Pentax Batteries (K-5)
tested to Pentax's more exacting standards of QC :wink: Yes indeed, as did the sensor stained one before that ... and the sensor stained one before that. :D And on that note I will go browse the rest of the forum :wink:

COME ON PENTAX WHERES YOUR full-frame
You've listed some cameras there that were frought with problems and delivered much worse image quality than a K-5. They also cost megabucks. They all delivered better IQ than APSC cameras at the time though. (Perhaps apart from the Contax, and Pentax were perhaps wise not to roll out their original...

Pentax have always said they are not looking at producing a full frame body for the foreseeable future and would rather concentrate on the more profitable crop sensor market. If you want full frame then you had best look elsewhere, just as a lot of people already have.

Stick a 50mm f1.7 lens on both (APS-C & Full-Frame) and anyone would be able to tell the difference, even at postcard size. Can this really be true? Surely the APS-C sensor would "see" only the central part of the image circle of the lens, where its resolution is highest. And if the sensor resolutio...

What is all the fuss over full frame from Pentax? I would bet that most of these 'we want a full frame' brigade would probably then complain " I'm not going to buy it, it's too expensive". And....why do they want it, so they can produce 40" x 60" or larger prints? I doubt it. I have a friend who ...

I don't see what all the fuss is about? What is wrong with the K5? If Pentax were to bring out a FF sensor, we will know long before hand by the new lenses that would be appearing on the market.

I always remember quotes (not verbatim) from 'pros' both on here and elsewhere - 'why all the fuss about FF? there's no magical promised land' Personally: 1 : The cost of the Canikon systems is beyond me, even if I'd won the lottery I would be rather annoyed at having to shell out the prices t...

You do know that the superb new Canon 5DIII is a 22.3mp camera don't you ? I guess not. But the Nikon D800 has 36MP. The pixel density of 24MP is a 3 years old technology. It's worser than the K-5's value. The density of 24MP (FF) is same as the 12MP (APS-C). Amazing insight there (even though you ...

... As that implies many of Pentax's lenses would be unsuitable for a sensor with that amount of resolving power and hence I believe I'm right in saying that a Pentax FF of 22-24mp would be almost perfect in terms of extracting the most from Pentax's existing FF lenses. Regarding the Sony-Pentax agr...

If people don't like the Z1-p with it's dual wheels, similar to a digital SLR plus considering that it can be bought for about 1/10th of it's original cost there's no way they are going to like anything bigger than a K-5 :oops: Don't expect people to act sensibly. The MX for instance hasn't eve...

[quote:3496ace15f="Frogfish"] Regarding the Sony-Pentax agreement the next Pentax camera will be a 24MP APS-C camera IMHO. The new Pentax camera will get the 24,3MP sensor that is used at the Sony A77. I feel more important question that when will be usable a faster/more precise AF in my Pentax th...

Not for a moment denying people's right to spend their money on whatever they like, nor indeed begrudging those with tons more of it than me :) But I'm quite interested to hear what specific features those that are desperate for a 35mm sensor are actually wanting. I do get the idea that with a...

Film is arguably digital indeed. At the atomic level, the silver halide crystals either are switched on or not by light. 0 or 1, nothing in between. Sounds digital to me. The sensor, on the other hand, is a purely analogue device that has to be digitised by the A/D converter. There's something...

What I'm really waiting for pentax to release (obviously apart from fullframe) is: A 16 megapixel dslr sensor in the body of an old MX, weatherproofed with a fixed 35mm f2 lens... A take anywhere, tank-like, snapshot-machine... A real bridge-camera and not a superzoom...
