Nikon, as a rule, does not disclose the particulars of its technology readily or easily.... For instance, Nikon raves about the Expeed 3 processor but I am not sure what role it plays in the cameras overall function. Is it primarily for processing JPEG's or or does it have broader role to play in the camera's function? Perhaps someone with a clearer understanding of this could educate me as to why it is so important
Thanks Fish. I read the link and now now no more than i did before. Whoever wrote it probably also writes political speeches. I will just keeping shooting in Raw and ignoring any in camera processing.Nikon, as a rule, does not disclose the particulars of its technology readily or easily.
Regarding the different processors, here's what they have to say: "The different generations of processor [e.g. Expeed 2 vs. Expeed 3, 4, etc.] will indicate improvements in areas such as processing speed, image quality, color reproduction and noise reduction, but we will not reveal the specific changes within each model."
