I've never seen a camera with a 55-inch sensor.

But seriously, it's print making where the difference can be seen. As for the web, my *istDS images still look absolutely fine. printed, we can tell the difference between all the developments of the DSLR.

We can also print books and magazines, which need the highest quality.

Matt, when photographed is the light actually white or does it have a strong blue bias?

So keeping them in camera bags isn't recommended?
Not unless designed for long term storgae. Leather lens cases are the worst, such as those used up to the 1980s.

To be fair Dave, the 100mm Macro wasn't the right lens for that job, a standard zoom would have been better.

I haven't had any problems with the K-5 in low light. If i can see to manual focus the K-5 can autofocus. The K-5 can be more accurate than me as well in those low light conditions. The K-5 II may well be better again, but that's just a bonus.

Maybe dehumidifiers would help?

Lenses are best stored in dry conditions, cool, and with plenty of air circulation.

The extra resolution only really being worth it on images that are printed or viewed full size
Yes, and for me that's the point. I do make large prints. If I only shot images for the web I wouldn't be thinking about it.

I know Mathers of Lancashire and they are OK. Not very far from us, so you must be local suzzypoo? Are you a camera club member somewhere?

You'll fins some of us here: www.adaps.org.uk so if you need any help you know where to look!

infact I find both cameras quite uninteresting
That's fine, but don't you find the trend towards having no AA filter interesting? It could prove to be the way for the future and I find that interesting enough in itself.

It's a little vague Dave, but I would check the lens is mounted well and then if there's something happening that didn't happen previously it might be a good idea to have it looked at.

A reset to factory defaults would be a double check that something has not been set unexpectedly.
