If I had £6000 I would buy this
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the term colourise. And I think the results from the new sensor seem to prove the theory that natively capturing a monochrome image is better than capturing a colour image and throwing away information to create a black and white photo. No Bayer filter or AA...

Olympus got it right, Pentax got it wrong
I think we've established that with the K-mount flange distance, it's extremely hard to design a camera as thin and 'classically proportioned' as the LX. Re the OM-D, I think it's very nice but the smaller sensor size is going to limit it's image quality compared to APSC. It's also an EVF came...

Olympus got it right, Pentax got it wrong
Well I think Pentax win over the OMD due to their support of legacy glass in their DSLRs and they are slowly reducing the size towards my ideal of the M series film bodies. I agree they got the Q wrong by going for such a small sensor. Even with the current pricing I would still take a Canon s100 ...

Olympus got it right, Pentax got it wrong
I agree they got the Q wrong by going for such a small sensor. I think there's a common misunderstanding about the logic of the Q. People have been asking for years for a digital equivalent of the Auto 110, which used tiny 110 film format. The Q is exactly that and offers what many users on this for...

Olympus got it right, Pentax got it wrong
That's fine MarkD. The question remains do cameras have a use for you or not. I don't think the sensor in the Q could be bigger without the camera being considerably bigger, but I don't mind as I do sometimes have a use for it. I don't currently have a need for the K-01 as I prefer to use the DSL...

Olympus got it right, Pentax got it wrong
Even if they had gone with the 1/1.7 size sensor which is 7.5x5.5 that should have shown a noticeable improvement only a millimetre bigger in each direction but a 20% increase in sensor area. The Q is a lovely little camera but for me the picture quality isn't up to the price tag and it so nearly c...

Olympus got it right, Pentax got it wrong
I'd like to see a full-featured Pentax DSLR crammed into one of their older film SLR's though... I love the physical 'look' of the MX (granted a little small) or the K1000- A classic looking SLR with a 16+megapixel sensor and a 2.5/3 inch screen on the film door?... Yes please8)

Olympus got it right, Pentax got it wrong
I don't think it would be possible Dave, the limitation being the sensor assembly and other electronics that need to be in there. I find the K-5 pretty close really. How about a K-30 in silver?

Olympus got it right, Pentax got it wrong
Reading through this post again, I would put forward the idea of a convesion kit, ie, a sensor and electronics that could be fitted to your favourite film camera in place of the film,that would sort most of the requirements. Could leave out the screen and controls, just a basic recording device,use...

Olympus got it right, Pentax got it wrong
I find this a little odd, one mention that Olympus got it right and Pentax got it wrong and here we are debating Pentax products :D Olympus right now are a little like the supposed one colour the model T Ford was in as much as you can have an interchangeable lens camera as long as you have a 4/3 ...

Olympus got it right, Pentax got it wrong
Where Olympus won is novelty and fresh thinking. OM-D despite smaller sensor seems to be delivering very good IQ and noise performance (judging by samples and tests), this is a step forward for these m4/3 sensors. AF speed and precision seems to be one of the best on the market among mirrorless came...

Filters for protection, looking for experiences
So how will you feel if your lens gets a knock strong enough to break the filter, and the lens is damaged by flying shards of glass. It does happen. The supplied hood should be all the 'protection' you'll need in 99.999% of cases. My opinion: Modern lenses do not need cheap pieces of glass to ...

Kr vs Canon 550
Like Mike I have A Canon 50D (well two actually) and have to say handling and usability wise it's in a class of it's own for my tastes - love the lil joystick and the large wheel on the back for changing settings ...it's just great all round. I bought the second one not very long after the first I ...

Kr vs Canon 550
I'd be using them a lot more but the ability to pull details out of very dark areas with that sensor in the K5 seems me using that most of the time. Canon just don't have a camera (sensor) in the crop market to compete with Pentax/Nikon in this respect. I find that rather surprising actually.

F Numbers and Shutter Priority
You really need to engage brain before making posts Stan, letting us know what lens was attached would help:lol::lol::lol: If it was a Sigma or other third party lens then that may have something to do with it, the Sigma 50-500 for instance is supposed to have a max aperture of f6.3 at 500, but w...

What are you going to do when the SUN COMES OUT!
You (anybody) can always pay a visit to Spain for some sun, we need a boost in tourism for our economy. Where I live, we get around 300 days of sun per year. That's 300 days of clear blue skies with not a cloud in sight. But being a brit, I struggle to enjoy summer afternoons here when temp...

Pentax Batteries (K-5)
Mine does and it's just four after your's, Mike. Did your K5 come from Mifsuds? Yes indeed, as did the sensor stained one before that ... and the sensor stained one before that. :D
