I downloaded several of the sample images and loaded them up in
photoshop and applied USM to the images. I was able to apply an
extremely aggressive sharpening to the images without fear. If
I tried even half the sharpening to either the E-1 or A1 files I
would have had artifacts and blobbies left and right. The image
of the bridge, inparticular, took HUGE amounts of sharpening.
I don't understand where others are finding fault with the
Pentax files as I see them as highly usable and as good as
anything I've ever tested. They are really good.
