Pentax FF Dead, Maybe
I've never used an EVF (Pentax don't make one and it's really off topic on this forum) but I'd be very surprised if the electronics could cope with say and f/1.2 lens and a whitish subject without stopping down the lens. Hopefully Pentax will never make one and I'll never need to know. Edit:...

What do you want in a sensor
Given a choice, what would be isthing you find most important in a sensor (or what would you like to be better)? I realise that we actually want 'all of the above' or a combination so ask yourself what single thing you would like to be better on your current sensor.

Dynamic range I think.

Trouble is the first three are interrelated and sensor improvement is going to improve them all so its not really a question of choosing between them. Pixel count is the only truly independent variable there and it's probably the least important (IMO).

Sorry, but what does 'isthing' mean? I think a larger (FF) sensor might be useful which should provide improvements in all those categories and suffer less from lens aberations. John K

Of those listed lower noise and more dynamic range I think. Not fussed about FF, or more pixels.

What do you want in a sensor
compared to my current camera (in my case a K10D), or the current Pentax range? compared to my K10D, it's lower noise followed closely by higher ISO. compared to the current range, for me it's dynamic range. For me, pixel count has been high enough since the *istD

What do you want in a sensor
I went for other, as I just don't think the sensor in my K30 is lacking, it has enough resolution, dynamic range, noise is fine... I think pentax will have a hard time selling me a camera based on sensor improvements. For me it's things like improved af-c with customisation, such as closest focus pr...

Lower noise followed by a higher pixel count. Although a higher pixel count is not important to many people it is to us that like shooting aircraft/birds/boats or anything requiring a long lens. Being able to crop much harder with less noise would be great.

Sorry, but what does 'isthing' mean? Oops. :oops: I was curious, but it seems (from early results) that it is the dynamic range most of us want. The reason I asked is it seems to be a thing which is rarely mentioned in reviews and the one aspect where digital still hasn't caught up with film....

What do you want in a sensor
Pan F is a negative film, so one normally exposed for the shadows with that to prevent detail being lost in them whereas digital is more akin to slide film where one exposed for the highlights, as we do now. So that comparison isn't really fair. As can be shown there is plenty of detail in the sh...

Another vote for higher dynamic range, shortly followed by higher ISO ability

Dynamic range for me too. Regards David

What do you want in a sensor
For me, forget about "1st thing".. The last thing I'd want is a higher pixel count. What I would like to see is that more information is available to the guts of the camera's circuitry from the sensor in terms of light, focus, dynamic range, etc. If I were to compare it to a computer's CPU, what ...

Gary - I don't know about you, but shutter-lag from digital cameras really "rips my knitting"..!! It's fine if you are doing portraits, but I can only imagine that when you are shooting concert footage and the like, your brain and shutter-finger has to be a split-second ahead of the action. God only...

Higher ISO! Also would like lower noise and better DR, but I suspect these things are very inter-related?

Didn't answer poll is it's flawed. The first two are both effects of the third. i.e Higher dynamic range gives you less and noise and better ISO performance. And yes I would like higher dynamic range. Not so bothered about more pixels. Although it is handy for tight cropping
