Sonly 6MP CCD in the D50, D40, *ist D, *ist D2, *ist DS, K100 and K100D Super Sony 10MP CCD sensor in the D80, D200, K10D and the K200 Sony 16MP CMOS in the D7000 and K-5 The newer FX sensors may still be built at a Sony plant as there are few mature image sensor plants. Yes you can convert any...

So we say that Pentax have had an input to some of the sensor design and along with their software have produced excellent IQ. The D7000 and K5 seem very close in IQ and low noise to assume that they are common manufacture to two different standards though? Do you have any links to Pentax input t...

The only common sensor that I know of between Pentax and Nikon is the K5 and D7000. I don't think Nikon used Samsung sensors? Which other Pentax/Nikon cameras have shared a Sony sensor? Surely, the K200D used the same sensor as the Nikon D80, yes? Or was it the other way round? Geoff

In camera SR, sometimes use it but remember its a Minolta inception that is also used by Sony. That just isn't relevent. Pentax implemented the system in their cameras. If we're going to start debating the inception of concepts in the context of this discussion, we might as well argue that Pentax ha...

Colour quality is a very important feature as far as I'm concerned. I did a photo shoot (PU Magazine, "Shooting Girls") with a friend of mine and the images from my Pentax were vibrant and warm. The images from his Fuji S2 were neutral and bland. Presumably that just depends on the in-camera process...

No. Lens design and lens coating have a big effect on the quality of the image. In post-processing you can't put back what wasn't captured in the first place. You can try, by playing with saturation or whatever, but it's not the same. G I know but we are deliberately excluding lenses, after al...

My OP intent was to look at the photographic equivalent of a sylus/cartridge/arm to pre-amp set up. Assuming that the the platter performance is "ideal". If you consider tethered shooting, then it's lens, sensor and cable to? Best regards

What makes an image?
The mix of everything makes up the whole and the whole has a character of its own. Agreed. That was what I was trying to get at, in my own roundabout way. A Pentax RAW file (as well as any other mark) processed in any suitable software does not reflect the whole and can be made to look good or bad d...

Colour quality is a very important feature as far as I'm concerned. As colour quality and how this varies between Canon, Nikon, Pentax etc. has come up a few times it got me thinking about how sensors work and what role the camera might have to play in colour quality above and beyond the role of the...

K5 / KX / K10 which 2 would you keep and why?
The K10's sensor narrowly beats the K20D and K-7 sensors for DR so I wouldn't really be tempted by the K-7. I really like the amount of detail that the K10D captures even though high sensitivity performance is poor. The Samsung CMOS is only better because of the higher resolution masking more noi...

K7 K5 Gross Over Exposure Problem
Yes please, let's see the correctly exposed version. As things stand, 1/8s, f3.5 and ISO560 would imply quite dark conditions. My first thought is improper connection between lens and body, causing the lens to operate at maximum aperture. This would be possibly cured by cleaning lens and body el...

K7 K5 Gross Over Exposure Problem
Dear Peter - No offence was meant or intended - sorry if it was taken that way. However I would think 30 years with the Pentax mount is quite a time to get used to it, although not a lifetime. My frustration is that all the equipment was new in both cases. The K5 was with the 18-55mm, which came ...

K7 K5 Gross Over Exposure Problem
I cleaned the mount on mine a few weeks ago and it came off black! It didn't look dirty until I started cleaning it and realised how bad it was.

K7 K5 Gross Over Exposure Problem
Billy, let me clarify that there can only be seconds between shots that do and do not work when this fault, and it is a fault, develops. It's either a user-remedied cleaning or, if not, then a more serious repair to the stop down mechanism. When I experienced it getting gradually worse, then a sw...
