Re: Distortion Correction ALWAYS enabled in NX1 + 16-50S

A summary reply to all the posts here.
- Yes, I agree that I've been a bit over-expressive with my vocabulary. It's not a life-or-death matter...
- But I still think it's something completely incomprehensible about Samsung decision. I mean, you give the option to turn on/off the distortion correction in a "cheap amateurish" lens (50-200), but you don't give that option with a prime lens (16-50S). Are you nuts?
- (A bit offtopic but nevertheless... I've seen a quite a number of reviews, dpreview's one as example, where the reviewer complain about NX1 not offering any kind of control about the applied level of noise reduction, which can also "kill" (decrease) available detail. But IIRC nobody has complaint about distortion being on all the time... Aren't they similar processes?)
- Samsung is (IMO) absurd about the Distortion Correction decision. But they are not stupid (obviously). SRWs are free from this correction and they MUST remain in this way. The Distortion Correction, (like a future hypothetical NR setting), should be only applied to JPGs. If you shoot in RAW is because you want the MAXIMUM and UNADULTERATED information the sensor has received in order to perform whichever post-processing you desire. Applying any kind of in-camera correction to RAW data would be absolutely nonsense. Either shoot in JPG instead, or perform that correction in your post-process.
