CCD vs CMOS
THank you. And thanks for all of your replies.I've never made a side by side comparison between the K5 and K10, perhaps I will one day. My feelings about the K10 are simply an impression and a preference: I cannot say its images are "better". I'm also prepared to concede that I don't get the be...

CCD vs CMOS
For those asking for a side by side comparison. A couple of shots taken this morning from my back garden, using FA 31Ltd @ F8 on K5 and K10. A little sunshine between the clouds, ISO was set at 100. Colour balance was set at AWB. Metering by Pattern. The images were imported into CS6 by ACR, n...

CCD vs CMOS
that was my concern ..... i think smeggy said earlier that a ccd camera will still be working in 50 years time. is that feasable? How can we know the extent of the components lifecycle based on our present position along it? I've got electronic musical stuff from the early 70s that's still working. ...

I couldn't be less interested in arguing with you Smeggy, if you're actually interested, I suggest you start at the wiki article on electromigration and read around from there. The longer my K10 lasts, the happier I will be, but I wouldn't bet a penny on it seeing its 20th birthday. I wasn't argu...

Having been in a photographic limbo for a long time, this might be enough to tempt me into taking pictures again. Welcome back Chris :wink:

And another couple of things! Using the Flucard and an IoS/Android app you can geo-tag the shots on the card in camera. It has focus peaking in LV.

Think it's slightly larger Nigel, hence a new grip is needed. Focus peaking yay! Well I already have this on my el cheapo K30 but nice to know.

Hmm the focus button doesnt look so joysticky on that photo, im guessing its just a button to turn the 4 way buttons into focus select mode which is a little more intuitive.

and ongoing disappointment with the K-5 AF speed for fast jets and fast birds (which is mostly what I like photographing the most). I normally find that the people that moan about the K-5 AF just don't know how to use the camera properly. All you have to do is pre-focus on the area where you think...

Well all the wildlife photographers moan about it including me. I think it is really about being focused on one thing, something appears somewhere else (often in the sky) and by the time the AF has done a bit of searching and hunting it's gone! Dave I thought it was just so blatantly obvious that I...
