Hi Wayne,

I just looked at your 330 shots, nicely done its an impressive little camera. The two 330 - Mine and father in laws have battery issues, I talked to canon and have to send it for repair, lucky its under warranty.

Cheers

Steve

Thanks Steve! Yes, I was already impressed with it before. But now that I have CHDK on it and am able to shoot raw, I am uber-impressed. The detail of the sensor/lens is really quite amazing in the raw files, so now I am really excited to get shooting with it.

This album has a test shot in raw (converted to jpg) as well as the camera's jpg (iso 320):

If you look at the original of each image, and at the trees to the right of the mast, you can really see the extra detail that the raw file has - more than I was expecting actually. Awesome!

These are really interesting experiments, and I can see an improvement in the detail of your raw shots, but I am always interested to see if it is possible to make jpg look as good, so here is my adjustments to your jpg image, hope you don't mind.

The adjustment:

changed color temperature to 6000 deg K

added brightness +5 and contrast +10

applied a little sharpening.

Adjusted jpg

I think the raw is still slightly better, but it would be interesting to try adjusting the in camera sharpness to +1 for the jpg, this seems to also have the affect of reducing NR.
