Outdoor scene - Pentax *istDL comparison
![]() |
To compare real-life performance
we shot the same scene with each camera within a few minutes of each other
using their best quality JPEG settings. We set the bundled lenses to f8
using Aperture Priority mode. The crops are taken from the originals and
presented here at 100%. The image left was taken with the Pentax *istDL using the 18-55mm DA at 40mm f8; the original JPEG measured 2.73MB. The camera's correctly metered for the subject and the image has plenty of detail, although no more than its budget rivals. |
