It must do something sloppy in converting to DNG, because there are various artifacts thrown into the picture: 1) a grain that looks like noise, but ain't touched by LR4's noise reducer, 2) a test shot on a decorated shower curtain came up with yellow splotches that are neither on the curtain nor on the jpg. I tried having it produce RAW instead of dng, but LR does not recognize the RAW put out by the hack. So, I'll just enjoy the toy as is. Gotta be a hell of a lot better than the camera in iPhone 5.
