I'm coming from that I still use an istD, so my wants would probably be satisfied with a K5 or later! For my very lively grandchildren faster frame-rate and AF would be good. More pixels would be nice if I do have to crop severely, but I've not really noticed 6mp being a huge limitation for me. Clean images at higher ISO ratings could be useful.
For my MZ-S, I'd like a really wide angle lens with FF coverage - shorter than 16mm ideally. I don't think the 16-45 covers the frame, but I should try it. That's about it for my style of subject...

What photos are you losing because your gear isn't performing well enough, or because it doesn't have a feature that you need? And in what situations does this present itself? If there is a work around, what do you need to do to get the shot? Poor autofocus? Can't use the flash in the rain? Don't have enough resolution to make wall sized prints? For example, "my camera sucks because it isn't full frame" is not what I'm looking for. Here's a hypothetical case: The exposure metering sucks. If I leave the camera on auto exposure, then when I am taking photos of Dave Brooks working the corner of Heart Attack and Vine downtown, the camera keeps metering for the stop light, and both David, and his pimp Doug come out way underexposed. If I dial in exposure compensation, then when I shoot without the light in the background it overexposes and his white satin pants are totally blown out. I just have to put the camera in manual, set the exposure by the histogram, and hope that no cars catch them in their headlights. -- 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. -- 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.
