I wanted to see the unmanipulated results from each camera. I did say I wasn't sure what that would prove since all digital photos require some adjusting - white balance, sharpening, noise removal - whatever. I didn't want to test the conversion software. I had already done that with another experiment: http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/comparisons And I got such a wide range from each software I tested, I didn't want to throw the variables of the different conversion software into this experiment. I know I can get better results from the M8 at 2500 using white balance, noise removers, etc. http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/69803984 but that is not what I was testing this time. Thanks, Tina
