While we were in W. Wales we also went to Tenby, (doesn't everybody?).

The night before we decided to visit the ancient walled town of Tenby, I was sitting in the caravan playing with the ISO settings of the Samsung NX 300. Like many others before me, I forgot to reset the ISO to 100, which is the setting that I try to leave the camera on, for the highest image quality that I can get out of the camera. So on the day we visited Tenby I was taking pictures at ISO 3200, instead of ISO 100. Now, normally, on my other cameras, I would have picked up the decreased IQ immediately upon chimping the image after capture. But with the Samsung NX 300, I was oblivious to my mistake, and carried on shooting all day with this "silly," ISO setting. In fact, I didn't notice my mistake until I got back home and reviewed the images on my pc. With my previous cameras, there would have been a terrible degredation, IMHO, of IQ. More so as I was shooting in jpg mode, and not RAW. In fact, I haven't found the need of shooting in RAW, since I started using this camera. Take a look at the image below. It is one of Tenby's walls, with a Greek Restarant inset. Look at tteh dark interior of the restaurant. Not perfect, no, but highly acceptable. Again, this is my opinion, and I would not hesitate to print out this image. Remember, this is a straight outb of camera, shot. I have done nothing at all to this image except upload it here. No MR, no horizon straightening, NOTHING, just up here to you.  :-)
