on the image sensor size I can tell you this for certian....
I was able to mix video footage from a go pro hero, and the kr with 10-17 fisheye lens, both shot outdoors in good light.... you'd be hard pressed to figure out which was which... in low light the kr blows the go pro away...
so I'd think under most circumstances, outdoors on vacation, indoors with flash, the Q is gonna deliver the goods that will satisfy many photographers. I hope to see a k-mount big Q.

as for price... it is a lot easier to lower the price after release, than it is to raise the price, so if a market price adjustment is needed, I can understand why they'd start high.....

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! oh well.... I'm sure ther'll be a lot of pc users out there that will be gratefull for the tip....

I don't trust anything Microsoft. I'm sure it will turn my pictures into a love solid blue.... followed by a need to uninstall and re-install the camera os, which won't work unless I upgrade the af modual, which will then develop a driver conflict with the battery, which upon replacing, the new battery will carry trojans and malware that will afflict ........ God I hate Microsoft....

truthfully, whenever a tripod isn't being carried, the next best options consist of a manfrotto superclamp and ball head, as well as a bean bag.....

see, you can always find what you're looking for locally... why order from austrailia, when there is a bag sale at a Eunic store, at a local mall?

I'd go with the forty.. Just because I don't have that one. I have the 35 and the 50....

the wide angle distortion perspective is minimized or exaggerated by how far you are from the subject.... so the 35 is fine for couples shots, by the time you're back far enough to get them both in, the perspective is fine.... 50mm is gonna be too tight I suspect.

I even shoot a lot of indoor stuff with the 16-45 which is my main workhorse for that type of work.

just remember back away as far as you can, then zoom in with the lens, if using a zoom, or choose the focal length that works if using primes...
the 35 2.4 is the one prime, I feel everybody should have in their bag....

cyberclean works works, as does the magic eraser...





I like the cyberclean... when ever my wife starts nagging, I push my fingers into the cyberclean and it makes fart sounds. soon the kids are laughing so hard, Gerri gets completely drowned out and she gives up.

you can't sell those legally, and shouldn't call them Broads.
yep that is a problem.
and I simply don't do it.

That my friend is what a receipt book is for. Seems to me there are an awful lot of people out there that don't mind buying recreational drugs off people they know are tax evaders... that sponser crime.. and criminals who go around killing people... if those people wanna judge me for demanding LEGAL CURRENCY for a LEGAL SERVICE... F'em.

our wedding clients are different... we take cheques for booking. !/3 on booking, 1/3 a month before the wedding, and if those clear ok we'll take a cheque for the 1/3 on delivery. Any reasons to doubt the couple, and it is cash from "here on out".

there are some people out there, you'd be better off taking rolled pennies from than a cheque... and if you take plastic the banks get all your profit margin... F 'em all!!!
I didn't pay my gubment to print/mint the money just so I could pay the banks to rob me of it.

also a good idea for Pro Photography in general. We live in an age where a customer can eat up your time, use your talent, put wear and tear on your equipment, copy the product and cancel the cheque/credit card transaction within minutes of leaving your studio. You can't get it back, you can't take it back... so unless I know you, the policy is cash on the barrelhead.
