The beholders decide if it's art or not, there is no clear rule what is and what isn't.

Don't know if it's still true or not but Japanese love European stuff, they find it exotic. i am sorely tempted by a 180mm voigtlander.
So lenses like voigtländer and Carl Zeiss are probably more expensive in Japan because of that, but i can be wrong though, just don't keep your hopes high for a bargain with these lenses.

Output is something different then input not many computers have that capability for HDMI.
Can the K5 actually send the liveview over HDMI?

645D what other things are available in japan that aren't really available elsewhere?
And of course the multi coloured Km, Kx and Kr.
If we talk about lenses, you might find some shops but in general everything you can buy there can also be bought here as far as i know.

Really? Your ISO1600 images from your K10D look like the ISO1600 from the K-5 straight out of the camera, pixel for pixel? Mine look more like the 6400 ones!
Almost, I said there wasn't so much of an improvement pixel for pixel.Really? Your ISO1600 images from your K10D look like the ISO1600 from the K-5 straight out of the camera, pixel for pixel? Mine look more like the 6400 ones!
The K5 looks better but I prefer ISO1600 on the K10D over ISO3200 on the K5.
The K10D has more noise but it also holds more detail pixel for pixel off course.
No doubt the K5 will be better when printed because it has more pixels.

just proves dxo are duff, that shows the d7000 has better iso than the k5, which from what i have seen the k5 is atleast one stop better.

ISO 3200
ISO 6400
Here is also a big leap in quality just like the photos Alan showed from the k5, I doubt you should push it over ISO3200.

My comment was about this or through usb using the ipad camera conection kit and an ipad app to shoot tethered to the ipad.
There are Linux version that can run on ARM CPU, the same CPU that's in your iPad. That way you can have a full OS on it and have access to additional programs. However I don't know how well Linux will run on a iPad never looked at that.
I've no idea if there is a tethering Program for iOS but if there was I'm sure you would know that better then me.
That's why I suggested this potentially dangerous work around since I know of no other way.

As far as I know that one doesn't send "liveview" to your computer/iPad so you can't use it as a monitor to operate the camera with.maybe the eye-fi cards with an ipad ap would work in studio where you have a wireless network...

You compare them with each other and with your own cameras images taken at the same ISO, then you discover you need a K5Alan where do I compare them with, you call them comparison shots after all?

V. nice Spider, K5 ISO 6400 = K7 at ISO 1600, more or less. Talking of anal-retentive pixelpeeping, I wouldn't mind seeing 200% crops at 1/25, 1/80 and 1/250 - just to check there are no shutter-blur issues!
It's highly unlikely because the shutter is differnt.V. nice Spider, K5 ISO 6400 = K7 at ISO 1600, more or less. Talking of anal-retentive pixelpeeping, I wouldn't mind seeing 200% crops at 1/25, 1/80 and 1/250 - just to check there are no shutter-blur issues!
Of course it isn't bad to check

Here you go, don't know which camera it supports.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pkremote/
At least is seems to support the K10D, K20D and the K200D.
