It is more than 2 years since the Sheffield meet where we had a walk round Park Hill flats, so it was interesting to visit the exhibition linked below last Saturday.

I think the exhibition subjects bettered ours because there were residents in the works of Stephenson and Mayne - worth looking in.

A shame given that many feel that 16 MP is the sweet-spot for APS-C.

The irony of this post following John's on the Recent Activity page is not lost on me.

If you use the K1 in crop mode with your existing lenses. Then you get a 14Mb image. Exactly the same as you now get with your k5.
Really?
1100 Swiss Francs instead of 2200.
Half price and a time limited offer (I presume)?
Even with the limitations (for now) of using the crop area, there will be wider ISO range, GPS, WIFI and don't forget improved autofocus!
Don't forget extra weight..
And I was kidding about the improved autofocus!

I thought also that ISO makes a difference ....ie higher ISOs equal smaller files....?
No, the other way round. Higher ISO = larger file sizes.
I believe the speckles of noise are effectively like more detail and so larger file sizes.

I bet it is the superior noise performance compared with the K3 that makes you keep hold, David?
