K5, Kr, full frame (?) it's all to little too late
Reading this tread has been interesting yet very frustrating. Yes FF would be desirable, but nowadays not necessary. Yes you get more resolution and less susceptable to noise at hi ISO's. But think about it we now have APS-C cameras providing seriously good images at anything up to 6400ISO. Even ...

K5, Kr, full frame (?) it's all to little too late
As my previous posts have illustrated, I get darned tired of people trotting out the same old full-frame complaints. I recognises that Pentax does not now and will not in the near future make such a beast, so those who want it should go elsewhere. Nonetheless, I refuse to side with ill-constructed r...

Agree with Robin particularly the last point. Take that point to it's locgical conclusion and we can all sell our DSLRs and use our phone-cams. Yeah, but my iPhone 4 has a bigger sensor than your ............... I'll go get the popcorn! :wink:

S PLEASE shoot the same subject with k20 and then D3...use a tripod and keep to 1/125 sec....RAW files. Make BIG prints (some of us only make large prints) ...now blow up a corner of each and post them here Unfortunately for you, with the situation you describe, the K20D will show more details, IF...

Pentax were going to use the same full size sensor as the original Contax DSLR. It's good they didn't because results from the Contax were poor and the price was very high. Pentax have since gone the APS-C route with great success, so I'm not sure what point you are making?

I have no desire for a FF pentax. What if the frame of traditional film SLR cameras had been the same size as the current APS-C size? Would peeps still be wanting a bigger sensor then? Yes bigger pixels = better quality, all other things being equal, but where do you stop. Why not hanker af...

Confirmed specifications for the K-5
pentax hopefully will release a camera that can go toe to toe with this and at least go the full nine rounds, if it doesn't win, it needs to be a contender... I see this body and the fast thirty five lens as being Nikons attempt to attract the new generation of photo/video shooters..... thi...

Confirmed specifications for the K-5
Real test for potential K-5 will be how will it compare to Nikon's D7000 (16.2 Mpix sensor, 100% coverage pentaprism, HD movies with constant AF, 2 SD slots, Nikons new AF ;), and potentially similar price ).

shooting video with Pentax kx
Can't give you any K-x experience Don, but what I can share about the K-7 may help? Check the gallery link in my sig, in there is a video of the speeches of a friends wedding 2 weeks ago. It was a spur of the moment decision to film it as there was no one else with a video camera, and it wasn't t...

Highlights are very poor compared to medium or large format film and noise is a problem with the shadows due to the limited way in which this information is digitally stored.

If I approached this one, my first feeling would be that I'd return at a better time of day when the building was lit. Then there would be no problem, and arguably the image would be more dramatic. A matter of taste and also of logisticsa - is it possible to be there at a better time? Is the buildin...

"The more bits you have the greater the magnitude between the highest and lowest light levels you can store. For every bit you double the distance between the brightest and the dimmest light level you can store. Doubling ( or halving ) the level of a signal, whether that is light or sound, is 6dB. t...

Official K-5 specs !!!
I think your complicating this far too much especially bringing in audio. The number of colours you have does not increase the dynamic range. It might make it possible to measure it more accurately, between the lowest and highest, but who's interested in measuring the DR to 0.00001 of a stop anyw...

Yup that's why the dynamic range is firstly determined by the sensor and then by the number of bits in the digital signal path. I'd be interested to know the DR of the sensors. Isn't the DxOMark sensor test any use. Obviously the K-5 hasn't been done yet. The K7 comes out worse than the K20D...
