He talks about the RAW files from his Leica M8 being totally 
different from those from his Nikon.  I'd agree based on Leica M8's 
and Canons.  There is no comparison.  I think the judges 
over-reacted, too.  One said he changed a chair to yellow and a wall 
to blue when they are clearly those colors in the RAW, just washed 
out - as RAW files sometimes are.
