It's simply because compact cameras are more often used by casual users, so the JPEG output tends to be brighter and sharper. This means nice colourful prints can be made without too much or even any extra work being done.

DSLRs generally have less sharpness and other processing applied as it's expected users may well want to do this themselves in Photoshop. They can be made to look the same as the compact camera type JPEGs by changing the parameters available in the menus.

This leads to users who are new to DSLRs sometimes feeling they lack the pazzazz that their compact camera images had. The DSLR won't suit everyone, but it does have much more potential for high quality results.

No detailed update yet, but it's clear that quality is absolutely up to DSLR standards. Some images from the GR are on my EPZ portfolio.

Not exactly the Facebook thing, can't say I'm entirely sure, but they approached me and I was happy to help. I suppose I'm not entirely invisible to the Pentax world so it could have been for a number of reasons.

You know we're not saying that Nigel.

Beats me, so perhaps someone else can suggest why?

But why not upload directly from your computer by using the Image button below the message pane?

The DSLRs are the only Pentax-derived Samsung cameras.

That would be very expensive dpm, by "computer shop" I mean my local computer service specialist, but no need for fancy titles!

It happens - I take very little notice of the date on my cameras, so it's a timely reminder that we could all check the settings.

We have to be scrupulously fair with competitions and if the date looks wrong, in the monthly the image is removed.

In the weekly competitions it doesn't matter.

If this happened I'd take the drive to my local computer shop and let the professionals do it. We have one about half a mile away, don't know about Glasgow!

Just a thought...if you have the colour space set to AdobeRGB turn it to sRGB. This will give you brighter colours on most devices and is essential for the web.

Nope, because if we take that then you shot the picture the day after you posted it, which would be a bit of a trick indeed. All dates are double checked for any possible options before they are removed.
