Hi Jules, thanks for the information. Are there any details on the 20Mp sensor? It will be interesting to see how dynamic range and high ISO noise stack up against the K3 sensor. Regards - Steve Far as I know Steve, it's the Sony unit, so we should at least be able to look it up on Imaging Resour...

[quote:3496ace15f="jules"] K60 wifi built in...:D They should build in GPS in as well. Ridiculous given mobile phones have, it's not as if the technology is expensive. I wrote a big post on this last night and microsoft IE threw it all away:evil::!: My £50 Android phone has wifi, gps and blue...

It's impossible and simply bad business sense to make a huge range of similar cameras just with various components combinations added or not. Far more likely is for a circuit board to have everything included, and with these features enabled or disabled via software. The problem is probably not the...

Pro's list gives Ricoh Pentax a lot to work with, to create something pretty darn good. Sensor wise that is, obviously some of these details don't count for phooey here! Pro: •New 20.1-megapixel sensor delivers excellent (and upgraded) resolution •Capable of very large prints •Above average e...

•Support NFC and Wifi Now that would be a class leader. Not entirely sure what it would be used for but hey :wink: I guess another way to put this is how realistic is it to expect significant increases in dynamic range and IQ given the current crop sensor technology being utilised today? The...

Kind of forced on them as Sony Ain't made a 16Mp sensor in a while now, having moved on to the 20. And therein lies the rub. When it comes to arguably the most important component of the system Pentax are at the whim of the sensor supplier. If that is Sony, then they are always going to be playing c...

I'm not sure that "forced on" and "at the whim of" are really how it works. It's equally so for all manufacturers. It's just continued development, which we expect. Otherwise, we might still have 6MP DSLRs. Improving those was an aim of all camera manufacturers, not something that was forced on them...

Not really fair to compare SLT's to DSLR's, lets go back to the much vaunted 16Mp Sensor we all know and love... More than anything so that we can compare apples to kind of apples... http://www.dxomark.com/Cameras/Compare/Side-by-side/Pentax-K-5-IIs-versus-Sony-SLT-Alpha-57-versus-Sony-Alpha-580...

The point that I was trying to make is that the sensor manufacturer holds a great deal of power. The fact that Sony is both sensor supplier and competitor weakens Pentax's position. It stands to reason that Sony's camera division will always have first dibs on its technology. I did read that in the...

Are there any other sensor options for Ricoh? With the exception of Panasonic and Canon, do all the other manufacturers use Sony? I know from being an amatuer astronomer that Kodak produce very good sensors with very very low noise. But these are for very specialised applications. Obviously the Pan...

Samsung also make sensors, as we know, and there may well be others. The 645D is a Kodak sensor I think?

Hi Jules, well you can't blame them, its their IP , that they have spent time and money on developing. Providing they are not breaking any competition laws , which I am sure they are not, they are free to sell or not sell their products to whoever they want. I think you are right about the sensor...

Nikon use Aptina for the Nikon 1 and I believe they may also have been talking to them about a FF sensor Regards - Steve

For all you small as a match box FF addicts. Canon have a small sensor just for you. 202mm x 205mm 488megapixels, try and get that camera in the boot of your ford fiesta.:lol: Cheers Dave
