However there is still noise reduction and other algorithms, anti-aliasing and gamma encoding going on in the camera irrespective. Not to denigrate their sensors but that is part of the high ISO performance of the new Nikons, for example. Leica specifically claims to do less manipulation to help preserve the lens performance. All Raw files represent a conversion. As you know it is grey scale analog data in the first instance. There is a lot of number crunching. Extending that, the M8 for example adjusts light fall off on the outer sensor edges ( as well as the cyan corners introduced by the UV/IR filter) according to detected focal length, for example. This applies to DNG's not only jpgs which of course are a more processed version of the same data.

But RAW is RAW, from what I understand. With my Epson R-D1s, I can fiddle the in-camera software settings as much as I want, only the JPGs are affected, but the RAW files stay the same. But not shure for other cameras. Didier >Yes, but it's more than just some sharpening and tweaking is what I really meant. >Nikon,Leica,Canon all have some kind of built-in processing where the Red does not. >Chris _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
