You can compare them now http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos60D/page19.asp

The K5 does do it better than the D7000 but the photos look softer.
The 60D looks sharper then those two and the 50D looks even sharper.
Might it be the lens that's lacking?

Also the file size of the JPG from the K5 is very strange.
It's even smaller then the 50D....

Stage photography is one thing they won't work with, because the part where you sit is most of the time dark while you've lighting aimed at the stage.
Because the light sensor is on the flash it meters a different light than what's on your sensor (stage).

PTTL is your only option or Manual.

Specsavers won't help, getting a K7 or K5 will

These are the Pentax lenses you can get new now http://www.pentaximaging.com/camera-lenses/
And these the Nikon http://www.nikonusa.com/Nikon-Products/Camera-Lenses/index.page

Pentax has 30
Nikon 72

AS far as I know they used digital zoom inside liveview on the K20D.

So for example lets say the normal liveview has 800x600 pixels.
If you zoom in 2x the camera does not adapt so that a smaller part of the sensor is used but it will zoom in the 800x600 liveview so it becomes 400x300 and if you zoom in 4x it becomes 200x150.

They changed that with the K7.

Yeah they are indeed used to it.
You've probably less to worry then in London

The real question is, is it right for an adult to use a child that way?
All she did was give the child a lollipop and then take it away, in that aspect i dont find it wrong but is it right to do that just for the photo?
I find that a very hard question to answer, it's not my style but she didn't cause harm in anyway so...

Maybe Gwyn can help, only been to Amsterdam several times.

Gwyn, there is a connecting with Sally Mann so you were close.

I believe it was a year ago.
It was about a British photographer but she lived in the USA i believe.
So took photos of her child everyday and she collected and showed those photos in one of her expositions.
It was showed in New York if I remember correctly without much problems but when news arrived of the photos getting shown in england things got out of hand... I think she showed the photos here for just one day or not at all.


Sorry for that fragmented comment I can't remember the artists name so it's hard to find the article.

Does it ring a bell with someone?
It must have been in 2009 or late 2008
