DXO K3 Scores are out
Maybe future firmware releases will squeeze a bit more from the sensor? I didn't expect it to beat the D7100, they are very similar and clearly both very capable. I'm happy so far with mine, it handles beautifully, images look good, but I'm keeping the K-5iis so hopefully have the best of both wor...

I think most of us on this forum make images John but talking specs and comparing this against that is part of the forum No? Dpreview is the top gear of forums, you can't take a landscape or portrait picture unless it's FF 36Mp nor shoot action unless you use a D4. APSC is only good enough for EB...

I have not made much of the K3's obvious advantages over the D7100 amongst others... like what ? Shoots Faster Not half made of space plastic (No debate it's been done to death!) HDR RAW Three-motor mechanism which allows independent control of the mirror, shutter and diaphragm (It just doesn't s...

Reckon its time we all moved on from this little tit a tat. DXO returns a number, it may help some but probably confuses more. If you are of the technically influenced nature then more that likely a Pentax will not press your buttons, you will be chasing after some FF DSLR that you will deci...

DXO K3 Scores are out
For me it's the camera's interface. Can I find the menu items where I expect them to be? I've tried Canon and they weren't, never tried Nikon. I went back to Pentax so I could use my old film era lenses if I wished, but could never understand the lack of a 36x24 sensor in a body that seemed designed...

Personally I'm finding all the new developments have had an awesome effect on the price of the K-30 (well K-50 now) :wink: Now obviously I'm biased in owning the K-30, but seriously, look at the bang for the buck on prices here! Body only from SRS Website: K-3 £1,099.00 K-5II £699.00 ...

Actually I'd like to hear about the K30/50 image quality, I am seriously considering putting together an even lighter kit in a shoulder bag to have sat in the hall to go with me everywhere, in an attempt to get into B+W and street stuff etc, Now the K5 series are 14bit but the double digit k30/50 o...

[/quote] I've a K30 and I'm really impressed at how well it recovers both shadow and highlight detail - it's miles better than my K7 was. While the 14 bit on a K5 should be able to recover some more at either end, I really wouldn't see it as a selling point - I'm sufficiently impressed by the imp...

Just noticed something rather odd about that DXO review as the conclusion of the article states, "We’ve not yet assessed the resolving power of the sensor." So to suggest it might be inferior in any way to the opposition might be just a little premature until that assessment has been completed. ...

A quote: "With a 23.35 million-pixel sensor and no anti-aliasing filter the Pentax K-3 produces fantastically detailed images, and it doesn't disappoint. The camera comes close to out resolving our lens chart, at a resolution of 38lp/pm, almost matching the Nikon D800/E , which did out-resolve our c...

AP review of the K-3
Strange tone in this. First of mentions the struggle that Pentax has had with various owners, fair enough but then uses the example of Jessop's not stocking Pentax... I was under the impression that Pentax UK did not want to give Jessop's the necessary credit line to keep their kit in the by then go...

How much more demanding of good technique is the K-3?
So I was browsing through the various forums and noticed a rash of my K-3 is soft, my lens must be fault, you know blame it on everyt hing except yourself while at the same time uploading images to prove your case. I noticed when I swapped from a K20D to the K-5 that the latter was far less forgiv...

.... I think there is a little less headroom in the files for pulling them around in Post Processing . That's interesting - seems counter-intuitive in a way. Would not logic suggest more megapixels, a lot more image data in total, to mean 'more headroom' in processsing? What aspects of PP have ...

How much more demanding of good technique is the K-3?
Higher dynamic range gives you finer tonal graduations, i.e a smaller difference in value between pixels. For example an 8bit per channel (JPG) images gives you 256 steps per channel while a 16bit TIFF gives you 65,536 steps per channel. That's a 16 stop range versus an 8 stop range. It is not ...
