Samsung NX-1 Seems to be throwing a spanner in the works, there may be hope yet for APSC?

There maybe something else going on here but I can't for the life of me see it being over a stop better in high ISO than the K3, as stated in the CSTV vid, the sensor on the K3 is very efficient, some 50-60%, I have read recently, not even if Samsungs BSI sensor made that 100% would it only equate to about a stop, the review I posted in the K-S1 thread, the user reckons he preefers the output of that camera to the K3, things move on in a year, it's hard to keep up, if Samsung make a move sony will follow, whatever comes after the K3 will be better no doubt, whatever they decide to bung under it's bonnet, not too soon though Ricoh eh, I'm always skint! I'd be very interested in what a K60 might be able to do though, we're due a more video oriented Mid range DSLR sooner than a new K3 I think, and the 12 bit sensor in the K-S1 could be interesting from that point of view. The review sites want better video and Ricoh will have to provide it if only to stop them having yet another reason to diss the brand at every opportunity
P.S. Never shot a video, not even once, never entered my head to do so but apparantly I am in the minority...

Well worth a read!

Go with a Bright coloured K50!

Pentax/Ricoh don't make Amazon much money, Can-not, Nik-Off, and Phony do.
(Cynical hat on this A.M.)

Well if the K3 sucks the 7D MkII blows!
Really wish I'd kept my K3 but I'm over the moon is eventually saw sense and was able to get it back!

I liked the colours off the K7 better than the K5, just had something about them and I see them going really cheaply these days...
