Funnily enough, the D3X is widely known as the best camera on the market at the moment, even Canon agree to this!Beside, quite often, I find Nikon cameras are overrated. They are good cameras, but they're not the Holy Grail.
The mid range cameras of Nikon, currently the D90 and up are very good but there budget cameras surely aren't the best in their range.
Didn't play with the D5000 though.
Also about you comment before that, I know you've made your choice but beside that I don't think you will find the K7 + grip to be smaller then the K20D + grip. Really try it before you say that it feels small.

I take your point, but RAW always needs PP. It's part of the process. We are trying to see what the camera is capable of producing at the final stage.
Well okay but to are so much variables and how things might turn out.I take your point, but RAW always needs PP. It's part of the process. We are trying to see what the camera is capable of producing at the final stage.
And how can you be sure you did the best thing with a photo and are they still comparable then?
I find it hard to say which one is better.
Even when looking in this forum the K20D has a different sensor then many of the other cameras (K10D, K200D and KM have the same sensor)
I wouldn't be able to pick the K20D out of the bunch maybe some can but not me though.

That would be hard George also I don't want to see how someones PP skills are and find it irrelevant for comparing cameras.
So both shot in RAW and converted to jpg with default program settings would be better.

Is a Nikon lens on both also good? link
Btw it's funny to see the K20D had the colour of the figure right and the D300 not

The 300 is totally different optically. The 200 has the same number of elements and groups, and the arrangement looks the same. See the lens diagrams on Boz's site.
Obviously the bodies are different in both cases.
Yes, yes I know George, just make a mistake in wording myself The 300 is totally different optically. The 200 has the same number of elements and groups, and the arrangement looks the same. See the lens diagrams on Boz's site.
Obviously the bodies are different in both cases.

George the thread on Pentax forums states that both the DA 16-50 and 50-135 show vignetting, not too surprised by this as they are older reworked Tokina designs. Speculating further, it may be why the Tokina 11-16 has not made its way over to Pentax.
Don't think we will see a FF though.George the thread on Pentax forums states that both the DA 16-50 and 50-135 show vignetting, not too surprised by this as they are older reworked Tokina designs. Speculating further, it may be why the Tokina 11-16 has not made its way over to Pentax.
With the upcoming 645D they need to maintain 3 lens lines.
Lenses for APS-C, FF and also 645 don't see them do that since the 645D would need some new lenses fast to make it attractive.
And we have DA markings now meaning that they are for APS-C sensor so they need to rebadge the lot then to make clear they also work on FF.
the DFA lenses are digital lenses that was designed for digital and FF so why didn't they used that then for their lenses that also work on FF?

Yep Other way around, I think.

Was thinking about that they redesigned body around the Lens elements.

Actually Stefan it's pretty easy to do with the RAW+ button, I just made a comparison between the DNG and Jpeg in CaptureOne 4.8, the difference is quite obvious
Ah yes but you said it also does it when you shoot RAW only, it's of course logical it does it to the JPG image with RAW+ but why does it have to do it with only RAW.Actually Stefan it's pretty easy to do with the RAW+ button, I just made a comparison between the DNG and Jpeg in CaptureOne 4.8, the difference is quite obvious
So if it does it to the JPG preview in the RAW file you know why it does it.

The preproduction models had an adapted K20D sensor with four channels so that it could handle movie mode and the FPS.The sensor was modified again between pre-production models, like that which Unlocker was using for 2 weeks , and the production models on sale now.

Well Pentax only has APS-C sensor at the moment and it was you starting to talk about a FF model so if you can do that why can't I throw in a MF in the mix?
If you don't want movie mode on your DSLR I think you're unlucky since it seems that 90% of the DSLR from this point will be having movie mode.
The upcoming D300s for example is rumored to have movie mode.
