Can't imagine anyone is surprised that 24mp crammed onto a crop sensor would give worse high iso results than 16mp Seeing as Imaging Resource is being quoted have a look at the comparison of the Canon 6D and Pentax K-3 still life or new indoor at 51200 and How can you doubt that FF would be ...

This is nothing to do with brand loyalty or denial. It's to do with real life usage and all the various factors including but not exclusively resolution. Nobody said there were not some applications where a full frame sensor could be advantageous. As indeed there are some where APS-C has the adva...

Moving to full frame
I've been playing about with FF lenses on my NEX, getting the full frame AOV by using a Lensturbo adapter. (This also improves low light performance, because it focuses the lens into a smaller imaging circle, increasing the brightness at the sensor). It's very nice getting that shallow dof 'pop' ...

I'm currently considering the Nikon D600 as an option, any thoughts? To finish of and getting back on topic:D As for the D600, don't know as never used one properly only for a couple of minutes in store. Hope this helps. Suggest we go back to some of the comments re D600 - lots of discussion o...

I wonder if those who seek to judge the entitlement of others to a full frame camera could kindly post a portfolio of their own work and detail of the equipment used. This will then be considered by a panel of PhotoStasi representatives who will decide the appropriate sized sensor for their futur...

Looking to buy another DSLR
I'd like to chime in here also, in that if you've come from a Canon T3 then you are in for exciting times. You'll get a real increase in image quality, rugged build quality and higher dynamic range abilities. The old lens ability is awesome, as they'll also now be image stabilized also. As abov...

Looking to buy another DSLR
To be honest, just about any of the current range of Pentax DSLR's will meet your requirement. The only exception is the K-500 as it is not sealed as you have wanted. So, depending on your budget you have the K30, K-50, K-5II, K-5IIs and K-3. The former four have the same mighty 16MP sensor, the...

K5 II and K30 Discontinued.
Yeah the K50 is the K30 really, so agree it should go. Personally I think they were a stunning buy, having the same sensor as the K5 / K5II etc, but being dramatically cheaper. A bit like the K-01 but still with weather sealing etc. Only gripe would be the lack of new features via firmware up...

Help me to decide. K-3 or stick to K-5 ?
but I want to see K3 shots that blow away what I can do with my K5, so far I haven't seen any. I don't think you'll see many, for two reasons. One, someone would have to be quite good with their K-3 to do better than you can do with your K-5, in the styles you tend to adopt - it still comes dow...

Help me to decide. K-3 or stick to K-5 ?
Yes, but we know Pentax will release a FF next year? well at last we're 90% sure of that. I reckon that the K-3 would have had a full frame sensor if Sony hadn't been about to release their new Alpha 7's. Will we see a K-3II next year with the new FF 24mp sensor and a K-3IIs with the new FF 36mp sen...

So can you tell us why your high ISO test results are more accurate than those from Imaging Resource who are geared upto doing these sort of tests I didn't say my high ISO tests were better than Imaging Resource. Taking into account the extra details from the K-3's sensor and the "finer" grain in ...

I don't think it's a surprise that aspects of image quality with the new sensor aren't quite up to the standards of the K-5 - it's true of other 24MP dSLRs too. It's not just Imaging Resource that tips some of the IQ scales in favour of the 16MP sensor. DXO mark also shows that dynamic range a...

Unless people want to print huge or crop more, there may not be much of an advantage to be gained purely from shifting to the 24MP sensor, but the K-3 offers all kinds of other improvements which many photographers may find to be compelling - better video, better AF, dual SD card slots, etc. But no...

There are far more than three sensor sizes! I cannot see APS-C disappearing overnight; it fits in well between the tiny ones used in phones (and the Q), 4/3, and FF.

My instinct is MattyH's - that as the years roll by FF will become the norm for some branches of serious photography. I feel more confident about that now it's clear that FF can be made to fit into a body not significantly larger than cameras in the present Pentax DSLR range. Landscape photographer...
