Whatever device you're using to post on here, it appears to be a little too forward-thinking to allow you easily to get the quotes right You never mention the IPS this time John.

That's interesting Glowingblue, because plenty of people would have attributed exactly the same sentiments that you express about Microsoft to Apple. They might argue that Apple controls the apps available to a degree bordering on strangulation, thus limiting freedom.
Just for the record I use an iPad, it's retina screen being excellent. I wouldn't use it for image manipulation though, that's the hard way to achieve things IMHO.

I've always wondered about this argument for grips. Have peoples hands grow so much that a modern DSLR is too small for them? How did anyone ever manage to hold a film SLR and take great photos with it?A grip can be the deciding factor between buying a camera or not. There are plenty that say their hands are too big for a non gripped Pentax DSLR, and there are others who believe the grip improves the balance with longer lenses.
The notion that a grip improves the 'balance' is another thing I don't get. A lens sticking out the front of a camera is intrinsically unbalanced - that's why big lenses have tripod mounts.
And since the CG of the grip is immediately below the CG of the body, I don't see how the grip affect the balance at all.
So what do people actually mean by 'balance' in this context?

No. The growing consensus seems to be that the D7000 has a Sony sensor, the D7100 has a Toshiba one, and the K-3 has a new (ie not the one in the D7000) Sony one.davidstorm wrote:

I read that both use a Sony sensor but the K3 has an updated version of the Sony 24mp sensor. I have no idea where i read that now.JonSchick wrote:
I'm not so sure....I compared at IR with the Nikon D7100 instead, which I understand uses the same sensor and also loses the low pass filter.
I think the D7100 uses a different sensor Jon, made by Toshiba?I'm not so sure....I compared at IR with the Nikon D7100 instead, which I understand uses the same sensor and also loses the low pass filter.

So the buttons don't work right, and nor does a battery.
It makes the camera look bigger, though, right?

24MP or not, if it's going to give me a noisier result, I can't use it, irrespective of all the new gismos it has. I prefer less noisy 16MP images which are more than adequate for me.
If downsampling the 24MP to 16MP makes the noise levels comparable, then if the AF is as much better as we're all hoping, you're still likely to end up with more keepers with the K-3 if you're shooting motorsport in poor light.24MP or not, if it's going to give me a noisier result, I can't use it, irrespective of all the new gismos it has.

Although the sensor stains would never have been detectable on any of the above images. Definitely not at 800px, and probably not at 100% either unless you were lucky and happened to spot them in one of the areas of uniform colour.
