Very interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing how it rates on DxOmark. It looks like it has the potential to seriously outperform the K-5 in low light. It's also a lot more affordable than the D800, and with fewer, larger, pixels, it has the potential for performing very well in low light. It says: Flash Sync SpeedUp to 1/200 sec. Synchronizes with shutter at 1/250s or slower Why do they list two different speeds for flash synchronization? It only brackets up to two frames. Under sensitivity it says: ISO SensitivityISO 100 - 6400 Lo-1 (ISO 50) Hi-1 (ISO 12,800) Hi-2 (ISO 25,600) What do they mean by "expanded ISO sensitivity"? Do they just multiply the data by two rather than adjusting the analog gain in the circuits? Related question, how does the K-5 handle its extended ISO range? Is it in analog circuitry or just in math? I could be very tempted by this camera. -- 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.
