Sensor Density...How dense can we go?
I don't see the need for sensors with more MP or pixel density than what we have already. I can print 24" x 16" from my K1 with excellent results.

Sensor Density...How dense can we go?
I'm not necessarily advocating that we need more pixel density...I personally like the 'look' of the relatively low density K-x and now K-50 sensors and the IQ and 'feel' of the 645D is i'm guessing largely due to its low pixel density. However...competitive pressure may cause Ricoh to increase the ...

Sensor Density...How dense can we go?
I dont see how Pentax can be pressured into anything regarding sensors. They don't make them and do not have the financial clout to tell a manufacturer to produce one to their spec. They will use what is available.

Sensor Density...How dense can we go?
I've had someone print a 24x16 from a cropped Pentax Q shot. They were quite happy with the result. Bear in mind that lower pixel density means less noise in the final result which is why FF and MF don't require it increasing, it's really good as it is.

Sensor Density...How dense can we go?
I've had someone print a 24x16 from a cropped Pentax Q shot. They were quite happy with the result. Also, bear in mind that the larger the print, the further away viewers are going to be standing from the image. This, in itself negates the effect of print quality... Yes, we see the difference as we...

Sensor Density...How dense can we go?
There are other factors at play here. One is sensor type (CCD, back side illuminated, Foveon, and probably others that I am unaware of), another is advances in manufacturing technology and the inventiveness of engineers. Interestingly CCD - which is old tec, noisy, and limited in functionality - i...

Sensor Density...How dense can we go?
Interestingly CCD - which is old tec, noisy, and limited in functionality - is yet frequently cited as superior in image quality for colour rendition. Personally I have very limited understanding of these things, but there are so many other issues at stake which are relevant to picture quality. ...

Sensor Density...How dense can we go?
Anyhow, if all things were equal, the main advantage for me in higher pixel count is the potential it offers for more extreme cropping. as a video shooter I can attest that the image quality when you crop in from FF to APS-c on the a7III or the extended zoom function (same thing) on the NX80 there's...

I'm pretty sure you can do that.

'Upgrade to K-1' quandary...
I'm sort of in the same position but not quite. I also have 2 APS-C cameras a K5II and a K-S2 I also find myself using only one, the K-S2 with the K5 hardly ever getting picked up. However I have no desire for the extra bulk and cost of having a 35mm equivalent camera. I'm therefore happy to have...

KP Silver or Black
I have currently got a K3 and ideally, I would jump at the new version of that but it seems to have been delayed to the summer now... That's my situation almost exactly. I have recently purchased an entry level mirrorless, mostly for the kids, but my experience with it has been excellent, almos...

KP Silver or Black
Just curious, Jonathan - I understand the point about the battery, but do the tilt-screen and the electronic shutter to 1/24000 not compensate for your other two concerns? Philip The electronic shutter solves most of the problem, the exception being when there is fast movement in the image, which...

WOT NO SERVICE?
I have just had a shocking experience. Having resolved to have my ailing Pentax K-50 investigated, I approached 2 shops in Nottingham with a view to having my camera diagnosed and serviced, JESSOPS was the first shop I approached and they informed me they had no dealings with Pentax cameras and ha...

Pentax Q
Isn't the answer obvious? Buy it, try it, and if you don't like it then sell it at a profit on e-bay.:twisted: Seriously, though, the Q is a totally different experience to a DSLR. Best to look at it as something different rather than a substitute. I've got a Q and Q-S1, both get used as well as ...

Pentax Q
The Q is a great fun little set up at £164 it's got to be worth a try. I have the original Q but, I wonder if you would be better served with better image quality and a more responsive camera with a 1" sensor bridge or super zoom camera or a micro 4/3 set up. It's the balance between size and image ...

Pentax Q
I'm a fan and use my Q and QS-1 regularly with good results. Lubbyman's post pretty much sums it up for me. I'd recommend getting either a Q7 or QS-1 as they both use the larger sensor. That said, the original Q is definitely a future classic.

Pentax Q
I think the 01 prime makes this system special. The 02 lens is a little bit bland. It's good but you can get any old compact to do what it does. The 06 lens is another that makes this system very cool. Lots of reach and very good sharpness. Finally, if you can find the 08 and 03 lenses then yo...

Pentax vision
Just had a thought - perhaps the Pentax vision is aimed at Olympus users who might be looking for a new home that values traditional quality, the photography experience and isn't the Big Two... Steve Olympus users are used to a teeny weeny sensor so unless Ricoh bring back the Q I can't see them ...

FULL FRAME OR APS-C
Hi, I have been mulling over a shift from my current kit, APS-C K3 ll, to the Full Frame K1 ll and wonder what folk think about a comparison between the 2 sensor sizes. The more I search the more confused I become. I have a pretty eclectic mix regarding photos taken, street, landscape, wildlife etc....

FULL FRAME OR APS-C
Hi Anstonian I had the same dilemma as you, I had a K-3, a K-5iis and then recently bought a KP and sold the K-5iis. However, I need several cameras as I will be running photography tuition and walks in Corfu this year and will need to loan out equipment. So, I also bought a K-1 a month or so b...
