According to KenRockwell.com we'll need a 175MP sensor to equal the resolution of film. ... Yes DSLRs will have 175MP sensors, but for a few years yet. :) I for one don't want to have to deal with file sizes a 175MP FF sensor would produce... Does give me a bit of hope that my FA's will be...

Yes it's no fun at all with those size images. I still remember playing with a RIP for printing so that I could bypass print drivers and do full output size sharpening, an A3 print created something like a 1.2G intermediate file doing my rather humble old PC no good at all. As sensor resolutions...

This would have people believe that there is no edge softness on APS-C lenses? I have lots of FF lenses, so would not always be using APS-C lenses on my K-5iis. When using APS-C lenses, clearly there will be edge softness if the lenses have this characteristic, but what I was referring to was the...

K10 v K7
Different sensor ... the K10D sensor was probably the best for IQ I have had on a Pentax camera. As I have said before the K10D gave what I would describe as a glossy print look to photos while the K-7 gave more of a matt look. I do miss the K10D output but the better ISO performance/af/dynamic r...

K10 v K7
I completely agree with Mike-P on the K10D. Its CCD sensor produced beautiful images at ISO 100, but its days were numbered when sensitivity joined Megapixels as the marketing men's measure of image quality. Not sure that would explain why your K10 is sharper than your K7 when focussing manually...

AP Sensor Test
The new issue of AP dropped through my letterbox today and includes an interesting test report. They looked at the K-5 IIs and Fuji XPro1 (both with no AA filter) and the Nikon D600 (FF but with AA filter) to see where the current sensor performances lie compared to each other. The differences be...

I read that this morning - it really shows that there are no out and out 'best' options and I suppose more than ever depends on what you want or need that makes an option the 'best' :D

Good article John. It also highlights the K5IIs ability to retrieve shadows- it was impressed with this.

I'll have to see if my digital edition is ready for download. I'm still vacillating on whether to get a K5IIs or wait and see if the long-rumoured FF camera is going to appear... Does anyone have any links to noise comparisons between the K5 and K5IIs BTW? I could do with a couple of extra stops ...

Sensors are the same but I believe the cameras software is slightly improved, increasing ISO capability a very small amount..

AP Sensor Test
Have just read the article in AP in relation to John's post, very interesting read. Personally APS-C works for me as the images I am getting from the K5lls are incredible in terms of detail. Pentax FF may provide more control over shallow DOF, but I have learnt some new techniques both camera and s...

I guess I will wait and see if a FF Pentax comes out. Meanwhile I may just get the AA filter removed from my K5.....cheaper than buying a K5IIs. My IR Sony has exactly the same sensor, and the AA filter on that was removed during the IR conversion. The Sony definitely resolves more detail.

The company in the UK I contacted (Protech, the one mentioned in this weeks AP) are not doing the K5 yet, unfortunately, though will be soon as they apparently have had load of enquiries. I may get it done in the States by Kolari, who charge $250.
