The sensor is not capable of LV or video. Which is a distinct loss in the case of Live View (which is a superb innovation as it turns your DSLR into a miniature view camera, complete with a built-in magnifier. Absolutely awesome when working on a tripod). Personally I could care less about video. Ditto for in-camera processing and its multiple variations. -Adam -- 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.
