I've sold some ISO 800 *istD images as stock. What's more, new faster
glass can make up an f stop just like that. I shoot low light when I
must. I don't know if I seriously shoot anything. I always try to have
fun.

It allows high resolution and low noise compared to a similar APS-C
sized sensor. Noise levels are directly related to the size of a
sensor site, and the larger the sensor the larger the sites for a
given resolution. If you seriously shoot low-light, the 5D is pretty
much entry-level for high-resolution digital.

Rob,
Just what is the attraction of a 35mm-sized sensor on digital?
It's much more expensive, both for the body and the lenses (note how
much cheaper the DA macro lenses, for instance, are than the FA
lenses). There are now good wide-angle options.
All the evidence suggests, and has for some time, that Pentax will
not in the near future, and probably never, produce a 24x36mm sensor
in the K mount. If 24x36 is what your heart is set on, buy a Canon.
And for those who say that the market has abandoned the Pentax 645,
how did they ever manage to sell the first 645? There are still
huge quantities of 645 lenses out there, and I for one will bet that
as long as the price and performance are OK, the 645D will be
snapped up.

What amused me ever so slightly was that a new D specific 645 lens
was on the
roadmap. Do they think that the existing glass won't be up to the
task, so much
for their main selling point, remind you of anything? The fact that
they are
intent on delivering a 645D and swinging as far from FF 35mm as
possible still
has my head spinning.
