It depends on the sort of shooting you do, and how many of the features the K7 has the K-01 doesn't. If I only had one camera I'd much rather have a K-5 than K-01. If you do most of your photography in good light, you probably wouldn't get a lot of IQ improvement going to the K-01 sensor. If you do hand held, low shutter speeds, you'll probably lose sharpness do to the shooting position. If I were buying a camera this week in that price range, I'd probably look for a K-r rather than K-01. Also, Pentax seems to have a bit of difficulty with dot zero syndrome, where there's usually a problem or two with the first releases of new technology. In short, even if I were to buy a K-01 I'd wait a bit and let other people be the guinea pigs, and maybe let the price drop a few bucks. > > -- > Steve Desjardins > > -- > 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. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- 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.
