K3 has started to ship.......
I'm with you there Mike. Even allowing for time to get to know the camera I won't need to make any decisions until early April. Of course if the reports show the AF is fast and accurate, and it has a good sized buffer and no sensor problems I could bring purchase forward.

As long as the QC (ie: no sensor stain type issues) is better then equivalent sales will mean much better profits. I'm sure Pentax have a winner here. The K5 won its plaudits but the K3 is headline news and the marketing behind it is more savvy. Go Pentax go.

All very nice, and all, but at 800px, I'm not sure what the images show. ----------------------------------------- No sensor stains? ;-)

All very nice, and all, but at 800px, I'm not sure what the images show. ----------------------------------------- No sensor stains? ;-) :D Although the sensor stains would never have been detectable on any of the above images. Definitely not at 800px, and probably not at 100% either unless you...

K3 has started to ship.......
My findings so far: ISO from 100 to ISO 3200 the K3 is a clear winner in terms of IQ compared to the K5 & K5lls. (My opinion) Another thing to consider is that Lightroom 5 is very good at adjusting and controlling noise levels as are a few other specific noise programs. For those with more expert...

I don't myself, but I would if it bloody well worked. I'm sure there's a workaround Chris. :twisted: Maybe one of those ruddy great hotshoe spirit level things or even file a bit off the heel of your shoe so you are standing at the exact slant needed to correct the problem. Good plan. A bi...

I suppose thats a good way to think about it - if they've managed to squeese the extra pixels into the same space without losing anything in the process, thats actually an advance in itself :) Indeed. :) - personally I would have been happier with another 16MP sensor with a better High ISO/Dynamic R...

personally I would have been happier with another 16MP sensor with a better High ISO/Dynamic Range performance My thoughts too. The K-3 remains 14 bit RAW. I note the K-3 sensor is actually slightly smaller than the one on the K-5, despite having more pixels crammed onto it so I'm not convinced th...

I should say here and now that I really only have the slightest passing and cursory interest in the differences in noise performance between the K5 & K3 - no, thats not right - really no interest at all in the differences .... I'm sure everyone else will be glad about that ! :D :D I know what you...

I suppose the really important thing is not so much the exact numerical value of any processing correction, but rather how well the image responds to the processing - how easily the noise disappears and what after-effects remain. Each different model may not have the same starting points (numeri...

High ISO becomes much easier if you shoot JPEG. This is an ISO 12800 shot from the MX-1, which has a much smaller sensor, and I don't see a problem with it. I would be interested to see if the K-3 is better or even as good, because it's good enough in all the cameras so far. Good enough for emergenc...

The 100% images result in different magnifications with the K-3 and K-5, thus introducing another variable. Of course... 24MP v. 16mp will do that :) What would we conclude the significance of that would be? Well looking at the pics, I would say that those who want to blow up pics to poster size ...

Dare I say it again, improve DYNAMIC RANGE please P/R. It's what you all want, some people just don't realise it yet. That's mainly down to Sony or the other sensor manufacturers, not Pentax who have only a minor role in enhancing the signal path. I personally don't think we'll see any big jump in...

Interesting. There's a lot more colour noise, but that's easier to deal with, and there's quite a bit more detail in the k3 shot too. My own (similar) experience with A3+ prints from the Imaging Resource DNGs for the K-3 and the K-5IIs is that there is extra luminance noise and colour noise at high ...

I agree with Dr. O. Essentially what the camera is doing when shooting in JPEG is taking the RAW image and applying arbitrary processing to it which includes NR and compression. If the camera can do this it is possible to do it yourself on a RAW file in post processing and with the right skills and...

Please stop this thread. I need a lot of good publicity about the K-3,so I can pick up a K-5ii (perhaps s) at a rock bottom price. This discussion is going to push the prices back up :D That was presumably tongue in cheek, but anyway you probably don't need to worry - the marketing around the 24MP ...

I'm not so sure....I compared at IR with the Nikon D7100 instead, which I understand uses the same sensor and also loses the low pass filter. In terms of noise and detail the K-3 compares rather well to the Nikon (perhaps in line with the previous wisdom that Pentax manage to eek a bit more out o...
