[Considering upgrade] Where else is K-3 strategically better than K-5IIs?
I haven't read the thread yet but from one post on your link it appears they are arguing over, amongst other things, if RAW data is affected by camera settings or not. Well for noise reduction it is. Actually, the discussion does touch on the fact that the K5 applies NR to its raw files above IS...

Is a RAW file not just that? RAW camera sensor data with no processing or manipulation? If there was processing & manipulation (eg noise reduction going on) surely for it to have any effect the RAW data would need to be 'rendered' into a pixel-based image, so it would no longer be a RAW file.

Any signal from a transducer can and often is processed prior to conversion to meaningful values. As above, manufacturers RAW files are not compatible with each other. True RAW generally starts life on a celluloid base. DR, signal bandwidth and threshold levels all vary with manufacturers "RAW" p...

How can we 'look' at a RAW file? If you mean looking at the actual image recorded inside the file, then that can only be seen via a rendered pixel-based version of it, having gone through some conversion process. So surely any differences would only be caused by differing applications of stored meta...

I've had my K3 for a month now and as far as I can see the noise performance is similar enough to my K30 for me not to bother. It is slightly better on paper than the K30 but as far as I am concerned the overriding factor with noise is the correctness of the original exposure and the degree of cropp...

Anyone Recommend an 2n hand autofocus 50mm Lens for K10D
Thinking about it, on the K10 with its bigger sensor pixels you might be OK having a play with . Not a prime, bokeh monster but inexpensive, compact, sharp zoom with a handy macro focus too. £50 should sort you one and you should only lose the postage if you sell.

Question for Smeggy, maybe or others...
Although not for me, what about an MX-1? Best regards I like the MX-1, Really do but can't live with the sensor size, though I have seen some beautiful results from it, alas, I doubt they would ever be mine. My ideal would be a Big Q with EVF but not the K-01, Mr Newsom forgot that he was not de...

I quite fancy the idea of focus peaking for the F/1.2 to be honest, but I have managed without it, although it's not easy to master. :) for 12bit v 14bit files ... well the extra dynamic range is very useful for editing especially when shadow boosting, but for regular purposes you won't see a l...

What pentax should do is release a Sony NEX sized machine with the K-5 sensor. Even mroe compact thanthe K-01 http://camerasize.com/compare/#285,33 .

What pentax should do is release a Sony NEX sized machine with the K-5 sensor. So basically an MX-1 styled unit, with interchangeable K mount lenses, but with the K5 series sensor... Or go one step more to compete with the likes of the Sony A7 series :wink: I like the MX-1, Really do but can...

Jules i will no doubt get shot for suggesting this! If you want a quick grab and go camera and have decided not to buy another K3 which I would do, have you thought about one of the Fuji X cameras? Benefits, small and light size, beautiful JPEGS straight out of the camera. I guess it all depends ...

I would like Pentax to make the MX-1 with a 1" sensor similar to the RX100. Such a camera is easy to keep on you at all times and is close to DSLR quality. I have the RX100 and it's awesome; I just wish it had the superior form-factor and design of the MX-1....

What pentax should do is release a Sony NEX sized machine with the K-5 sensor. Even more compact thanthe K-01 The flange distance dictated the brick like dimensions of the K-01 (although I'm sure they could give it a mild nip & tuck). To get to NEX size you are looking at using adapters.
