Hmmm, I been shooting the K5 & K5iis at ISO quite a lot recently as I like to recreate a some film grain in B&W mode, (avoiding any PP and pretending its an MX loaded with Kodak 400bw).

If you look at the previous shot:

the improvement is minimal if any.......

Yes a Pentax MX digital mirrorless Full Frame would be sooo good. MX is such fantastic design, I don't need anymore controls either or built in photoshop just full manual and that lovely big viewfinder....

Kudos to Sony, I handled by colleagues D800 yesterday, no no no, not for for me, walking about with a brick like that is not my idea of a good photographic experience

According to a Ricoh IR presentation:
"As a result of transformation of the camera business, we established Ricoh Imaging by integrating Ricoh and PENTAX. We are forecasting a profit for this bus@iness within this fiscal year."

"In the other segment, we will continue to pour resources into Digital SLRs, Mirrorless cameras and Ricoh’s conventional high-end compact cameras to make this into a solid business. We are seeing an increase in share and expect healthy growth."

"Digital SLR (single lens reflex) cameras, mirrorless SLRs and premium compact cameras are very popular, and selling well."
Very positive stuff

Have to say I had some serious buyers remorse comparing my Gx10 images with the K5........ however having owned a 2nd hand k5iis for the last 2 weeks I cam safely say technology has moved on significantly

I would agree with Dr O's comments, I have no problems with it, other than I prefer it in B&W.

B&W brings out the baby's face and the road wear marks. Compositionally there is nothing wrong with challenging the viewer with lopsided or unbalanced compos every once and a while, the painter Piet Mondriaan made a career out of it....
