Stealthy updates of K-1 II files a few days after the review

What KPM2 wrote here: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/61128870 seems true.

At least some of the K-1 II files shown in the Studio Scene at the time of review publishing (e.g. ISO 12800, "raw") did look suspicious - as if someone did not apply the usm 100, 0.6 filter applied to all other cameras JPGs.

That is the one ISO setting referenced specifically in the review.

Suprise, surprise.

Now the file has been replaced by another one silently - which has been processed differently and now it looks a world different.

Analysis:

If it is just another sign of dpr incompetence or something more sad everyone has to decide themselves.

Used car dealer are scientists - relatively.

Tip: If you really care - download raw files and develop to JPG yourself with settings you consider best practise. Don't let someone fool you.
