And here, for those who don't realise this was late afternoon sun flat on a subject through oddly moisture-laden, almost yellow-filter coloured air... is a really badly oversharpened, shadow clipped, auto white balanced, contrast boosted, faked up conversion from the raw file. Now you may actually prefer this, or something between. It loses detail technically, no doubt about that; increasing the sharpness from 25 to 50 destroys fine detail while enhancing coarse edges. The point is if you shoot raw, and use a good lens, you can do almost anything with the image from the A100. It can look dead neutral to the point of almost not being a recognisable shot in a thumbnail, or it can look like an EBX or Velvia slide, or like an old Orwochrom. Actually I think I should have called this 'ORWOCHROM UT18 look' instead. But in the digital age not many photogs remember UT 18...
