Full frame DSLR ?
it would actually make more sense to drop samsungs new sensor into the 645d. if they put some serious computer power in there as well. hell then I'd be happy to drop some money on a new portrait lens, and body. but I still want 60-200 fps image capture, and an export to 1080p hdv.

I am not going to say to much, about this issue. Time will tell I think. But if Pentax is smart, they go the same route as Nikon did, with their FX sensor in the D3. FF for the wide angles, and the benefit of a cropped sensor when using tele. Best of both worlds, and user friendly. Martin.

Say you are the CEO of Nikon. Your main competitor, a much bigger company, makes its own CMOS sensors. Another, up and coming, competitor, a much bigger company, makes your sensors. A third company, also massive, has just produced a 14MP CMOS APS-C sensor. You might think of approaching ...

Full frame DSLR ?
When you asked for a link, I just googled for it, copied and pasted it here within 20 seconds. Finding this information is easy enough. I did actually google myself prior to asking and found the link you posted, but frankly assumed you had something far more substantive to base your position on. Re...

Blimey, lots of 'apparently' 'haven't seen' 'It seems' 'without basing this on much' 'I would assume' 'I would guess' and 'I don't know' in there! Basically what you are saying is, you don't know, to be honest, nor do I!!! Hence the Soap opera comment! I was piecing together what is possible from...

Standard lens for K10D
Until the Mk 2 came along, the 18-55 was considered to be the best kit lens made by any manufacturer. As with any lens, you need to know its strenghths and weaknesses, then play to the strengths. As they say, in another context, "it's not what you've got, it's how you use it". As JR p...

K200D how good is the battery life in reality?
From what I can see the *main* differences between the K100D Super and the K200D are the sensor and weather sealing (200 has it, 100 doesn't). The K100D Super has the 6MP sensor that was used in the previous generations of Pentax DSLRs (*istD/DS/DL) - it has a base ISO of 200 and a maximum of 320...

To shake or not to shake part 2
The SR system can be fooled to believe that a moving subject is camera shake. I see no way that this can be true. Pentax publishes . In it, it says this: How does the SR system control hand shake? By calculating a correction value from the amount of shake detected through the gyro sensor,...

To shake or not to shake part 2
If it only works by using the gyro's for detecting motion why do they tell you to turn it off while using a tripod then? If it uses the gyro's then it shouldn't matter if the camera is completely stable because the gyro's do not detect any movement so the sensor should remain on the same location...

If it uses the gyro's then it shouldn't matter if the camera is completely stable because the gyro's do not detect any movement so the sensor should remain on the same location... Indeed, for worse results with SR on, on a tripod. It's not quite as simple as this, though, since when you release...

Autobracketing + self-timer in K200D ?
Because the 2 sec. delay is a fixed time, and it would be technically very hard and costly to create some kind of coupling between the two functions. Why do you say this, Martin? It would only have to meter once. And then once the mirror was up, if it can open and close the shutter once, I don...

Not a dirty sensor
Well, at least I don't have to clean the sensor, just wipe the foot-prints off the lens :lol:

Ha, I wondered where my avatar had gone, that's why I changed it to something else. Glad to see hes back now though.

Not a dirty sensor
You laugh, but I kid you not, I had something nearly that big on the sensor. There was this heowwwwwwwge thing on a few of the photos, and I gave the innards a blast with the rocket. And a great lump of something, easily big enough to see, fell out. Not floated out, fell out. How it got in...

Not a dirty sensor
I'm not laughing, I have a bit of a strange problem, where I get, what I assume is dirt on the sensor, but it only appears intermittently, maybe on 10% of shots, and not even on consecutive shots, note the top R/H corner, a close up here, I assume it's a virus I caught from 'Clarky',...

I'm not laughing, I have a bit of a strange problem, where I get, what I assume is dirt on the sensor, but it only appears intermittently, maybe on 10% of shots, and not even on consecutive shots, note the top R/H corner, Is it always in the same place? If so, then I think it has to be something on...

Maybe the muck gets Shifted about by the action of the mirror and the movement of the shutter curtains?
