How many photographers use video function on DSLR
The Pentax K3 has some impressive glass specs for video, but... With a sensor that large and using ANY available settings... It's actually "more difficult" to capture quality video than a camera with a smaller sensor; even one such as a GH4. But for current model dslr's nothing quite gets close t...

Rogue ISO settings
It's not something I've considered much myself. I do wonder if it's a canon specific thing or if it's comon to all? http://petapixel.com/2011/05/02/use-iso-numbers-that-are-multiples-of-160-when-shooting-dslr-video/ It seems to relate to real ISO sensor analogue gain steps vs software simula...

Suitable camera for food photography
No to the MX IMO. the sensor is too small for creative results in a range of situations and the lens options?? I think the K-01 is the best bang for your buck and a £30 m 50mm 1.7 would be ideal, especially with a short extension tube to get close. Then spend the rest on lights (yongnuo and brolly ...

Suitable camera for food photography
Maria, I've not used a K-01 and it would probably be perfect, with the right lens but despite the MX-1's small sensor it takes brilliant close-ups and does so very easily. The small sensor is actually an advantage as it yields good depth of field. I think we (I, actually) need to reassess what moder...

No to the MX IMO. the sensor is too small for creative results in a range of situations and the lens options??. Couldn't disagree more. It's one of those surprising cameras. Of course, as you know the MX-1 is not an ILC. But creative results? That depends on the operator :wink:

Very interesting topic regarding APS-C & FF
with the same shutter speed and f-number, a larger sensor will be exposed to more light than a smaller one and more light allows better image quality Muddy thinking in a couple of places in the article, including the one quoted.

Very interesting topic regarding APS-C & FF
Sorry but it is far from myth when full frame almost always produces better results; not myth - scientific fact. Is it? on what basis? And to the right of that article is a list of most popular cameras which shows the Nikon D750 going great guns. That's because D600 and D700 users only now h...

Very interesting topic regarding APS-C & FF
I think that article is utter nonsense. Both 'arguments' are flawed and untrue. Firstly, thinking about and planning a potential upgrade in sensor size from aps-c to FF does not imply ' that is the sole aspiration to strive for' .????. Sorry, what? What fancy of invention did that spring from? A sen...

To further explain the "it is" and "on what basis" Stop by any camera shop which happens to sell full frame or any school which has photography classes and/or majors. Even the math department in most schools can very clearly prove it. But if one were to take ANY Pentax 16mp sensor and then lin...

How would you respond to my post earlier then Jonathon, about lens choices suitable for both formats? Regarding the quote and comment about a larger sensor getting 'more light' .. well the commonly understood meaning of 'more' for lighting is surely 'brightness', or light levels, or 'lumens' (is ...

I'm looking forward to using my FF lenses on FF digital ... One day !? .... Meantime they're doing fine service on aps-c. I'm not sure I understand what is not suitable about the focal lengths of my FF lenses for aps-c? And as I said earlier, I've never been told I'd get better images by choosing a...

No sensor affects how much light there is.....what is true that larger photosites can be more sensitive and therefore the signal needs less amplification, but that definitely doesn't affect how much light there is.

In practice , whatever the technical differences that lead to higher quality, their significance is really individual. This is broken into two parts .... Firstly, how a person manages and processes that photos (eg do they example them in great detail looking for technical issues) and secondly the re...

I'm sure if we all had a camera with a big fat 35mm sized sensor our pictures would be so much better. 1x5 times better, probably, at least. I know mine would be. It's the only thing holding me back. I blame the weedy sensors in my cameras for all my short-comings as a photographer. Of course, if...

Sorry for the levity gents, but one grows so tired of this age old chestnut being warmed over time and again. I'm sure some of my favourite photographs this year have been taken with my MX-1 which has a sensor the same size as my wife's little fingernail. I'll be good in the future while I think...
