The K-70 will be the first non flagship with a fill 14-bit readout. I don't think there is an imaging sensor capable of a full 16-bits. The medium format cameras advertise 16-bit color, but in reality its a bit less than that and much closer to the 14-bit the 645Z is using. Also the K100D already

If the relationship between the K-70 and the K-3[II] is like that between the K-5[II[s]], then apart from the top LCD second SD card slot, and a few buttons, the K-70 will have a few "improvements" in movie mode over the K-3, improved more modern looking menus, (more like the K-1, I'd expect),

A simple mirrorless without ibis makes for an easier conversion. Something to consider. Get a Sony nex with adapter and look at it as an ir back. That's what I would do since the optical viewfinder becomes useless with full spectrum. On Jun 10, 2016 6:40 PM, "Larry Colen" wrote: > Back when I ha
