Pentax K-x White High ISO B&W Conversion

I am glad to see the Dprview on K-x conclusion. It is very much in line with my personal findings on Pentax K-x. I will need to use it more often with SR and see why DPreview don't see Pentax K-x with efficient SR. I find the mirror slapping a bit loud to my ear but in a month of shooting with various shutter in 1/100 down to 1/15 sec, I see mostly myself at faults for softer pictures, I don't see abnormal working that seem to suggest a poorer SR or too much mirror slap causing too much vibration. More use without SR and Mirror Lock UP (MLU) and planned test will hopefully clear the issues.

I tried out some b&w simple conversion in iPhoto and I only need some minor noise reduction on the two shots taken in iso 12,800 and iso 10,000, all others are just plain default NR on jpg which is set to medium in default settings.

And I really like the detail, tones, and clean shots without much work on noise right from Jpg.
