K10
Better images? No. They use the same sensor so all else being equal the images should be too. Better handling? Yes. Twin control wheels, more external controls and brighter pentaprism viewfinder means the K10 should be a more pleasant and intuitive shooting experience - which may, of course, lead...

K10
I have read arguments that the K200's image quality is better than the K10D's, or even the K20D's, thanks to newer technolgy and processing in the camera, regardless of what the sensor itself is like. Anyway, a K10D/K20D/K-7 would be more enjoyable for the reasons Hefty mentions. Used K10D bod...

A higher high-end for Pentax. Just a dream?
And what's going on with the Kx's awesome high ISO noise performance? Can we please get a K7 Super with the Kx sensor installed? That would negate the K7's biggest downside.

I want higher-end. Be patient, the 645D is about as high-end as you'll get with a Pentax badge on it. There is little chance that Pentax will produce a camera with a FF sensor.

The K7 is a pro spec camera on a par with models like the Nikon D300s, but more compact and with some advantages in image quality. I fully agree with this, totally. But I assume what Drew is after is more efficient or should I say faster AF system, which I am afraid Pentax bodies do not offer a...

One thing I agree with him though, as far as my experience goes Pentax could have provided with a better noise performance system with the K7. Not saying its bad but I think they could have done better. Simple....shoot RAW and you will not have a problem :wink: K-7 RAW files have been demonstrated...

[ K-7 RAW files have been demonstrated to be on par with all the other cropped sensor cameras in the competing bracket. And what is that competing bracket cameras? :roll: And yes I do shoot RAW. Yes I find K7 iso performance good, but I also find that it could have been better.

In my opinion if you need to print A2 or bigger and that's your day to day profession, you have to shoot with a Hasselblad, or a Leaf digital back. At most with a D3x or DS MIII. I cannot understand the need for higher ISO performance in a pro-spec consumer camera like the K7. Amin, I don't know...

Think a higher end camera would be a great idea, even if it's just there to be a 'halo' product, or a product to aspire to, or to make a 'more complete ecosystem' just so that Pentax would be taken more seriously. Maybe it doesn't 'have' to be that high end at all. Whilst I would love an equivale...

Okay another noise question. Do you think noise is improved on the K7 over the K20D? There really is nothing in between them to be honest, you can even argue the K20D is better and that camera is 4 years old almost and so is his sensor. They could at least improve noise right, also the sensor in ...

If your job (See JOB not HOBBY) requires you to often print in large sizes, THEN you need a different camera from the K7, or the 7D. Nathan Not sure how you define JOB and HOBBY. I don't make my living out of photography, but then again I do not need to. But on the other hand what income should y...

Stefan, I can see the results between the K20 and K7 - but remember that the K7 uses the same sensor with a new, much faster image processing engine. So I can perfectly understand why they have comparable results and the K20 be even a bit better. Regarding the Kx the answer is simple - 1 its...

:lol: when you read some comments here it makes you wonder how on earth they could make photos in the 1800, they could only dream about auto focus, high iso and other stuff we've today. But just for fun look back at the specs of what is considered the real first digital pro camera, the Nikon D1. ...

Yeah the sensor looks good. Although the canon way isn't for me, I don't like their camera design. The Nikon D700 looks like a great camera for instance, have you seen the iso performance of that thing, although a bit expensive though. :?
