MX-1 or original Q???
Having played a bit more... I'd say the MX-1 comes up from the compact side, whereas the Q is down from the SLR side of things. Both have a lovely finish, but by way of a quick comparison: MX-1 - No option to save the last image as RAW :( - Fewer colour modes ("Portrait" mode is my favour...

Do we need full frame and to much resolution
"Swings and roundabouts" "Horses for courses" Personally I would like access to both a crop sensor and a FF camera depending on what I wanted to produce in an image. Pixel count isn't important to me whilst I only really want to produce A4 images but not all sensors are created equal within a ...

Do we need full frame and to much resolution
Hasn't sony released two versions of it's A7(?) line, which are full frame but with tow very different resolutions. So we've now got a K3 that's higher (or at least the same) resolution as a full frame sensor. Personally I like the idea of lenses 'going back' to what they were in film days. Nam...

Do we need full frame and to much resolution
I was just thinking that, supply and demand being what it is, sensor manufacturers looking to expand sales might be very keen to offer Ricoh a very good deal now. That might make it easier to make a Pentax FF model, maybe even in the same shell as the K-3.

Do we need full frame and to much resolution
Given that technology is allowing te individual cell size on te sensor to become smaller, what would a FF actually achieve? Had there been a FF around when the *istD at 6MP was produced it would have been around 12MP which is significantly lower than the APS-C resolution now available. And wi...

Do we need full frame and to much resolution
Yes it was a bit of a sweeping statement but seeing Pentax being criticized for not going full frame with the K3 annoyed me. Reminded me of the marketing numbers games that went on with HiFi. My comments where about the raw images as manufacturers can perform minor miracles with their in camera pro...

Do we need full frame and to much resolution
One of the key advantages of FF is shallow DOF, nothing to do with pixels. Yeah that's what I was alluding to earlier. The Megapixel count used to be the factors put forward the most, but we're already seeing higher pixel counts in smaller sensors now, even in cell phones. The full frame term re...

The first part of your comment is correct. The second part is not. For Example, a 300mm Tele lens will show as much detail in its APS-C section taken with a full frame camera. Always assuming the Amount of pixels has increased to the same extend as the size of the sensor. Regards, Horst Hi Hor...

noisy k30 (soundwise)
The K30 shutter noise is much the same as the K10 and K20. On the other hand the shutter on the K5 is whisper quiet in comparison as is the sensor cleaning. I thought it a shame when Pentax had already perfected a quiet system but then again I suppose it does have something to do with build cost.

X-5
If she wants her own camera with a similar feel to your k5iis, why not try a k500 or even a used kx, maybe with a superzoom? Bridge cameras are disappointing in general - although Sony does offer a reasonable one with a 1 inch sensor (at a much higher cost of course! )

X-5
Thanks for all the comments. I'm now in two minds over this mainly because most posts seem to be telling me to look at something else and Rataegeoff, the only person to use one, says that the image quality is "better than his Galaxy phone". Which is hardly a great recommendation. My wife tends ...

O-GPS1 Astrotracer
That's a whole lot of sensor movement ability! Impressive that it can move so far on so many different direction/axis. Looks like 'in/out' is the only axis missing, given it can do left and right, up and down, and therefore rotations also via combinations of the above two.

Mega Expensive Pentax mock-up
Calm down guys, it's not real, it's a cheap Taiwanese rip off, you can tell by what looks like A XHI obviously trying to make it look like a genuine ASHAI PENTAX. Well it didn't fool me although I would be interested to know what size sensor it has :lol:

Pentax MX1 Expert Compact Digital Camera
To add to the praises, this is simply the best compact sensor camera I have used. Image quality is much better than I would expect, and certainly surpasses the Fuji X10 with its larger 2/3" sensor. Given I've seen nothing to suggest the X20 is better than the X10 in the IQ department, the Pentax s...

So What's the Camera Doing?
I'm not using the term loosely - I'm using it as the now common way to describe image adjustments that involve chopping, pasting, compositing and otherwise altering the content of an image to the extent that it is a distortion of reality. I include here the sort of extreme body and skin treatment us...

However, prices seem to be on the move a little as there's a number of other companies selling the camera f...
