Pentax K200D: How bad is it?
I have never seen the raw images out of any other DSLR so I would like an opinion on the results that I am getting from my Pentax. I think I may be expecting too much but I am not overly impressed so far. Attached are two images taken last night. They are from the same frame. The first one is the jpg produced by the camera and the second a raw image that has been processed to bring out the detail (only some adjustment to levels and a small amount of curves). I used ICNR and an exposure of 10 minutes at iso 400.
From what I can see there are three main issues: low sensitivity, amp glow and banding. I think the maximum exposure with this camera is 5 minutes without the amp glow and banding becoming apparent. Certainly by 7 minutes it is too much. Are these issues normal?
