FF sensor rumors
There was a time when we used film and the parameters needed of a lens were well understood. Good lenses could deliver the quality to exploit the finest grain, sharpest emulsions. That was so for decades. I feel a bit sorry for manufacturers now, because the requirements of advancing sensors need...

FF sensor rumors
If they do go for 36MP it would be foolish to bring out just one FF camera. They need another with 16-24MP. As Ken Rockwell says about 36MP in the D810 "for nutjobs who actually think they need 36 megapixels, while the D750 is what most people, including myself, really want." Take a look at the ...

FF sensor rumors
I'd be personally more interests in the lower light capabilities and narrower depth of field characteristics of full frame than a higher MP count. Most TVs and computer monitors/ tablets etc are still in the 2M range, so other than heavy cropping and large commercial printing purposes, higher than ...

Interesting thoughts. Let's hope for the best. Knowing Pentax they will blow us away with some amazing camera I am sure I'd be personally more interests in the lower light capabilities and narrower depth of field characteristics of full frame than a higher MP count. Most TVs and computer monitors/ ...

I am looking forward very much to the FF which I am sure will be a significant forward development that will not be overshadowed by the comparative competition , and for sure I will get one. However I am also very interested in the performance of DA* lenses in the [b]Cropped sensor mode (CSM)[/b...

Well I've got this all wrong. I thought it would be 36/1.5= 24 mp. I am wrong. Need to do some research then

FF sensor rumors
However I am also very interested in the performance of DA* lenses in the [b]Cropped sensor mode (CSM)[/b] where arithmetically we can expect 24.7% bigger photo-sites on the full frame sensor configuration. If it's a 36MP full frame sensor, then crop mode will be roughly equivalent to the 16MP K-5 ...

FF sensor rumors
I am not holding my breath! I put off buying a GX-20 5/6 years ago because a senior Samsung exec was reported to have dropped some firm hints on FF. I suspect the long delay may be due to problems getting Shake Reduction to work well on a double size sensor? Sony claim to have done it now. Howeve...

FF sensor rumors
As Percy as pointed out the photosites on the FF sensor will be the same as the very efficient K5 , 16mp APS-c sensor ; 4.8 microns wide However regarding the FF sensor in "cropped mode"; We don't yet know how a lens is mounted on the FF (ie. dimension from the rear element / lens mount to the ...

FF sensor rumors
Ricoh (Pentax) have a problem. Either they cater for the mass market (higher MP count) or the wishes of a few (very few) existing Pentax users who want better high-iso performance. As this is the first Pentax FF it's unlikely there will be several versions to cater for all needs. A 24MP FF won't sel...

John, I would be happy to achieve the same goal on a 16mp "FF K5IIs" if you know what I mean. Regards See video below; http://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2014/07/30/lets-cut-the-crop-zack-arias-on-the-full-frame-vs-aps-c-debate

I suspect the long delay may be due to problems getting Shake Reduction to work well on a double size sensor? Sony claim to have done it now. No claiming at all, it's a product you can buy right now. AND it works in video mode too... However; Pentax continue making FF lenses, past new model...

........................................... So we will have to wait and see wether the lens mount / FF sensor is dimentionally re-configured or crop mode is achieved by simply processing (cropping) the image in the camera, which could be a little easier I suspect . A very interesting muse t...

:lol: When it finally comes out, I wonder how many pages the 'FF Cropped Mode vs K3 Comparative Image Analysis ' forum thread will run to ....? :wink: And 3 of the pages will be argument over whether you need to own both a FF and a K3 in order to be able to see the differences !!:shock:

FF sensor rumors
Cropping The FF sensor based on the 4.89 micron photosites should result in a 15.495 mp resolution so the APS-c size image should be more or less like the K5 as Smeggy says but that assumes it will be done as a simple crop. However it might be done another way too, as I said yesterday , but we...
