Nathan's Canon (WAS: [Leica] PAWS 27 and 28)

This is why many of us choose to shoot in the camera's RAW mode where
the sensor image is saved to memory without much processing at all.
(Maybe none?)

Manipulating that image is best done on a computer anyway where you
can toss some serious processing power at any problems instead of
using the camera's firmware.
