Sensor Density...How dense can we go?
There are other factors at play here. One is sensor type (CCD, back side illuminated, Foveon, and probably others that I am unaware of), another is advances in manufacturing technology and the inventiveness of engineers. Interestingly CCD - which is old tec, noisy, and limited in functionality - i...

Sensor Density...How dense can we go?
Anyhow, if all things were equal, the main advantage for me in higher pixel count is the potential it offers for more extreme cropping. as a video shooter I can attest that the image quality when you crop in from FF to APS-c on the a7III or the extended zoom function (same thing) on the NX80 there's...

Problem with X5
I recommended a Pentax X5 bridge camera to a friend a few years ago and it hasn't exactly been smooth sailing. It wouldn't turn on after a month of light use and was repaired under warranty. Since then, he has had it repaired twice for focus issues. Now, it won't turn on, even with a new battery. I...

'Upgrade to K-1' quandary...
I keep thinking about this too. I have a five year old K-3 and have yet to find it limits what I do. I'm not into photographing fast moving things. For me (and this is very personal): Pros My 28mm shift would be more useful. My many other film era lenses would be the AOV intended. My 35mm ...

'Upgrade to K-1' quandary...
I was in your boat before with a K3ii, 16-50, 50-135mm etc but took the plunge and built it back up over the years with full frame lenses. Best decision I ever made :wink:

'Upgrade to K-1' quandary...
My first DSLR was a Samsung GX-10. (Pentax K 10D equivalent) Coming from a Pentax LX I wanted to remain with the Pentax brand that I'd always been with. The shop at the time only had the Samsung version in stock and it was at a knock down price so I went with it. I loved it from day one. In due cour...

my switch from aps-c to FF involved: switching brands to Sony mirrorless. adapting all my legacy FF manual focus lenses for shooting video on the Sony. one adapter with aperture ring for my aps-c da lenses... adapting my Pentax wr100 for portrait and macro work on the Sony. setting my k3 kit asi...

'Upgrade to K-1' quandary...
Size, weight and cost are really the main reasons not to go to a K-1, and in "cost" I include selling off APS-C lenses and spending money on FF lenses. For me it's primarily cost but also weight for travelling and my attachment to the DA Limited lenses. The DA limiteds I'm not at all acquainted w...

'Upgrade to K-1' quandary...
I really don't know which old film lenses Stub bought which were "rubbish". All the K1 photos submitted here by me are 'old glass' and most have been well received. There is a reason, for example, why the SMC Pentax-FA 80-320mm is so expensive, despite its age - it can give a DA* a run for its mon...

Go for the K-1, you will not be disapointed. I have both K-5II and K-50, but only use them as backup, the K-1 us superb. Thanks for this! I have since upgraded to one which is now back with the supplier having a seal seen to! It is a belter of a camera. That being said I’m missing having the came...

Antarctica Trip
Keep a spare battery or two in a pocket to keep them warm. You probably won't have a problem with condensation. I never did on my winter Arctic trips, but if you do put the camera in a ziplock bag and remove as much air as you can before you take it back inot the warm. Add either a towel or those ...
