Guest guy_mancuso Posted September 7, 2007 Share #21 Posted September 7, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) But Guy, When do we get an up-date from Leica with a better jpg quality out of the camera? What I think is relevant and the 'morale' here is that good jpg's out of the camera is a good thing. The key word is 'speed'. When will we get it? Well it was asked for in a meeting i had in Germany.My concern was the compression of jpegs is too much and also AWB issues. The question of speed is a interesting one obviously shooting jpeg the camera has to do the processing and that does slow it down and a improvement would certainly help Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That M8 has too slow/don't have the computer capacity to handle better jpg files? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ho_co Posted September 7, 2007 Share #23 Posted September 7, 2007 Tom-- The M8 appears to be optimized for writing raw files. The camera takes longer to write JPGs than to write DNGs. --HC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we have to wait untill M9 to get this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy_mancuso Posted September 10, 2007 Share #25 Posted September 10, 2007 We asked for better jpegs that are less compressed. All we can do is ask, hopefully there working on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Mondello Posted September 10, 2007 Share #26 Posted September 10, 2007 Guy, your dot Mac link isn't working. I am also a RAW shooter but recently shot an event in NYC (D200) using only JPGs and it was fine. Don't know if I want to try that yet with the M8! But you've encouraged me to give it a go.

Guest guy_mancuso Posted September 10, 2007 Share #27 Posted September 10, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks Joe i will fix that but with jpeg shoot fine and just adjust the color temp to taste, AWB was pretty good but i still don't trust it totally for jpeg. Also do a test on sharpening , i wound up with adding some in camera Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Mondello Posted September 10, 2007 Share #28 Posted September 10, 2007 Thanks Joe i will fix that . . . Ooops! One more thing to fix! The page is dated August 2008! So it makes it look like the workshop takes place next year -- but I *think* it is this year, no? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patman Posted September 14, 2007 Share #30 Posted September 14, 2007 If you want to try something interesting try a small program called Free Photo Converter. Drag in or select a folder of any kind of photo image pick your jpeg size and quality, and convert. It's practically an instant conversion and works well with DNG files.
