New K3 image - interesting!
It's nifty and good marketing, agreed, a feature worth having and one that permanently spells the end of AA filters if it works well. I really want to hear about niftier DR/iso performance though. ".... spells the end of AA filters ...." for cameras with shake reduction in the sensor! Try that ...

New K3 image - interesting!
I've heard it said many times that better Dr/ISO performance is not necessarily a given with such an increase in pixels within the same physical sensor space ? I always thought it got slightly worse .. so if we could have the same sort of performance as the K-5II but on a 24MP sensor I would be quit...

CCD vs CMOS
In my experience (not scientific, purely subjective), when I've shot CCD sensor cameras in good light with good lenses, I've felt they can outperform similar spec CMOS sensors. Get into anything other than perfect light however, and CMOS tends to win hands down.

CCD vs CMOS
This comes up quite often, I have always said that pictures taken with my K10D seem to have a much better look to them when compared to Pentax cameras since (K20D, K-7, K-5, K-5II). The CCD sensor (to me) gives what I call a glossy look to low ISO pictures while the CMOS gives more of a matt look. ...

CCD vs CMOS
Thanks Mike, that describes my experience. I love the Kr but I feel that it doesn't have the same 'oomph' at lower ISOs. MacThis comes up quite often, I have always said that pictures taken with my K10D seem to have a much better look to them when compared to Pentax cameras since (K20D, K-7, K-5...

CCD vs CMOS
I've never made a side by side comparison between the K5 and K10, perhaps I will one day. My feelings about the K10 are simply an impression and a preference: I cannot say its images are "better". I'm also prepared to concede that I don't get the best from the K5's CMOS sensor and could probably...

CCD vs CMOS
I don't think the assertion re CCD vs CMOS is proved or disproved by any of the shots as they all look much of a muchness as presented. Certainly there's no magical quality which leaps out of the GX-10 shot (CCD sensor) for me, as against the GX-20 shot (CMOS sensor), even when viewing the RAW imag...

CCD vs CMOS
that was my concern ..... i think smeggy said earlier that a ccd camera will still be working in 50 years time. is that feasable? How can we know the extent of the components lifecycle based on our present position along it? I've got electronic musical stuff from the early 70s that's still working. ...

which to get next?
on a budget, would like to upgrade in near future from the K30 DSLR I have. with the K3 coming soon, this will of course influence prices. in an ideal world I would also like to have two bodies. at airshows I get tired with lens swapping. one idea is to get another DSLR body to have my 18-55 o...

which to get next?
having another k30 makes sense, but that are a number of cheap k5's starting to appear on ebay and elsewhere so maybe a K5 makes a good buy as the K30 commands good second hand prices still. I just seem to remember that the K5 has more features than the K30 although they run the same sensor, so I...

How do you mean the sensor is from the NEX series? I was under the impression it was essentially the same sensor as the K5ii. In fact I thought all these 16MP sensors from Sony were pretty much the same, the main difference being the imaging engine they are hooked up to in the camera.

Yep! The whole shebang comes pretty much as a unit out of the Nex 5n, obviously there is some Pentax snake oil involved too but they got the Sensor and the twelve bit milbeaut image engine in a oner... Designed from the up for video, live view, peaking etc. There is at least four versions of this...

Many cameras use the same basic sensor units. Some use the same basic lens units.

Officially K-3?
Its clearly going to be one of the best crop sensor cameras you can buy. There's plenty of interesting new details to pore over. The h.264 video is new I think? Does this mean full hd in a new file format? Am I right that .AVI is more compressed? If so then I guess the bigger files from this k-3 wi...

Does this settle the K3 equivalent of the K511/K5IIs debate before it starts? "Newly developed for the K-3, the anti-aliasing simulator* applies microscopic vibrations to the image sensor unit at the subpixel level during image exposure, generating the same level of moiré-reduction effect as an o...
