Stealth shooting should be possible with a Pentax KP, using live view on the tilting rear screen, the almost silent 20-40 Ltd, and the electronic shutter. That setup would not be much bigger than a comparable Fuji APS-C mirrorless kitWe recently had a family get together.

As this image shows, infrared is great for enhancing this type of cloudy sky. (The image for me would be the three-quarters on the right-hand side.)

Looks like a late evening sky captured on a dusty sensor at f/22 and low speed! And/or perhaps ICM?

A good series; I like the processing of the interior shots, and I particularly enjoy those with a view through a window.

Can't things just be different? Like film and digital? Why do we have to put one over the other, then try and convince other people our preference is "right" or more valid?
Genuine question, not aimed at anybody in particular
My history in brief is that, a few years ago, I wanted a camera with a moveable screen, so I got the Sony A6000 which I used for about a year alongside my Pentax stuff. Although it is a very good mirrorless camera, I never really enjoyed using it. Fortunately the K-70 arrived on the scene, with its articulated screen. It is a real pleasure to use, so I'm happy to stay with a Pentax DSLR and looking forward to the next APS-C model.
As they say, "To each his own".
