K5IIs versus K5
Assessments via monitor screens, especially of 'web-sized' jpegs will always be fraught by inconsistency. The resizing algorithm applied for that final jpeg version may well be the overriding determining factor, and certainly RAW ' capture sharpening', which will be as varied as the number of progra...

K5IIs versus K5
Since the K-5 IIs many camera makers have also taken this on board and today the lack of the AA filter is quite normal. It does have benefits, but the essence of sharpness and resolution needs to be understood. For example, a Panatomic-X negative film (ISO 32) will show the same detail as a Tri-X...

K5IIs versus K5
I have to smile at the reigniting of this ancient controversy. It's perhaps the photographic equivalent of asking how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. There will be no consensus, no 'right' or 'wrong', unless the question is drawn so narrowly as to be scarcely worth the asking. The per...

K5IIs versus K5
You're right to phrase it as a ' starting point', and noting David Storms post above where he said 'end of story' ... Well I'd say no, the sensor/AA filter configurations are just the START of the story.... That is why I have constantly approached this from a workflow and processing viewpoint, an...

Pentax K1 Full Frame Specs Leaked
It's a very good starting point, and bodes well for ongoing pricing. It's going to give more people than we expected the opportunity. It's not always easy though to take better pictures with a larger sensor camera, so I've read .....

Finally! Pentax K-1 is official... Pre-order and Open Day information
having seen a few introductory videos about the K-1 today, I have to say I'm really impressed. Even without the FF sensor it's well specced. I won't be buying one for a while, but I hope it sells bucketloads and there's no production problems/recalls ala sensor stains and flappy mirrors, etc

Finally! Pentax K-1 is official... Pre-order and Open Day information
The promotion stresses that this is targeted at Pentax owners with older 35mm lenses, and that despite the as yet limited new FF range there is a large body of lenses available. However there is the question as to whether these will give the best quality of image with a 36 MP sensor (and that is gr...

I agree on the screen. It looks fine though, but I just don't see that it adds enough to waste time on. eg it's not bad, it just doesn't really give you that much in return over a normal articulated screen, be that flippy or twisty. I'd far rather they took a design they already had, like say the...

The screen is more rugged then the popular pull out to the side and twist. Again should be easy to replace the screen if damaged. Having been out in pitch darkness I must say I do like the lights, don't know why no one has thought of it before. The new control dial and display looks good. Is...

Disappointed they went with the 36 megapixel sensor which has slowed it down to 4.4 fps. Oh well will wait for the next one to come out....

I'm actually delighted it's 36.4MP. Files of 50MP are very tedious, putting huge demands on the computer. It's not only space, but can mean some users would need to upgrade their PCs. I'm guessing Cabstar wanted something more like the Nikon D750's 25MP sensor (which should mean less strain on the b...

TBH, for me, 36 megapixels is the least attractive part of the package. Same here. I would have been happier if it was a 16MP FF sensor with a high ISO and dynamic range performance to match. or indeed 2 seperate models, one for pixel peeping and one for dynamic range :) - Sony's A7 range has done t...

On the flip side 36MP is not large for present day FF cameras. However, that being said... From memory this is (has this been confirmed?) the original Sony A7r sensor, which is over two years old or so now? If it is that sensor then there may be on sensor phase detect AF points. This is th...
