So how good is the K-5 sensor

in raw the k5 has a lot less colour noise than the 7000d, but more than the 7d, compare it to the 7d which looks better here than both, but also the nikon and canon are sharper. in jpeg the at iso 12800 the k5,7000d.7d look close but i would say the 7d is first then the 7000d then the k5. They are ...

So how good is the K-5 sensor

Just seen - compare RAW at high ISO and the K5 appears to be significantly better than the Canon D60 or the Nikon D7000 (by at least 1 stop) Going by that comparison @ ISO 12800 I dont think the K-5 outperforms the D7000. Looks very very close to me, infact I may even give it to the Nikon. It is cl...

it the af i wanna know about, as for iso it looks cracking. I really can't say for certain as I have been working loads this week to to others being sick and also the weather has been bloody terrible but certainly the DA* lenses seem to have a lot more urgency to them on the K-5.

So how good is the K-5 sensor

It's seriously splitting hairs to judge a winner (IMO). Do you think so? I thought the K-5 was much better at the high ISOs. A lot more than a hair split.

So how good is the K-5 sensor

Yes even at 100% I don't think the difference between the K-5 and d7000 is that significant (and as Mhuni says it seems to vary depending on which bit of the image you zoom in on) and as soon as you've pp'ed and printed, i'm sure it'd be impossible to tell. I don't think anyone buying the d7000 or k...

So how good is the K-5 sensor

I have been taking photo's for the past week with my K-5 and am really pleased at the picture quality - I'm shooting at high ISO's I would never have dreamed of attempting with my last camera (Canon 500d). As I work in Jessops, I've had plenty of opportunity to try all the other contenders and am de...

As I work in Jessops, I've had plenty of opportunity to try all the other contenders and am delighted that I switched systems. Maybe just the person .. WHY did Jessops stop selling Pentax gear? Was it Pentax stopping their credit (also heard the same rumour for Sigma) or something else?

Aplogies if this has been linked before. It's all good stuff. Never saw this amount of activity in a LONG time. One comment on another thread said that the K5 & D7000 are distant cousins. I say the companies are watching each other with great respect. My overall impression? The cameras...

So how good is the K-5 sensor

I hate to say this but I think the Nikon images are a tad better, there may be more noise but there is also more detail, especially evident in the very high ISO shots. But who really cares? god help us if we become a bunch of pixel peepers. My K5 is fuinctioning quite well enough for my present ...

They often use a Sigma prime lens that's available in all mounts for testing.

Interesting discussion about the K5 here: Quite a strange experience to read such positive comments about Pentax by non-Pentaxians.
