Square sensor,..25mm X 25mm, Square pictures may be necessary for MF cameras tethered to tripods, but they are totally unnecessary for handheld cameras which can be quickly oriented vertically or horizontally. Almost all square pictures need to be cropped. This means that a square picture wastes...

Just to restate my case; all the current DSLR models are consumers goods and as such are not intended by the manufacturers to be for serious photographers any more than for spontaneous 'lay' users...this holds true despite any statements from the makers. All the current DSLR models are transit...

Frankly, it is absolutely laughable... Huh? :shock: And just how, exactly, would you acheive that 90 degree rotation in camera? You'd need a larger mirror, bigger pentaprism and viewfinder, a deeper body, and all the gubbins to rotate the sensor... or have a larger sensor that would make the camera...

Matt, I quite like the K10 too, otherwise I would not be watching this forum,....however, it's a bit of a 'curate's egg' like all the other DSLR models. "....And just how, exactly, would you acheive that 90 degree rotation in camera?.." Well, if they can make a 23mm x 15mm sensor ...

viewfinder, I thought that was your thought ;) But doing that would make the camera physically much larger to accommodate the square sensor. And right now the sensor would be much more expensive. Unfortunately, a lot of the DSLR design is driven by the size of the sensor - and the size of the se...

Matt, ".........would make the camera physically much larger..." I do concede that it would have to be alittle larger but I don't believe it would have to effectively change the size of the camera,.....the Canon 5D has a 'full-frame' sensor but is only the same size as the APS-C mode...

Well, if they can make a 23mm x 15mm sensor... And it's (probably) Sony that does that, not Pentax ;) Of course, larger sensors consume more silicon, have lower yields from a wafer and are consequently more expensive. I'd rather have lower priced 3:2 than higher priced 1:1. Matt

While I accept that you actually quite like the K10D, if you're so unhappy with its specification and handling, why do you own one? ...I don't think he does, he doesn't like the mindless complexity of it. This is the third attempt I've made to post on this subject, both other times the PC has cra...

My experience here in this forum (a pat on the back)
I think lenses can be explained quite simply, although it was even easier in the days when 35mm film ruled. SLRs were traditionally supplied with a standard lens (50mm focal length), because this lens gives approx. the same angle of view as the human eye and images therefore looked natural. Lens...

Where will Pentax be in Two Years Time?
In the past few months there have been some rather exciting developments. The technology is moving at an incredibly fast pace. Where will we be in two years and what will be the standard resolution for the masses using DSLR's. What will be at the forefront and who will be setting new precedents. ...

Where will Pentax be in Two Years Time?
It would be nice if someone could convince Pentax to re-introduce the x-sync socket while they are about it. I'm a wholehearted advocate of the sensor cleaner, shake reduction, and all the other useful innovations, but adding a little x-sync socket surely wouldn't give the designers and engineers mo...

Here's some pics on my replacement K10D then !
Let me be the first to welcome these. The first one is a great capture. It also illustrates the limitations of Shake Reduction. However steady the sensor, subject movement will always be a problem with low shutter speeds. As you say, light balance is difficult in these situations, but you'...

Horrible purple cast, not a new species of robin
If you shoot RAW, SILKYPIX does a good job of cleaning up CA. :wink:

Ok, guys, I have a couple of supplementary questions about this problem. I've cropped the top robin from my earlier shot; here it is: I'm particularly interested in a couple of bits from Liam's link here: http://wiki.panotools.org/Chromatic_aberration Firstly this: Digital photogr...

Horrible purple cast, not a new species of robin
Seeing as I raised the question of Foveon sensors recently, I find this thread particularly interesting and wonder how well that type of sensor would handle this situation. Perhaps the in-camera processing can be designed to recognise these symptoms and somehow compensate for them but if it really ...

Where's Matt? I'm not sure it's right that he feels he can have weekends off when we need him. This is a full-time job. LOL! With my family :P At the weekends I generally only have time to surf with a Pocket PC and it's pants at replying :) And it's getting a bit of a bind to skip over all the &qu...
