Don't forget you can onkly upload one image per day, unless you were a Pentax User subscriber.

It looks fine on my monitor, could it be that you have a monitor calibration issue? Or (long shot) that the camera has been inadvertently set to AdobeRGB?

Unfortunately I can't remember the rating of the battery, but it was higher than the K20D type.

What most computer-savvy users forget is that a huge percentage of web users are not so well informed. The basic advice to stick to sRGB will keep things looking fine without any messing about at all.

The worst scenario is fiddling with things without the proper knowledge.

Yes, very interesting, many thanks for that.

Then you have your answer - use the Li-ion battery provided and you won't have a problem.

There is a 16 level step wedge on ePHOTOzine at the bottom of gallery pages. A much better one than the dpreview one.
Sounds great, now how about putting it on the upload page on PUF?

My own bugbear with the gallery is that the gallery-resized version often has different colours to the uploaded (click through) version. Anyone know how to avoid that?
The first suggestion is a good one.

The second question suggests there's something amiss with your colour management. The colours of my images are the same whether I upload to EPZ, to the Gallery on PU or post in the forums.

Are you making sure your images are sRGB? If you have an AdobeRGB/sRGB mix then that could be the cause of the problem. Web images must be sRGB.

If we are talking about buying a new camera, the battery should be fully charged before first use. I would expect over 800 shots with one of these batteries - I had a camera on test for a few days and couldn't shoot enough images to even dent the battery power.

The W90 is much at its best at near to medium distances and at its weakest at infinity and wide apertures. Very useable though in situations where no other camera would dare to tread, and that's its point.
