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. I think the D7100 uses a different sensor Jon, made by Toshiba? Regards David Ah - I'd understood differently but don't know for definite. Thanks for cla...

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...

Its a familiar sounding consideration to me, if limiting a choice purely to sensor noise performance - where it most counts is not how much correction is required for noise removal, but more importantly the effects on quality of the required detail and micro-contrast restoration. It is reasonable to...

http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/pentax-k3/pentax-k3A.HTM#SR2 Part two of Imaging Resources K3 roundup, Pretty much concurs exactly what I'm finding, (Which is always nice!) the K3 has oodles of detail a lot more then any version of the K5. Ok Smeggy, noise, it looks noisier at 1:1 (SUPRIS...

How about a K200, splash proof, nearly 2x the pixels and cheap secondhand. It has a CCD sensor like your ist.

K10D is the first of the WR bodies, but it is weighty for a Pentax (note it's still hardly heavy, just heavier). The K200 has the same sensor, is WR and smaller and lighter, but I think it's a pentamirror finder. In truth the pentamirror finders are still pretty good, just not quite as large o...

You've mentioned it now Nigel! The K-7 is fine, but IMHO no better than the K20D, perhaps unsurprising as the sensor is the same. The K-5 was a sea change and IMHO might as well be the one to aim for.

The sensor is the same, but the Prime Image processor was a significant update I believe. I havn't used a K20 but surely the new processor resulted in improved performance (I've seen posts dating back to 2009 when the first users updated from the K20 and that is what was reported), plus the K7 has t...

For info, the K10D was the last of the Pentax DSLR's to use a CCD sensor. The K20D onwards emply a CMOS device. That may or may not be important to you Mac. Some say the CCD sensor produces richer colours.

We had a thread running on that topic recently - there was a lot of nostalgia for the particular 'feel' and qualities that the older sensor offered. But others who had made more scientific comparisons reported that the IQ of the newer CMOS types were superior in all respects. Anyway, looking at t...

The game changer for image quality was the K5 and subsequent models. The Sony Exmor sensor really is an improvement over earlier sensors, wider dynamic range, much lower noise even in low light. It's a game changer because of the low noise, this means you can use smaller aperture lenses (cheaper)...

Sorry Mac, the cheapest way to get a camera with this sensor is a K-01, there's a lot wrong about the K-01, it looks and handles like a brick, you have to grip it to hold it, you discover muscles in your hand you never knew you you had. There's no viewfinder only a rear screen which can be imposs...

Digital Camera Review comparison: K3 vs Nikon D600
Great to see our new top of range model so well compared - it has always been clear that it was going straight to the top of the APS-C line-up, but here it is holding its own against a more expensive competitor with the larger sensor. The images need close attention really to draw firm conclusion...

K5 performance
This is on topic by coincidence - I was looking today at a PDF copy of the Pentax magazine from 2006 that had an article introducing the K10. I was surprised to see reference to '22 bit colour depth', which sounds very high for the time - but is this more of a characteristic of the CCD sensor. C...
