When a Pentax Full Frame
I'm with Smeggy here. The K5 is a more than incremental increase over the K7 (I have both). The sensors are different and the K5's sensor rates amongst the best there is of any FF or APS-C camera. I'm sure the new sensor with extra MP and the extended DR would help when you blow up your shots - ...

When a Pentax Full Frame
I always hear this story about R&D costs. Can somebody elaborate a bit on that? Body In my eyes, it's just another sensor. It might be simplistic but the only (re)development that I see will probably be the SR mechanism (heavier sensor with different behaviour); and I guess that applies everytim...

I don't want a Full Frame camera. I've just started buting Sigme DC (Digital Camera Only ie. DX sized sensor) lenses!! Regards

Hefty1 .... I absolutely do not agree with you. If it is your philosophy I do not understand why you went to APS-C . The smaller sensors are full of positive aspects except for quality when printing. The 127 or 120 are exactly the same in terms of negative dimension and belive me you still make exe...

The 127 or 120 are exactly the same in terms of negative dimension and belive me you still make execellent picture with 120 negatives (while printing). 127 film is 4cm across, 120 film is 6cm across. I have several cameras that take 120 film and a couple that take 127 film - the difference is that ...

When a Pentax Full Frame
I was once of the opinion that Pentax might produce a full frame digital body. I no longer have that opinion because :- 1) Any pro's requiring full frame will already have a huge investment in equipment from other makers, Nikon and Canon. Pentax does not have the range of lenses that pro's think ...

Lets say SLR film cameras had always used the frame size of APS-C. Would you still want a 35mm frame size? All these frame sizes are arbitrary. Sensors will evolve in the APS-C size that will out perform any of today's FF sensors. The K-5 sensor is the current step the this evolution. Less and ...

And Digital Medium Format is bigger still. 35mm is a halfway measure no longer of relevance. OTOH it offers the ideal form factor of 35mm SLRs with IQ and DOF possibilities closer to (if not rivalling) digital MF. You could imagine a future market dominated by small EVIL cameras and FF cameras, w...

Am I being whooshed here ? Why on earth would any manufacturer stop making crops when this is what the majority of buyers want ? Most buyers of DSLRs don't want the expense / weight of large DSLRs. Your average punter hasn't got a clue about sensor size. Pentax had their fingers burnt with the...

Well, it's kinda funny that no one mentioned next D700 (D800?) with FF sensor will easily beat k-5. Some people just want/need the best gear and that's why FF's are there. That's why so many people are wanting/waiting for FF Pentax just like cintelli. Newer APS-C will catch up eventually but there ...

Well, it's kinda funny that no one mentioned next D700 (D800?) with FF sensor will easily beat k-5. Not funny at all. What point are you trying to make? The next Pentax K? will probably easily beat the K5 as well. This is a Pentax forum where we discuss Pentax equipment. D700, 800, 900, whatever, i...

As soon as Sony develop a cheap FF sensor for the general market Pentax will make a camera for it. Vic.

Sony, who have MUCH more cash to splash (and also waste) than Pentax, tried the FF route with a terrific camera (the A900 - AND at a good price)together with the support of a legendary lens maker (Zeiss) and with far more FF lenses than Pentax have available and by all reports, Sony have had their f...

Ok. We can easily state that the sensor on the K-5 is excellent. The algorithm used by Pentax is one of the best performing. What I would like to point out is that Pentax Aps-c lenses are not so many even if some of very good quality. Pentax 35mm lenses panorama is huge in any mount (M42-K-KA...
