Re: ISO8000 jpeg quality: NX200 and NX300

in my opinion, NX300 jpeg appeal jpeg users with ready picture result especially in High ISO. very good for candid shooting and travel. appeal in raw is more on enhancement and manipulation of picture according to user's taste.  no sense why jpeg should be better than raw. raw manipulation is more on user's ability to make best picture quality out of raw negative. if raw result is ugly, then user let camera do processing for them.

I agree, saturation is well-maintained and accurate in NX300. I think NX200 correction make matters worse and limit dynamic range, also need sensor upgrade. maybe NX300 DR at best is near 14 and color depth even step better at 24 bits because of consistency? impressive color but still not as impressive as Sigma way of handling color mixture. maybe crop picture down to 16-18mp will look the same?
