K-1 Mk II
I was hoping for a medium format size sensor in a M-x mirrorless compact!

K-1 Mk II
Cameras with larger sensors write larger files which take longer to write to disk. So the smaller the sensor, the quicker the camera can write the files (everything else being equal.) Hence (I suspect) the reason smaller sensor cameras are more suited to sports/action. Using the right lens should...

I was hoping for a medium format size sensor in a M-x mirrorless compact! And all for £200, Gareth?

I was hoping for a medium format size sensor in a M-x mirrorless compact! And all for £200, Gareth? With a free cheap flimsy tripod, camera bag and memory card included! They'd take the market by storm :lol:

Why is there so many K3 for sale
Of course David, many disagree with you. The K-5 variants out perform the K-3 with regard to dynamic range and high ISO capabilities. For aurora shots and sunrise shots I'd use the K-5iis before the K-3. Hi Alan, you know a lot more than I do when it comes to using your cameras in more extreme condi...

Why is there so many K3 for sale
Yes, thanks, its a good clear comparison and the differences are there to see. The K70 obviously punches well above its weight in the IQ / Value ratios, and probably will represent an extraordinary bargain over time, as indeed the K50 has done before it. However, whilst instructive from a theore...

Why is there so many K3 for sale
But a camera is so much more than a sensor in a box. And it is often the physical aspects, controls and interfaces, accessory options and technical photographic aids included that will ensure the best capture. For me, I would still regard the K7 as a superior camera to the K70.

Why is there so many K3 for sale
Probably my angle on it is well known around here, and of course I like to play a little of the devils advocate ... :evil: ... Bit I do truly believe what I'm saying. I see a camera as an image capture device and the sensor is only a part of that. Specifically, I place great value on many tradit...

Why is there so many K3 for sale
I owned a KX then a KR before moving to a K5 and last year a K3. The entry models have upped specs since then with real pentaprisms and weather seals BUT have inferior noisy shutters, inferior sensor shake to clean method, and more plastic and less ergonomic bodies to name a few. I don't think the t...

Why is there so many K3 for sale
The entry level models might have plastic panels but they are still extremely well made and are an advantage to me as I tend to prefer a lighter camera if possible - I'm finding most of my photography is travel photography! But at the end of the day I'm with Andrew - IQ is most important! Have I...

Why is there so many K3 for sale
I've had a total of one camera since I came to the Pentax brand 4 and a half years ago ....a gearhead? :wink: The things I say I value most in a camera are all solid, practical aids to photography and efficiency when taking photos. Some of them have been part of high end SLR bodies since will befor...

Why is there so many K3 for sale
Then you misunderstand what I'm saying. The things I value in a camera, plus the accessory items that work together with it, all have an impact on image quality by giving a better experience, more efficiency/quicker operation, better handling etc. Those things add tangibly to image quality. Image q...

Why is there so many K3 for sale
:) We can call it that if you like ......I do find your image comparisons interesting of course. But really, there are many other important things I would look at in comparing cameras and making an upgrade choice, and some may even be more important than sensor performance data and detailed analysis...

Why is there so many K3 for sale
That seems to bring us back full circle, to where I said that the K70 clearly provides great value access to very good, modern sensor technology. From DXO reports I've seen, the K1 offers an approximate 1 to 1.5 stop gain across the ISO range, up to 12,800, over the K5 .... And this of course comes ...

Why is there so many K3 for sale
I think the priorities are different, from what you say .... If I was a professional photographer, then most definitely the output would be the main aim, and I would simply be choosing the best tools that would give the best output, depending on the style of images and conditions I worked in (eg wed...

Why is there so many K3 for sale
Yes, it really is, in fact it has exceeded them both for image quality and the physical aspects (build, handling, autofocus) .... It's great, the best thing I could have bought for the 399.00.

Why is there so many K3 for sale
Nigel, I can understand everything you have written in this thread, and I tend to agree with you. What I don't understand is, bearing in mind that it would seem to me that your real priority is your growing family, why you would even think of spending on a K-1, when you could have a K-3 right now fo...

A Question about the Q
I'm sure you will be happy printing A4 with a Q. If printing bigger is stretching it too far, consider the Q7 or QS1, both of which are frequently sold on ebay for approx £100. No need to buy additional lenses and you'll get the advantage of a wider angle of view with the bigger sensor, even if it...

Lets be honest...
Some of my best and favourite photos are ones I took with my K50. However there were a number of rejects where the light conditions were more demanding, which is where the K-1 really comes into its own. The benefit of the larger sensor is not just big prints but the much greater dynamic range availa...
