No more Pentax for me!...
Mowog - the point that intrigues me is not so much your frustration with lack of FF Pentax but your comment that your next camera purchase is likely to be a Pansonic G1. My wife has a Lumix compact which is excellent, but I've never quite seen the appeal (or dare I say it, the purpose? :wink:) of t...

I am just thinking that Digital photography is no longer in it's infancy. Perhaps now would be a good time for all the manufacturers to agree on a standard for camera sensors. Just two, for high end cameras. FF for SLRs and Micro four thirds for changeable lens compacts. To this could be added tiny...

I can understand the lure of 35mm sensor size - mainly in terms of better viewfinder and more control over depth of field. But for me, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages... not least of which is that you need really top end glass with a larger sensor, so unless your lens collection is of...

I want my 50mm to be a 50mm, not a 75mm. I want my 200 to be 200mm, not 300mm. It's all about the crop factor. NOT QUALITY. I think that's the reason why most people want an FF slr. Is it? :? Pentax has the 645, I don't think they have a need to go FF, or am I wrong?, and they have a cracking l...

Alright, if we're going on with it... I want a Panasonic G1 as a replacement for my compact cameras. Not as a replacement for my SLR. Most of us have an SLR and a compact. It's not an either or situation. I want a small camera for the reason you all have one. The G1 is small like a compact, but m...

What I want is a P70 sized camera with the sensor from the 645D and a 10mm - 600mm zoom lens with a constant 2.8 aperture and the quality of my FA 31 Ltd........and just one more thing, at full stretch the lens should only protrude 10mm from the body. But I may asking for too much.

Because the sensor is smaller a smaller part of the lens is used so any fault there will be larger relative compared to a larger...

I used to think I really needed a FF camera, so just last month I sold my K10d and bought a Canon 5D Mk1. One thing I do like is the bigger view finder. Noise level's at high ISO's was better Thats about it really, image quality is not noticible any better. The ergonomics are awfull co...

I guess the difference for me (I wasn't trying to be argumentative, but clearly I was, so sorry for that) is I buy cameras for two reasons... to work with and because I like them. I just see a good camera that happens to be more cost effective because my old lenses work well. I just don't see...

If ever there was a thread I wish I'd never started, it's this one! Peter. You are bemused because you have not fully understood (or I have not put well enough) my previous comments in this thread. I'm sure newer Pentax Dslr cameras are much better than my istD, but not in the way I want. I...

I'm still a little puzzled as to how a small sensor bridge camera helps you, as in this case the crop factor will still be there but even more so. If you really want a full frame DSLR there are a few on the market, at a price of course.

I think the OP's point was that he wants two things: a small interchangeable-lens camera for taking everywhere Funny enough the Sony NEX camera's carry an APS-C sensor and are smaller than Panasonic and Olympus micro 4/3th offerings :wink:

Aye, I heard that as well. No issue though as my only Minolta body is the Maxum 7D (Canon must of thought 7D was also worth having)? It uses the same sensor as the istD and was the first DSLR to use in body IS. I'll find a FF Sony out there some where with my name on it. Regards

Not wishing to extend this too much but there will be many Pentax DSLR users who have invested significantly in APS lenses over the last 7 years. Most of this glass will be un-usable on a FF sensor. I would be surprised therefore if Pentax bring out a FF DSLR. They would then need to support 3 diffe...
