Seconded.... best grip and hold of any camera I've had.The design used on the Z-1/Z-1p grip has never been surpassed. I used my Z-1p at the weekend with no problems, apart from the fact I wished the D-BG4/5 grips had the same facility.
I've never understood why the Z1-p wasn't more popular.

I can't see any problems with the speed of this site using Firefox on W7 64bit and XP Pro. It must be the users computers.

It's been confirmed by a reliable source that the FF will have a NEW sensor and be less than 46MP..... So probably between 36 and 46MP. It may well be released later than originally stated.

The size of the FF sensor is fixed. It's not elastic. A 23.7mm x 15.7mm crop out of that is also fixed. It's as simple as cutting a 23.7mm x 15.7mm hole in a 36x24mm film frame.
There's only one answer and only one way to do it
There might be a slight adjustment in the APS-C size to fit into the nearest suitable boundaries. It should be very close to the Nikon size (24x16): 4800 x 3200 = 15,360 pixels

It won't be an intimidating zoom without the intimidating hood He only uses one lens Nikon D3 + 70-300mm seen here ......If you have a large intimidating hood there's every chance it's attached to a large intimidating zoom lens.

He doesn't use a lens cap either.

For street photography you shouldn't have a large intimidating hood on the camera according to Jay Maisel and after photographing NY for 60 years he should know.....It's the first thing you should get rid of.

It's not mentioned on the blog... it is on his videos and courses.

So we will have to wait and see wether the lens mount / FF sensor is dimentionally re-configured or crop mode is achieved by simply processing (cropping) the image in the camera, which could be a little easier I suspect .
A very interesting muse to say the least.

DX format (24x16): 4800 x 3200 = 15,360 pixels
They also have an interesting 5:4 crop which might be too complex for Pentax users
5:4 (30x24): 6144 x 4912 = 30,179 pixels
Frame coverage drops from 100% to Approx. 97% horizontal and 97% vertical for APS-C.

Looks to be a very capable camera Seems to handle tricky light quite well.
I hope you didn't drop it down the staircase
Summer!!! Bah!!! It's more like the beginning of the 2nd winter

I am looking forward very much to the FF which I am sure will be a significant forward development that will not be overshadowed by the comparative competition , and for sure I will get one.
However I am also very interested in the performance of DA* lenses in the Cropped sensor mode (CSM) where arithmetically we can expect 24.7% bigger photo-sites on the full frame sensor configuration.
So apart from the obvious improvements from FF technology with dedicated or compatible FF Lenses, in CSM, projecting the the cropped image circle on to the much larger photosites on the FF sensor should give a better cropped image performance than the same cropped sensor lens on a K3 sensor, which is already pretty good.
So in Cropped sensor mode (CSM) we should get improved noise levels, better High ISO performance and improved dynamic range on existing lenses
I'm not sure what your on about here? The cropped sensor mode will use about 15.3MP of the 36/37MP sensor. So the results should be similar to a K-5 and not even as good as a K-3 I am looking forward very much to the FF which I am sure will be a significant forward development that will not be overshadowed by the comparative competition , and for sure I will get one.
