A good image Stan but "blue" cast takes away the colour warmth. Just dragged it into PS and even auto colour makes a vast improvement. So plenty of scope in it. The cat in the foreground is a different. Possibly a move to the right to try to gat passed that growth that is centre image?

After seeing the FE shots by Alan on his Q, I was hooked. It has good potential. It arrived today from Uncle Sam for 59 pounds, great value!
Seen here on the wife's Q, taken by my Q with 8.5mm lens.
Looking forward to getting out with it.

No idea about comparing in that way K10D, but RAW is not totally unprocessed. There is a limited amount of processing that you get regardless, but to be fair not likely to be significant in terms of what you eventually see on your screen.
I think the Pentax look is more than just the JPEG algorithms though. There is a character to the lenses as well, and of course the basic response of the sensor plus that minimal processing. Even when cameras use sensors that a nominally the same, they may not be from identical batches or types of that sensor. Sensors may have stages of development too?
So we Pentax users really are privileged! Roll on the 35mm size sensor.No idea about comparing in that way K10D, but RAW is not totally unprocessed.

What makes the MkII or IIs better than a MkI if you shoot RAW? I can accept that the lack of AA filter impacts results. If you manual focus on static subjects using RAW, where is the improvement as it comes down to the user to determine the quality of the final result.
I have previously commented that I shoot JPG. Lately, I have shot a lot of landscape images in RAW. I like the Pentax out of camera JPG's better than Nikon JPG's and tweak the latter to match the Pentax look.
Once shooting in RAW, I process both Pentax and Nikon RAW files in PS and the only difference I see then is down to sensor size and lens used.
So how is MkII RAW better than MkI RAW? Indeed, how can one tell the difference between a 5D MkIII RAW with a Pentax Ltd and Pentax?

Apparently a camera that sells very well in the worlds largest economy. If Pentax run out of numbers they could end up with a KKK model, but that would not sell too well with some markets.I can't understand Canon having different names in different parts of the world.....

Pick up and use an Alpha 99, I was shocked at how good it is and am edging to upgrade my Maxxum 7D to one, now thats a quantum leap forward by any standard.now I know Sony doesn't do Noise reduction well but frankly it was a gritty monster!
