Noise Test
I stand corrected on my previous opinion of Panasonics JPEG engine. Check the original of this image. Left is JPEG out of
camera, right is RAW corrected for sharpness and noise reduction in LR. Notice the difference. The JPEG would be totally useless for print. The right is acceptable considering it was shot at 6400 ISO, 250mm hand-held at 1/125 second.
I've come to the conclusion that my problem lies with the noise and sharpness corrections in camera. I'll have to see if there is not some way to turn those completely off.
