yes it has been asked many times.
my answer is this... if you have to ask "is it worth it?"... then the answer is probably "No".
If you came up asking "I'm repeatedly losing shots to slow af, and noise and slow framerates, and need a better camera... is the k5 significantly better for sports and low light?" then the answer would definitely be yes.

Welcome, and bring on the questions. On this Forum there are no such things as daft questions, although I can't say the same for some of the answers.
Point well made.

It can fire before a sound? If it can detect something before it's happened, our notions of time are evidently wrong
yeah I think we should start looking at time as if it were bound by the same physics as FLUID dynamics... therefor you can't travel through time, but bubbles in time or cresting waves SHOULD allow you to see reflections of things in both directions relative to your current position....also means the flow of time is variable and subject to currents, not linear....

You do realise that if you just program it with the content of a couple of photographic courses it'll be at a similar level to a lot of people who call themselves pros?
not saying much really... a chimp with a camera on auto can fair pretty well too....

I even had one competitor that used to go around my area, here, bashing me, log into this very forum under a false name to ask me for help with his photo problems.... basic crap he should have known long before he started calling himself a pro... He even has an alias on linkedin and tried to add me to his network there! lol!

Have you ever thought camera flash was not very interesting? click on the link and take a look at a very creative video.

I thought it was very clever!

I saw that as well. didn't watch the whole thing... They could have done the same thing for a fraction of the cost by modding those cheap $5.00 strobes you buy at party supply stores. I think they missed a real opportunity here.... they should have extended the cameras all around for 360 deg coverage, then programmed the cameras in front to snap photos as the cameras within it's fov fired patterns in the background... then take all the photos of the bands and made stop frame animation video clips of the band and then cut those to make an actual rock video.... or is that what they eventually did? cause I didn't watch the whole thing....
EDIT:
oops never mind, that is what they did! now I like it, glad I went back and watched it again!

Well I'm just kidding.... saw the title and thought 64 bit raw files at capture... gotta be a joke... then realized what he meant! lol!
I thought the same thing ^^
You apple user already have most of the RAW codes right?
we apple users generally don't think in terms of "have most of the RAW codes right" or not. We just plug it in and it works.
