RAW processors
CA and fringing are not the problem. It is the colour bleed from the near clipped blue sky areas into the fine dark branches. I've had a look at this and I don't think this particular effect is a fault of any of the raw processors but instead a natural limitation of the sensor (and probably als...

RAW processors
I've had a look at this and I don't think this particular effect is a fault of any of the raw processors but instead a natural limitation of the sensor (and probably also lens resolution). Colour rendition of the larger branches is generally fine until the branch diameter falls below pixel or bayer ...

Ricoh possible new DSLR Hardware chipset?
I've long understood my Pentax has at its heart a sensor from Sony and the electronics mostly from Fujitsu. I also figured the weak link was my brain and its wiring to my right forefinger :-) Back to editing my Greek holiday photos this evening.If they aren't up to scratch I'll blame the Ouzo not...

Thoughts on camera for Alaska?
Useful tip about the filters/screen protector as well, thanks. I don't usually use them, but it makes sense. Thanks again. I still have my old Skylight1B filters from a trip to the Arctic - I kept them a a momento and have just dug them out. They are of no real use now, salt ingrained into...

I picked this up from the Russian Facebook page and thought it was quite interesting, so here it is in the original plus Bing translation. I've left the original in so those who read Russian can get the proper version. отрывок из вы...

I read elsewhere another 'from the horses mouth' quote, along the lines that the next Pentax is an APS-C , around 20meg (possibly using the latest Sony sensor), but that the processing has been improved so that IQ is equal to the 645D. Note the present tense. This comes from the Philippines, alle...

The Google translation version is here in case people find it slightly clearer an excerpt from the speech of one of the leaders of Pentax: ".. First of all, we are seriously discussing the development of a full-frame SLR camera. We contacted the developer of full-frame sensors and translate to th...

What we can't quantify is how many photographers avoid/dismiss Pentax becuase of the lack of FF... I have a ModelMayhem account, and a lot of the photographers on there are VERY sniffy about what the call 'crap sensor' cameras.... Ben Kanarek has just joined their ranks :( There's no doubt FF off...

the first company to make a digital 8x10 view camera, and I'll be jumping ship. even if it only has a 4x5 inch sensor, I'll live with the crop factor, but bitch every chance i get about the lack of an 8x10 FF sensor. because that's how I roll, and it only has to make sense to the people on the 'net...

Well it looks like the k-5 mkii will only have a 12 monthish life if an ff isn't forthcoming soon. despite the problems with the d600 it still remains a very competant and cheap camera. The k-5 had its own share of sensor stain issues at launch.

Seems to me that Ricoh is on a hiding to nothing here! Whatever they bring out will be "too little too late" to stop the mad exodus to the Canikon Eos D610 thousand million! Is there a site where I can have a laugh at the moans of ex Pentax users who jumped ship to the Nikon D600 during it's sho...

despite the problems with the d600 it still remains a very competant and cheap camera. The k-5 had its own share of sensor stain issues at launch. Quite. I hear nothing but praise and love from the camera from actual D600 users. Kind of like the K5... there are those who like to shriek and raise a f...

More Lenses for meee! My precious'sss... It my be the exact contrary...... If Pentax will release a FF camera...

I do think the add ons, whilst not necessarily desired by all are what's going to get Pentax to shape up on the spec comparison sheet. Once you can start doing that, people will look at the IQ and be impressed. Now I know that's back to front for most, but growing the brand means getting more peop...

Its the gadgety useless features that sell cameras though. The salesman is more likley to be able to explain and show the benefits of a hdr feature in store than the benefits of say a full frame sensor.
