And Again.

For me, seeing the posts from this guy and considering some of his shots were of Royal Terns which are really swoopy kind of birds, this puts the BIF argument to bed for me, If your chasing swallows buy a D4 or a 1DX.

Need to find some good shots of Aircraft now as that's what lights my candle, realy need to find out soonish if the K3 can do that and I'll be in Xanadu with the thing.

A little more but just attention to detail, would be my answer.

I think there is a little less headroom in the files for pulling them around in Post Processing, not having the K5IIs anymore means I cannot do the direct comparisons I wanted to but I may just get another after Christmas. Less DR? It's been measured but if there is any less it's not by much, more than made up for by that meter, which just makes exposure far more accurate, which again means Less PP. Focusing is pretty much a breeze but now you have a bit more to remember IE: Focus hold and the various groupings in AF/AFC. Not complex, like say a Nikon D800 but you have to bear it in mind, Tip, use the three user slots on the command dial, which I haven't yet but definitley will.

Handholding, sujective, there is a lot of talk about more pixels requiring better technique, keep the SR on, thats been tweaked accordingly so I'm not really finding that aspect any more demanding either...

Trying to hunt down some Autumnal Colour...
All around Nab Ghyll, Castle Head, White Moss Woods and Rydal...
All with the K3 and either the Siggy 8-16 or the Pentax 16-50...

Hey Northgrain, you got Mail!

Bob on!
Belting pics...

Throw away those long lenses Mike! (In my direction) and become a landscaper...

Nice shot!

A quote: "With a 23.35 million-pixel sensor and no anti-aliasing filter the Pentax K-3 produces fantastically detailed images, and it doesn't disappoint. The camera comes close to out resolving our lens chart, at a resolution of 38lp/pm, almost matching the Nikon D800/E , which did out-resolve our chart. There is some slight artefacting that looks like it has been the result of moiré patterning, that stops the K-3 producing a perfect result."
