[QUOTE="Village Idiot, post: 486408, member: 29446"] The pixelation comes from using a crappy program and photobucket. If you uploaded to a site like flickr and downsized your photos to a viewable size like 800x533, then when you uploaded them, you would lose no real IQ. If you just changed them to .jpg and uploaded them to photobucket, photobucket shrinks the photos and you end up with a crappy result when you don't do it yourself. Also, view the photo at it's full res if you're not. Look at their teeth. Even with the original you posted, you can see artifacts from a resize that I can pretty much gaurantee aren't in the original. This was using an L lens that is posted in the Zoo thread: [IMG]http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1159/1392949729_346bf128a9_o.jpg[/IMG] Even on the original 8mp image, I could zoom in and see individual furs. It's still incredibly sharp and retains a very high IQ, despite being resized from 3500 pixels at it's widest point, to 800 pixels. Plus, if you take a RAW straight from a camera, it has nothing done to it. If you take a .JPG out, it will probably look better 9 out of 10 times because the cameras so sharpening and level adjustments in camera. That's why it's more tedious to work with RAW to get a good picture. There's some things that -need- to be adjusted with every single RAW image for the most part. Even with Pentax lenses, I'm pretty sure that if you buy a lens that cost $500 more than one with the exact same focal length, the the more expensive lens is going to use higher quality glass and yeild a sharp, better picture. Even other manufactures have lenses that are cheap and aren't known for being sharp. If you want to test out what your lenses can do, take a picture of a $20 on a wall and zoom in to 100%. You should be able to view every last line and detail without losing anything to blur. [/QUOTE]
