Not quite according to DxO Mark: http://tinyurl.com/49ac7h5 The K-5 has 1.5 extra stops of dynamic range. The 645D does have a 1 stop advantage in S/N at each ISO, but given their respective surface areas this advantage should be 2 stops, which goes to show what a great sensor Sony made, or what a crappy sensor Kodak made (only as far as high ISOs are concerned, I'm not saying anything else). My response to Tim would be: Aside from that, no reason except bragging rights or being Mark. —M. \/\/o/\/\ --> http://WorldOfMiserere.com http://EnticingTheLight.com A Quest for Photographic Enlightenment -- 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.
