I think the output from CMOS sensors tends to look softer than that from CCD sensors "straight from the camera" so I'm not surprised it doesn't compare that well to the K10 and K100. As JR says, you'll just have to start using a bit more software sharpening to bring the detail out.
Unfortunately I doubt we'll ever see CCD sensors in "consumer" level cameras again - it's the price we've paid for high ISO performance.

Maybe that's what they'll be using on the old FA645 lenses?google: conductive epoxy

As always, it's not a certainty but it just goes to show that there's never a free lunch.

Interesting to see them suggesting the possibility of re-releasing the FA645 lenses in Europe again - they must have found a way around the toxic solder problem.
Just like getting TEL away from petrol, lead is out of solder. All good?Very true!

Whether it's a good thing is hotly debateable, but it's happened and I can't see the EU turning back. Somewhere out there though I'm sure somebody's working on a formula for solder with all the properties of lead but without the actual lead in it - once they perfect it I'm also sure they'll be very, very rich.

I get the same thing most winters - can't get up any enthusiasm to go out taking photos when the weather's as grim as it has been. It usually turns around once spring arrives and I start going to shows and events again.

Very true!

So the entire Japanese allocation of silver DA Limiteds sold out within 24 hours? Can't wait to see what prices they turn up at on eBay!

The DA has a metal mount, Quick-Shift manual focus override and is supplied with a hood.
The DA-L (for Lightweight) has a plastic mount, no Quick-Shift and no supplied hood (although you can buy the latter seperately).
There is no optical difference between the two.
