Not having owned any of those, and not having really looked at the specs on them I didn't know.
I am just happy that my next camera has it.
The dark frame NR off switch is the real hooray for me though .
Now who's going to get it in stock soon? Chris?????

Looks fab, hope the AF really has improved as much as they're saying. Having recently decided that any new purchases must be funded by sales of old stuff (bet you've all heard that before!), I'm already plotting what lenses I will dispense with to afford this thing!

Looks like it has most of the answers, but as far as I am concerned, it's the auto focus and sensor quality improvements that are key.
Now - who is going to be the first to buy one - test it - then let us all know if it's worth the £££

What is the advantage of that
On current Pentax models take a long exposure, and the DFNR kicks in which ties the camera up for an equal time, also if you are doing long exposure interval shots you have to double the time between shots. So trying to say take 40 shots of 60 seconds each over an hour cannot be done.What is the advantage of that
Other brands allow you to take 1 or 2 dark frames during the session, thus speeding things up.

heard there is some talk of using sensor to "Tune" the sensor position to specific lenses????
does that mean the sensor now shifts forwards and backwards to get rid of front/back focus?

Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

Still shooting in the dark (literally and metaphorically)...
