out of focus areas are horribly pixellated.
Would this be normal for a DSRL?

Looks like my future digital 'carry everywhere' camera is taken care of 🙂

They are as they should be - blurred. I can't see any pixelation other than that which can be seen when viewing the file at scales substantially larger than 100% (which is perfectly normal).

Yup, as I suspected, it's not processing the RAF file, just extracting the 'thumbnail' / embedded .jpg from it for quick viewing and some minor editing. That's what I was trying to describe before - same thing Photo Mechanic does.

Irfanview (free) with the plugins (free) for it will open the RAF files. But I'm not sure what I'm looking at as there are are only a tiny number of settings when the open takes place so its not as though I can specify any conversion options.

The metadata in all these low light examples, though, shows that the flash fired. I would love to see some low light shots with the X100 with only available light, which is how I would use the camera. And some lowlight shots with the lens wide open, not at f/4.

We're basically saying the same thing. My point is just that what Irfanview is showing you is an in-camera jpg that is part of the RAW file, not the RAW data itself; you're basically able to edit the jpg just like you would any in-camera jpg.

So I don't think we can say it's OPENING the RAW file, since you can't see or use any of the extra data available. It's just skimming the file for the thumbnail that's included in it. Which is fine, if you don't also have a full-res jpg of the same subject!
