kx and k7 both officially discontinued?
but that does not mean Nikon is in the sensor manufacturing business or even the design (although collaborating on the electronics and end use of such a sensor could indeed affect the sensors ultimate design). The first link for the D700/D3 does show that it is a Nikon developed sensor and is coded...

I'm sure I read that Nikon were planning to use 'their own' sensors in all future DSLRs.

it seems possible that Pentax is releasing a auto 110 sized camera. possibly with the auto 110 mount or c mount. Look up Pentax's cctv lens lineup to get an idea of what pentax COULD release for this camera... it has a small sensor, compact camera sized sensor smaller than micro 4/3's.... the nc-1 ...

A CCTV lens with a sensor no bigger than the average consumer P&S? Be still, my heart... I suppose there might be a niche for it, but I struggle to see the point :? I hope this rumour is unfounded, although Hoya have released just such a camera through the Kenko brand...

Well the Kenko one doesn't seem to have video. Maybe they should stick to making coffee :? If Pentax follow that line - fine, it's an interesting novelty item. Maybe with sensor development the IQ might improve a few years down the line (looking at Pentax compacts, it's not quite there yet) an...

R you happier with your camera then your rivals?
I know there have been a few problems with the K-r front focussing, and the stains on the K5 sensor, but are most people happy with their choice of cams?. Why do I ask? Well yesterday I found by accident your "rival" forum. Flipping heck, it seems just about everybody is moaning, winging, whinin...

I think there's a slightly more level-headed approach to faults here than elsewhere. Every brand makes mistakes, what counts is how they respond to them. Pentax have recognised the sensor marks problem on K-5s and are offering a repair service to everyone suffering from it, by most accounts they're ...

Is the K-7 so bad...!!!
IMHO K20 is not enough of an upgrade from the K10, go for K5 you have a decent landscape lens anyway so what would you upgrade to? If you get the K7 you are buying "old" technology which although good is by definition a step behind the current model. Also the larger sensor on the K5 will give you h...

Is the K-7 so bad...!!!
I think you're on the right lines but bear in mind that the K7 sensor is showing it's age pitted against the K5, even the Kr. It's not just high ISO noise, there's also the issue of pushing exposures in post processing - you are more limited by the shadow noise levels with the K7, even at the lowest...

Also the larger sensor on the K5 Since when does the K5 has a larger sensor?:?::?::?: Higher definition doesn't necessarily means a larger sensor. Using such terms could mislead some people.

I'd say, for landscape shots anyway, you'll notice the step from K10D to K20D much moreso than K20D to K7 - I wasn't so sure myself before I made the move but the K20D sensor definitely provides more detail than the K10D, there's unlikely to be any difference in this respect between the K20D & K7, t...

Excellent website. The K-5 is stunning at high ISO levels. Up to 1600 there's very little difference between the K-7 & K-5 but above that the K-5's class really shows. Disagree. [select the dynamic range tab]

Ok everyone. I've listened to you all and have made a decision. Looks like I'll have a change of plan and go for the K-5. This is not to say for one minute there is anything wrong with the K-7, but I'll admit the K-5 does appear superior in quite a few aspects. Will I be as happy with the K-7 as I w...

K-x and long range remote
I have three IR remotes all of which work on the K-x but none stretch to more than about 4 metres in daylight. Made worse by the fact the sensor is on the front which means unless you are taking a photo of yourself you have to add the distance from the camera to the subject plus your distnce from th...
