What will the new Pentax really offer us?
You need more AF points to have good AF tracking though don't you? More than the current 11, anyway! The new one reportedly has 27 AF points, surely that's enough for general use. For tracking AF maybe it's necessary, or not. My brother's old canon used to track very well with only three AF points....

My point was concerning image quality alone. I agree with the point you are making. I am considering getting an MX1 rather than the Ricoh GR to replace my NEX system so I do realise that sensor size and image quality aren't the only factors to consider! Yup the crop factor of an APSC camera may b...

Struggling to see what innovative features the K-3 has that would tempt users into the brand rather than encouraging existing customers to upgrade. Also still not convinced that cramming more and more pixels onto a crop sensor is the best thing for image quality.

It will be down to experience Nigel. I would expect to use it switched off, but then in some circumstances switch it on. There wouldn't be many based on my experience so far, but that's with a 16MP sensor. With a 24MP sensor the game may well be different.

It does save having to decide "with or without" when we buy our new camera. I see nothing negative in that. It's a plus - a much easier marketing proposition than having an 's' and 'non-s' version to sell. And it's a first, a good marketing thing in itself :) But clearly Pentax's technicians cons...

It's the high ISO performance that most interests me. If it's an improvement over the K5, I'll definitely be buying one. It looks like it's going to be the best APS-C camera on the market. If we look at the D7100 (which seemingly uses the same sensor) it seems like the difference between it and the ...

Don't know when this discussion got split over two threads, but sites dedicated to other brands are running stories about the new AA system: http://www.sonyalpharumors.com/smart-new-k-3-uses-ibis-to-create-aa-filter/ This could be a good way of attracting people to Pentax: with body/sensor per...

well wifi, astrotracing and GPS are all snooze features for me. never used them, never will either. I'd rather they be out of body to help keep costs down for tech I'm never gonna use. I can understand people wanting them though. more battery, better battery are always things I like in a camera. ...

I never understood the pissing match when it comes to cramming huge megapixels onto the sensor. I could see myself getting a K3 but running it at 16mp instead to make image size efficient Can you select 16MP RAW from it? Thinking fundamentals here, would that still be raw sensor data if it's the...

I gave up using it. But what it needs is a calibration menu item - put it on a known horizontal surface, hit "calibrate", and it re-zeros it. Calibrate brain instead? Put it on a known horizontal surface,look at what the level indicates, then if you want to use it tilt camera until the level is ...

The only caveat I would like to put in is that every man-made item has a margin of error, and if that error is plus or minus 1 degree then no amount of adjusting and replacing will change that. It's a guide. I know you're a lot more tolerant of Pentax imperfections than I am, John, and to each his...

What is the specific reason why Pentax struggles with aspects of fast AF compared to the opposition? Of course this may be much better on the K3 but if there is a fundamental technical difference that cannot be resolved I have my doubts. It only really affects bird photographers in the main really. ...
