Still testing in JPEG to find the best settings for the Mk II. What are everyone else's settings?

Congrats but I would really do the right thing and give that thing some justice but taking it outside and enjoy its performance.

My initial (and incomplete) testing pushes me to the lowest contrast setting, next-to-high sharpness and slightly low saturation.

HTP testing is next.

You're correct, I have outdoor testing to do. This test was done indoors, controlled lighting (flash) and on a tripod.

Ah, I was waiting.

I'm usually a JPEG shooter, although I no longer do events/weddings so I'll be looking into RAW some more (maybe).
