I just did an informal review of K20d hot pixel reports. 1.) All hot pixel reports in the first two pages of the Google search point back to DP review.
1a.) The elsewhere in the DPReview post seems to have been one Polish site who used one raw converter, (DCRaw). The translated review seemed to be quite negitive based on the results, (and the fact that the K20D is more or less a K10D with improved imaging capability). I doubt that DCRaw a "free" open source converter had been optimized for the K20D at the time so I'd take their IQ results with a boulder of salt. 2.) Every user report except for that from R*** H***, that I skimmed basically said "hot pixels what hot pixels". 3.) I think I'll go back to sleep now. Final comment, (mine): Sheash what freaking arseholes. Jim King wrote: > Jack Davis wrote on Fri, 09 May 2008 14:18:29 -0700 > > >> Just noticed this on dpreview.
