prices!"
The same review displayed some less favourable comments "but then this thing has a Sony sensor, so it should"! referring to the "strong vibrant colours"

Changing the default setting of "Bright" to "Natural" renders the colours spot on IMHO.

Don't be fooled, Lidl prices are creeping up but we still do our main shop there.

I prefer "Porkinsons Bangers" he was a photographer after all
so he should know his sausages

...and Waitrose prices (and quality) are slipping down.

It's a sad comment that they cannot make a living by selling better things.

I have to say that I haven't noticed Waitrose quality slipping. And as their prices...!!!!!!!!

Their "essential" range George. It's the thin end of the wedge I tell you. They still have Gentleman's relish (for the moment) but they no longer keep pocaher's relish.

All John Lewis staff have just had an 18% Bonus

Better they all get a nice bonus than a couple of fat cats at the top (Barclays bank springs to mind).

It may have a Sony sensor, but I suspect Pentax use completely different processing and possibly even a different filter in front of it. Much the same as Saab being handed a pile of GM bits and building something which is a much better car than anything else using them!

I know my friend's A100 can't match my K-m if you ask both to produce JPGs in-camera, and they most likely share a sensor.

Referring to the KR as "this thing" was derogatory in my view, not sure what he would have said if it had been a Pentax sensor.
