It feels more like the *istD vs. *istDS where the 'lesser' model somewhat improves on the 'higher' model. I did not get to try the ISO12.8k (out of sight out of mind...the camera was defaulted to 6400 when I was scrolling through the ISO range...I had the 'aw shucks' moment after...) but I would tend to agree with the K-x' sensor being better than the K-7s' although I could not quantify that at the moment. Not exactly for pixel peepers but here is the same scene taken by my son with a K-7 and myself with the K-x: K-7 > http://www.flickr.com/photos/khalil710/3972119810/ K-x > http://www.flickr.com/photos/bongmanayon/3970880330/ -- Bong Manayon http://www.bong.uni.cc -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
