K-X - K-R
For me it boils down to 4 things: Higher ISO, faster frame rates, visible AF indicator and lithium batteries. Would these four make me want to sell the K-x. Nope! It's the same image sensor at the end of the day.

K5, Kr, full frame (?) it's all to little too late
Are you talking about the gap in price between a k7 & a D700??? The sensor in the k5 & the k7 is larger than the k-x & the k-r, making it more difficult to create lower noise images at high ISO. Why do you think the d700, d3 etc are all 12 megapixel cameras but have stunning high ISO capabilit...

I've already stated in another thread that to anyone doing nature photography FF offers no advantage, unless you can get as close as you want too. :( If you have say a 400mm lens you will need to buy a 600mm lens to get the same shots......... but if your going to buy a 600mm lens you might as well ...

no i think he means the phyiscal size and there not canon aps-c is smaller than pentax sony and nikon aps-c and the pentax k20 and k7 is smaller than say the d90 and d300 only by mm vow. The sensor in the k5 & the k7 is larger than the k-x & the k-r, making it more difficult to create lower nois...

Oops created some confusion there, I was referring to the number of pixels on the sensor. I always assumed in physical size, that all Pentax (Excluding 645d) where the same size... Must check when I get 5 mins..

Frankly not that interested in K5 or Kr. I'm thinking of going digital and have always been a Pentax owner, but will now probably go for Nikon/Canon I would have gone for a K7 if the metering had been spot on and the autofocus faster. But even if these were up with Nikon/Canon levels, where Pe...

K5, Kr, full frame (?) it's all to little too late
Interesting and important topic...... I think pentax MUST make a 'FF' if they are to be taken seriously by photographers rather than camera users/consumers. The 'Toys-R-Us' stance that pentax has recently taken with kx & kr may be good for it's bean counters but it's a wrong turning as far as I...

K5, Kr, full frame (?) it's all to little too late
Ho hum. What I was trying to say was that, given I'm in the market for a switch to a digital system, Pentax doesn't quite cut the mustard compared to Nik/Can. Much as I would love to keep my film system, unfortunately, not being a Rockefeller, this will have to go some way to financing my digital...

I use 35mm film, APS-C and 135D (FF). As I would say, it's horses for courses. I wanted a FF so I bought one. I still use my Pentax kit more often than the Nikon kit mainly due to travelling and weight limitations. I do like both systems and find them similar to use. I like my 7D (Minolta got the na...

Much as I would love to keep my film system, unfortunately, not being a Rockefeller, this will have to go some way to financing my digital aspirations. I like shooting wildlife - hence fast autofocus, cracking metering (yes, I know you have to adjust to reflect the scene but the K7s metering is...

What I find hilarious is that as photographers we now argue about camera bodies the way we used to argue about film... But this makes sense, when you think about it. In film days there were three main technological components a photographer needed to purchase: lens, camera, film. Now there are two: ...

If Pentax could produce a FF camera without bankrupting themselves and if it was an affordable price I would be happy. Those are, however, two very big "ifs" and I do not think that not having a FF camera is the deal breaker some people would argue it is, especially as they now have the 645D as thei...

take a 645d... place a second set of kx /k7 electronics inside it... yank out the mirror and replace it with a fixed pellicle mirror, take out the viewfinder screen and pentaprism and replace it with the image sensor from the kx/k7.... use the lcd as part of the evf system.... record video throug...

Don,.....'now you're cooking with gas!!' That's the kind of innovation that pentax used to use!..... ........I can't help but feel that the camera makers are dragging their feet, although I notice that the electronics firms like Panasonic and Samsung are keen to move things on. now that I think...
