It's an old argument, but the SOOC JPEG club seem to ignore the processing performed by the camera!
Amen.

That said, I do not always shoot RAW. Most of my family snaps and most of the time I use the QS1, it's jpgs. Also, I personally love how the K100D renders jpgs and every now and then, I pop a random lens on it and take it for a spin in jpg mode. I don't constantly see a need for spending time developing RAWs. For many occasions, SOOC is just fine 😎

Not an expert and it's hard to judge if any part of the image is actually properly sharp since the photo is so small, however, I find that with most wide zooms, the widest end is always the softest so if you tend to enjoy the field of view at 16, you'd be better of getting one where 16 is middle of the pack. I've tried 4 different wide/ultra wide zooms and all had that issue. Try using your lens at 18 instead of 16, or even 17 and you may end up with totally different and much more pleasing results. Just a thought.

I paid much more than that for mine and think it was worth every penny. It lives permanently on the K3II. Despite it not being very wide on APS-C I dumped the kit in favour of it completely. It's brilliant on the K!1 as well. Does come with me for city walks when I do not wish to carry too much. It has the Pentax magic if you ask me.

Sigma 10-20mm is fantastic. Both version with the slower one being in my opinion, sharper and better overall. But that's just based one 1 sample so hardly any evidence. I have enjoyed using it immensely having taken thousands of interior shots with it. Lovely colour rendering, good sharpness, good handling. The only issue I had with mine is the lens hood - it kept on falling off! Strangely enough, never even cracked. Fantastic value for money.
