Studio scene comparison (JPEG)
Canon EOS 50D vs. Pentax K20D
- Canon EOS 50D: Canon EF 50 mm F1.4 lens, Aperture Priority, ISO 100
JPEG Large/Fine, Manual WB, Default Parameters (Standard), Self-Timer (with MLU), ALO disabled
- Pentax K20D: Pentax 50 mm F1.4 lens, Aperture Priority, ISO 100
JPEG Large/Premium, Manual WB, Default Parameters (Natural), Self-Timer (auto MLU)
Despite the fact that the nominal resolution of these two cameras is very similar their output has quite different characteristics. While the amount of resolved detail is broadly comparable, the K20D image looks much more processed, with stronger sharpening and contrast and more accentuated colors - though it also has a touch more detail too. While Pentax' approach to processing certainly has more 'consumer appeal' the Canon output gives you more latitude in post processing.

The Nikon Coolpix P950 is a powerful superzoom compact camera, built around a 24-2000mm equivalent zoom lens. Successor to the popular P900, the P950 adds an improved EVF, Raw capture and 4K video. So is it worth $800?
The Fujifilm X-T4 brings image stabilization, faster shooting and a bigger battery to the X-T series. It's not without its shortcomings but we found it to be an excellent stills and video shooter.
