A little Pentax, maybe?
I had a little play with a Samsung NX10, today. I was in Jessops, just seeing if my local branch has started stocking Pentax again, as had been reported here, recently. No Pentax in sight. My eye was caught by a cute little Samsung, tho'. The NX10. I stood looking at it for a while. A salesman asked...

A little Pentax, maybe?
Yes. That's all true, John, though the EVF in the NX10 looked pretty good to me, albeit for the few minutes I played with the camera in the shop. The sensor size is the let down for me, and the reason why I wouldn't buy the Samsung. It makes the camera pretty much just like a slightly scaled down ve...

The Samsung NX100 looks much more compact. I hope Pentax comes up with something similar, and I hope they also go with APSC sensors to maintain the use of normal DA lenses via an adaptor (the Samsung version lacks the electrical contacts AFAIK). The K-5 sensor would be nice!!! Pentax have yet to ...

You can get an adapter for the NX10 so you can use your Pentax lenses on it :wink:. Yes, but I can use my Pentax lenses on my Pentax. You can also get an adapter to use M42 lenses on the NX10, but again, I do that with the IstD too. I suspect that most of the people buying this new type of camer...

And I'd be tempted towards a high quality compact over a micro-4/3 camera - some compacts have larger sensors than that! Really? Only the APS-C compacts like the Sigma and Leica and some but not all of the Ricoh modules. Other than that, the 4/3 sensor is very much larger than that in any other co...

Please Pentax, Pleeease!
This is going to be the big new market of this decade I feel. It would be very interesting to see how Pentax would improve the viewfinder issues with EVIL (Viewfinders slightly darker and light to sensor reduced slightly due to the current technology used) . I would hope that the APS-C sensor is bas...

I think I'd prefer it to have a 4/3 sensor, but I'd still get it, even with the APS-C. Pentax really NEED to make a compact interchangeable lens camera. Not to do so would be disastrous. We all know that Pentax make great SLRs, but that's not enough anymore. Lets face it, Pentax have always made ...

that is an older rumor... never happened... yet.. Pentax would be better served to put a pelicile mirror, and maybe an articulated lcd viewer into a kx and call it a day. Most Evils are only smaller than the kx until you put the lenses on them..... now put a pancake lens on the kx.... they...

to clarify what I'm saying... it costs money to engineer and retool for a new from the ground up camera.... now if you could take the tiniest model in the lineup... improve the video capabilities by controlling the heat from the sensor better... use a partially silvered pelicile mirror... (with Pe...

Chrissinkpen. Yes, I think they are lousy... And yes, I have tried other brands. The great majority of the kind of photography I like to do most, is done with Canon digital compacts and ancient Olympus film compacts. The Canons are an A70 and an S40. Both of them are very old models. The sad thi...

The trouble I find with compacts, and even more so with tiny ones, is camera shake. That's one of the reasons I went for the I-10 - it has proper sensor-shift SR.

What I'd really like is a W90 with a much improved low-light sensor, and build on the idea of the little lights around the lens to provide a proper integrated mini-ring flash. That'd be sweet for photographing underwater beasties.

The Sony T-900 I have has very good image stabilisation. You can clearly see it 'lock' in the LCD on half shutter press. I was actually q...

"We never rule anything out..."
Now I'll come across as grumpy, trolling or worse ... but I can't see much interesting information in that pathetic piece of journalism. Try doing this test: insert a negation and see if it makes sense, if not it is generally an indication that someone is just stating the obvious. 'if a product ...

"We never rule anything out..."
This is a remarkable admittance, though: When asked about how much input Pentax had into the design of the (Sony-built) sensor in the K-5, Pound explained: 'we had less input than we did in the previous generation, where we worked with Samsung.' I see Sony has just brought out at CES a range of £...
