philipotto Posted September 19, 2006 Share #1 Posted September 19, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I plan to purchase an M8 as soon as my I have the funds for it, so here is my wish for final firmware. I hope that ample tuning time is spent to get the most out of jpgs. I know many of you may gasp, using an m8 to shoot jpgs!, but I prefer the simplicity of JPG, and much prefer shooting pictures to fiddleing over them afterwords, so it is my hope that the M8 will produce jpgs that are good enough that im not forced into shooting RAW. An umcompressed but processed format e.g. TIFF would be welcome as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 Hi philipotto, Take a look here Leica, please optimize M8 jpgs. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
albertwang Posted September 19, 2006 Share #2 Posted September 19, 2006 Jpgs are useful for quick shooting on the run. If I am doing street photography I use jpgs for personal use. Clients always get the RAW treatment plus a raw steak when I have dinner with them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plexi Posted September 19, 2006 Share #3 Posted September 19, 2006 After I started using RSP for my RAW-snaps, I don`t see much use for in-camera jpgs anymore, the new RAW-converters are so effective and quick to use. From what I`ve tried Aperture and Lightroom seems to be really good products too, when they get finished and can run effectively on a normal computer.

rosuna Posted September 19, 2006 Share #4 Posted September 19, 2006 I would recommend Leica to use DNG as the only file format. JPG processing in camera is very difficult to program, and the result is not optimus, not due to compression but due to internal processing of the RAW image.

albertwang Posted September 19, 2006 Share #5 Posted September 19, 2006 But Olympus cameras don't shoot in DNG unfortunately! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvaubel Posted September 20, 2006 Share #6 Posted September 20, 2006 After I started using RSP for my RAW-snaps, I don`t see much use for in-camera jpgs anymore, the new RAW-converters are so effective and quick to use. From what I`ve tried Aperture and Lightroom seems to be really good products too, when they get finished and can run effectively on a normal computer. I used to feel that JPEGs were a waste of time but when the RD1 software upgrade offered RAW+JPEG, I tried shooting pairs as a lark. I found out that if you fool with the settings you can get some pretty darn good results. At any rate, with the M8, if you want to see what the lens coding is all about, you'll have to shoot some.

There are many among us (like myself) who are not professionally working with the M-series but are eagerly waiting for the M8. C1 seems a bit a too "heavy" application for us and the learning curve is rather steep. So indeed, some basic photoshop (element) JPEG editing would be sufficient Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP3 Posted September 20, 2006 Share #8 Posted September 20, 2006 Every D2 users here would surely knows how great a well refined out-of-the-box, in-camera jpeg could be. D2 jpegs at ISO100 is just gorgeous... At a 3 times price point, I hope M8 can achieve that, at least from 160-320. Best Matthew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
