Probably splitting hairs, but the truly raw output from the sensor has to be processed somewhat to decipher the information and present it as a demosaiced colour image. There is, so to speak, a bare minimum that has to be done regardless.

Not splitting hairs at all John. All RAW images are a function of the manufacturers individual process. If not, there would be no difference to a RAW file from any SONY sensor used in different brands.Probably splitting hairs, but the truly raw output from the sensor has to be processed somewhat to decipher the information and present it as a demosaiced colour image.

One fundamental thing changed when DSLR's arrived, you now buy a "film" type body (you may like the std colour of Pentax or Nikon or Canon or SONY etc) rather than have the ability to use different types/makes of film in the same body for true RAW.
Fortunately, Pentax IQ out of the camera is amongst, if not the best out there.

For some, it's a comfort factor.
If your one of those owners that like to keep their kit pristine and blemish free to keep up the resale value then use a protector.

Wonderful set Don. Forget the gumboots, get her a rod and reel, just look at that river or is it a lake?

Saturday seems the better day. Either way, it’s better to be there than at home looking out through the window.

I did a comparison of ISO between these 3 and the K10D was actually better than the K7 at 1600 astonishingly, however the K7 has nicer quality grain.
I now have the K5 and it totally out-performs all of them, albeit with less 'pop' from the raw files. They always need beefing up, unless I use the JPEG. The K10D always produced beautiful images in good light.
If I had the K5 for that wedding, I would have had far more 'keepers' indoors. (make-up, children, atmospheric preparation shots etc.)
Thanks for that.Quote:
Only out of interest, on what is your statement based on?
I started with the K10D, then bought a K-x which has almost magical high ISO performance in comparison. Then I bought a K7 for a wedding. All the indoor shots with the K7 were disappointing, I used the K-x for anything difficult. The K10 was with me but was set up with an old Metz and didn't get a look-in.Only out of interest, on what is your statement based on?

Great images Simon. Takes me back to when it all started with the circuit construction etc. I covered two F1 events whilst based in Bahrain. How things have changed although it never was quiet, the media just ignored it.

Your having a laugh Alan. Come on, admit it, it's stuffed and you've used a canvas background.

£699 for a camera body that is forced up (like many of the lenses) in price to £799 and then to have a partial restoration with a £50 voucher claim nonsense.
Doesn't seem like Pentax UK have quite got what it is to build loyalty does it?
