Why don’t you ask “your” brand for a decent RAW converter? I know, each Pentax user defends “his” brand til the bitter end, but somehow the question remains unresolved why “your” brand became insignificant? There was a supercool LX, a very great 6×7 decades ago and… well, the Km, Kr, Kx simply didn’t deliver enough reasons to not switch brand 12 years ago. But if a lot of these come to DxO PL with it’s rather limited functionality without FilmPack and ViewPoint, not to mention the less than lousy DAM – that remains doubtful.ītw., it’s not “your” brand, but Ricoh’s, and they want to go the “customizing” way, like they did with all the colourful plastic bodies. Some customers who stepped into the C1 realm because of the cheaper versions will stay onboard, others abandon ship, so far, so normal. But I’m glad you found your RAW converter of choice.Ĭapture One was probably sponsored by Fujifilm, SONY and Nikon. Second, if you compare an app with a lot of features another app doesn’t have and this other app need (!) additional apps at additional costs to deliver the same spectrum of features, you’re not acting exactly fair. Although pretty capable cameras, this brand is no longer “popular”, just check different shopping malls. Of course you have a different opinion on that, but I don’t recall to have seen a Pentax somewhere else than in the 2nd hand shelves during the past 5 years. For which Capture One was programmed originally. I really don’t care if the two apps get the very same identical results as long as I get fast and secure enough to the results I want.įirst, your camera brand is not popular enough for C1 - but neither are PhaseOne bodies for the majority of us. What good is a racing car if it’s loosing it’s tyres twice a day?ĭxO has the lead in ClearView and DeepPrime - but I don’t often do “side-by-side comparisons”, so my judgement is only relevant to me. So far I always could fix it, but that makes the 10-20% more speed (didn’t measure, but it’s not tremendous) a bit questionable. Tethered shooting with C1 - does PL offer something like that? DxO is slower in exporting, C1 21 is crashing rather often on my machine and leaves it’s database in a mess. I usually like layers of C1 better than PL’s awkward “local adjustments”. And PL still behind in terms of DAM, manufacturer lens support, better “filmstrip” browser and a couple of more features. However, if you add to PL what a lot of users here added to make it at least work better (perspective and film stuff are onboard on C1, an image viewer with sort of advanced DAM functions as well), the pricing is more or less equal. Well, the last “22” version I also skip as the new features are either a bit lame (panorama is rather mediocre) or I don’t need it. Personally, I gave up on C1 a while ago because off their excessive pricing.
