LX1 noise RAW vs. jpg

Hahahaha! duty calls. I'll wait. I just had a thought though. I'll be if you try the slight overexposure experiement, you'll have to dial the contrast to the lowest setting in the menus. Otherwise you'll probaby be blowing our highlights like crazy.

I've heard that RAW tends to have more dynamic range than jpegs out of the camera, but the stair well RAW file from yesterday wasn't too convincing. I do see a smidge more shadow and highlight detail in my E1's RAW files, but the in camera jpeg engine is so good, that I attribute the diff to my having set the camera jpeg settings poorly.

But if they HAVE tweeked the firmware, will they make it available to early adopters of the Lumix LX1? HOPE SO!!

That's good news.

But Simon Joinson wrote:

"The chip in the LX1 has low sensitivity and high noise, something you can easily see if you process the raw files without noise reduction."

Different RAW development?
