Not sure of the lamp in No 1, a different angle or clone it out?
No 2 very very nice shot.

Looking at actual results here
link
It shows what is possible now. "Bang for buck" what would you buy?
This is not a push for Nikon. This is to show that today, we can get MF quality without selling the house, wife and Bentley.
The dynamic range is also commendable.

Really guys, we are now only going for the name tag here.
I remember some post ago of a new canon with amazing ISO performance, everyone thinks it was a FF sensor but it was an APS-H so really guys do we need FF?
Also nobody answered my question, do you think Pentax can build a DFA & DFA645 complete lens series in 2 years?
Because most of you are serious thinking they can since they will bring out the 645D for sure and that one need lenses also an "upcoming" FF camera should need new lenses so do you think they can do that?
I knew it was not FF actually. If the Oly is a name issue, that's only on my wife's part, it is of no use to me. As for the lenses, I don't honestly know. I would be happy with most of the lenses I use now, especially the 70-200 Sigma and if they do the needful, it will crop frame to work with the APS-C glass? Really guys, we are now only going for the name tag here.

As for the question, I'm not going to go through all my reasoning again (as this subject has been covered many times) but it boils down to:
No I don't want Pentax to make a "full frame" camera because I sincerely believe it would be the death-knell for them as a company and I'm rather fond of Pentax. If they did make one and it did, as I suspect, drag them under then I'd be jumping ship to Oly.

Any reduction in size is there with Olympus and I dont see too many people jumping on board with them.
Not noticed that Olympus and Panny can't make enough EP1's and GF1's quickly enough then? Any reduction in size is there with Olympus and I dont see too many people jumping on board with them.

My wife wants the white EP 1 and that has nothing to do with image quality. It just looks nice.
IF Pentax do go FF, I also hope that they will stay around. Time will tell. Minolta was here, then gone.

Why would someone want a APS-C?
Well because the camera is smaller and cheaper, that's more then enough reason for some.
I'm one of them and if I want more quality the 645D would be interesting, if the price is right.
As I said before, imo, I think that APS-C will be the starting point, FF will be semi-pro, pro level and studio work will be medium-larger format. Any reduction in size is there with Olympus and I dont see too many people jumping on board with them.Joe S wrote:
I admit I don't know much about the tech stuff, thus I never heard about pixel pitch before. But with my limited understanding it seems obvious that there is so much more room for improvements in FF while there are signs that APS-C is already getting close to peak performance. So what system performs better today is not really all important to me.
Think 5 years from know, at that time I think FF will be vastly superior. Pentax on the other hand would be struggling to keep people interested in APS-C by introducing features you either love or hate. We can lament this fact but market logic dictates that every manufacturer put a new top model to market at least every 2 years or so.
Not really though, new types of sensors are being tested so who knows. Also with technology we see everything getting smaller, digital cameras wouldn't be an exception I think.I admit I don't know much about the tech stuff, thus I never heard about pixel pitch before.

It may well be that some new developments arrive, but that would mean yet more lenses surely?
If smaller and cheaper is enough reason now, what 110 format film system would you have or did use, over 35mm? I ask that question genuinely as I do not see any benefit in smaller than APS-C sensors. As per the link, Pentax don't agree either.

When I first joined this forum, one of my first posts was on the desire for a FF Pentax. I was surprised at the number of responses rubbishing the idea and saying it was not widely wanted and would not happen.
I look forward to saying, Nah-na na na nah!..Told ya so!
You won't say "Nah-na na na nah", as you will be too busy capturing/processing more detail........I have always thought it would happen and have been steadily collecting a fine range of A series primes, for when the great day arrives.
