Even the camera angle...

And now how is camera angle a lie....I think the camera angle would be the angle that the photographer first visualizes and then makes the camera catch that angle. That angle of view exists and its true and real. Also agree with what Pentaxophile mentions....three points out of four....The last one - special effects like fisheye lenses....too looks unnatural to me.

It is possible to arrange a subject to change the emphasis within its environment. The relationship between parts of the image can be emphasised or de-emphasised, the size by changing height, and so on. The camera lies allo the time because we direct it.

But I think more people will be aware of the K-01 than the new models from Nikon and Canon. It's all over the web and press and all over the lifestyle and outdoor magazines. Even architecture and design magazines are talking about it.

I don't know, but I suspect pentax will happily sell whatever their production target has been.

Can't it? Even without manipulation, is not anything but a standard lens for a format a "lie" of sorts? Even the camera angle...but then it's not the camera but the photographer who creates the "lie".

Photography has taught us how to cheat since it was invented. Everything you can do in Photoshop can be done in camera or in the darkroom. Not so quickly, but it can be done.

Painting also taught us how to cheat - how much did Constable re-arrange his landscapes, for example?

It's all down to artistic licence and inspiration and the desire to express the world as we see it.

Let's get back on topic.....I have to admit that the title of this thread puzzled me a bit....

Would I want a Special Edition K-5? Not really, I prefer black. I spent my MX and ME Super days aspiring to but not being able to afford the extra for the black versions, so i won't want silver now!

To be fair, Kodak have not actually gone out of business, but have filed for bancruptcy protection. They have withdrawn from several manufacturing areas. Clearly anything that doesn't make money will be ditched.

Polaroid did this quite some time ago and are still, sort of, around.

All Pentax lenses are good lenses, although obviously there will be advantages to the more expensive ones in the range.

We need good lenses as a poor picture will not be saved by Photoshop.

However, it's a partnership. All digital images will be improved by some post processing, even if only crop, levels and sharpening. It doesn't need to be CS5 though, Elements will do very nicely for most straightforward photographic work.
