I took a few shots on a hike the other day. I had my XE1 set on fine jpeg BW mode with yellow filter. I am noticing lots of weird highlight renderings. Areas where white meets very light grey are not smooth, in fact very pixelated. I noticed this the other night when some of my dark areas has this abrupt gradient pixelation. What is going on here? My 5Dii would never dare pull this type of a stunt.....come to think about it, even my old Rebel XT would not render so poorly. This sure doesnt look like 16mp to me and it really bums me out in a cutting edge new camera.
