When I bought my *istD body I only had 35mm format lenses. All of a sudden my wide angle lenses were crippled.

Indeed, for several years I was under the impression of why should I have to buy new glass just to get back to where I was with 35mm format.

I finally gave in and decided that if I have to buy new glass I might as well buy new modern lenses and also step up to very good AF, metering and flash.
So I bought a D700 with 14-24mm, 16-35mm, 24-70mm.

Do I see a difference, of course I do. Am I happy with the results and performance, yes.

Did shooting a 35mm form digital convince me that a 645Z was worth buying, yes.

Do I see a difference, of course I do. Am I happy with the results and performance, yes.

So from my point of view, systems aside, I can actually see differences in image sensor sizes. How one would measure those differences is for the individual to asses and not really worth debating about with others who don’t shoot different formats and can only quote what others tell them or they read on the web.

Great video in very general terms as all he does is compare formats and not systems or system performance.

He starts off basically implying film is dead then finishes drooling over a 10x8 film camera.

Its down to the luck of the draw. I have had only one issue with Pentax service link and ended up buying two lenses as the original was not repairable.

The main issue is the time without the kit. Unless you have backup kit available your out of action.

And I thought SLR meant in fact a camera with pentaprism and mirror system? Is it not a contradiction in terms to say ' mirrorless DSLR'?
Of course it is, but we know what is meant by it - a camera that has interchangeable lenses, a sensor at least as big asAPS-C, the same level of controls as a DSLR. In fact a Sony
I'll try Gwyn, I'll try.

Gotta love a Sony......

Image number two is as good as it gets for scene and content. First class work.

A very nice set Nigel. Number 2 works quite well as its never an easy task to get a good representation of fauna (for me anyway).

Finally finished watching all three seasons of Boardwalk Empire last night.

Now I've just remembered that I didn't take any meat out of the freezer for tea this evening (better take the back roads home and look for road kill).

"apparently the EVF on Sony cameras is awful"
Not so Gwyn, Mrs K10D is now using an Alpha 99 with my Minolta glass and is loving it. I love shooting with it, when I get the chance. If you get a chance to have a look through one, do it. It's a little strange at first but you very quickly see the benefits. It's also light for 35mm format.

Best regards
