Isn't the K-5 sensor also in a Sony DSLR?

Interestingly, Pentax seem to get better quality out of Sony's sensor than Sony can. Clearly the sensor itself is not the only factor.

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 £...

Interestingly, Pentax seem to get better quality out of Sony's sensor than Sony can. Clearly the sensor itself is not the only factor. I've noticed that too. I know someone who has a Sony Alpha with (we think - they're both 10mp) the same sensor as my K-m, and there's a definite difference. It mi...

Its a smaller 'exmor' sensor, same technology behind it. I wish sony WERE using the k-5, or any APSC, sensor in their compacts though!

Its a smaller 'exmor' sensor, same technology behind it. I wish sony WERE using the k-5, or any APSC, sensor in their compacts though! Just been looking into this ... These new smaller sensors are 'Exmor R', rather than just 'Exmor', and are backlit versions which is different to the version in the ...

I'm waiting for the next generation, the Dartmor sensor. Sorry.

I'm waiting for the next generation, the Dartmor sensor. Sorry. Nah. It would be crystal clear one moment and then cloud over in seconds flat.

The downside is that they are slower to use. It takes longer to save a picture to the card and have it show up on the rear screen... Good point! When playing with the one in SRS we did notice the write times were a little on the slow side. To be fair though it is having to write huge amounts of dat...

I am with Don. Also it is out of my range for some time to come but when they would bring out the Pentax 645D with Ultra High Definition Video (UHDV), this way they could make use of the larger sensor, I would seriously consider selling everything to get a decent set with an 645 together. I do shoo...

:wink: Well I read through the links but they rather confirm what I thought anyway. Yes, the resolution is higher (by some margin) than "Full HD" as shot by most digicams, however, the physical sensor size of the Red One is roughly that of a Micro FourThirds camera and the "Massive" (Red's words,...

well, "HD" is just the start... 1440p is coming and the race for mindshare in terms of what Hi-Res really means continues. 4K is coming and I'd give it 3-4 years before it's being demanded and another 3-4 before blu-ray is "too small". Just like DVD before it.... Bret I don't disagree, but th...

Would the heat generation from such a large sensor not make video extremely difficult to implement? I wonder if when we get to this level of resolution whether or not it isn't better to just use a video camera?

We had this argument over video d-slrs not too long ago... adding video won't hurt image quality... k10 vs k5... think about it... ccd and cmos are both used for video sensors in pro video cameras.... heat and other issues can be addressed... what would be needed is the computing power of the k5 ...

no, its still complete rubbish Don...there is no market for a "Medium Format DSLR Video Camera". At all. For £10k you can rent a lot of pro HD camera, RED camera, 35mm camera, 70mm camera, IMAX camera, etc... The (limited) market for 4k video shooting is so you can play around in Post and edit do...
