¿alguien que nos pueda traducir este fragmento en condiciones? yo creo que aquí está la madre del cordero en cuanto a los temas de nitidez, reveladores de los raw ... etc (lo siento, pero mi ingles es pésimo y los traductores online no me terminan de aclara el tema

)
In the table above, mousing over a link at the bottom will load the corresponding crop in the area above. Examples include in-camera Fine JPEG, in-camera Extra-Fine JPEG, RAW file processed through Sony's Image Data Converter SR version 2 software, and RAW file processed through Adobe Camera Raw version 4.2, then sharpened in Photoshop. (I've found that sharpening results in ACR are inferior to those obtained with the Unsharp Masking tool in Photoshop itself. For the Sony A700's images, I found best results with no sharpening at all in ACR and then 250% unsharp masking with an 0.3 pixel radius.)
Apologies for the slight exposure difference above, between the Fine and Extra Fine examples, one was shot with the default settings, the other in Extra Fine mode but with the contrast explicitly set to the middle value, which apparently changed the exposure slightly. We'll try to reshoot when we're back out with the A700, when we get the second kit lens. ACR also renders colors somewhat differently than either the A700 or the Sony software, so the greens in the trees are rather different. There's no mistaking the increase in detail though, regardless of changes in color or tone.
The images themselves tell the story: Even in its Extra-Fine JPEGs, the Sony A700 loses considerable image detail. (As some readers have pointed out to me, fairness demands mentioning that it's not alone in this; Many current cameras give up a lot of subtle detail in forming their JPEGs. I'll be evaluating this going forward, will hopefully be sharing some comparisons with our readers at some point in the future.)
In the case of the Sony A700, careful processing of its RAW files delivers really exceptional detail and tonal nuance. It's very, very worthwhile spending the time to process the A700's RAW images, rather than working with its JPEGs. You'll certainly still get acceptable snapshot-quality images from the JPEGs, but the RAW image quality is really of an entirely different level.
