Re: K-1 Sensor

I'm still hoping they'll use the A7rII's 42mp sensor, but my guess is it will be the one from the A7r. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised. On 1/17/2016 9:36 PM, Darren Addy wrote: All good points, P.J. Odds are good that you are right and my conjecture is all wet. On Sun, Jan 17, 2016 at 8:27

RE: K-1 Sensor

My concerns are about everything short of the FF body. From time to time, I get to use a Nikon D800 (which I love but isn't relevant). To use a FF cameras a lot of the time, would mean I would have to check my SDHC/CF cards were of a suitable size and speed, lenses would have to be top notch to

Re: K-1 Sensor

Thanks Larry and John. Let's hope for 36 and not 24. I have a number of FF lenses including FA 100/2.8 Mac, FA 28-200, Takumar 300/4, 40/2.8 MF, and several MF 50's. I'm just not a frequent upgrader. If it was a 24MP sensor that could be some low-light competition for the D5, maybe? Kim

Re: K-1 Sensor

I continue to believe that it will be the 42MP Sony sensor used in the Sony Sony a7R II and recently Cyber-shot RX1R II. A 36MP sensor would be a significant upgrade from the current 24.3MP APS-C line, of course, but that 36MP sensor has been around so long that I feel Pentax would be opening

Re: K-1 Sensor

I can't imagine why they would go with a 42mp sensor. Extreme high resolution mp sensors are for companies that don't have a medium format solution on the shelf. What you want to do is educate the user base on why they should want to aspire to having a medium format system, and make the

They already tried explaining the reasoning behind pursuing an APS-C only product line, and see where that got them. On Sun, Jan 17, 2016 at 8:56 PM, P.J. Alling wrote: > I can't imagine why they would go with a 42mp sensor. Extreme high > resolution mp sensors are

Re: K-1 Sensor

Oh, yes, the Nikon D5 which really has me salivating when I look at it, (not that it's in my budget), has a 20.1 mp sensor. I'm pretty sure that Nikon is aiming it as a high end wedding, sports, general news, etc. camera. Nikon has been doing pretty good lately, and they have a very good

Re: K-1 Sensor

But we all knew that was less than smart. Though Fuji seems to be doing a pretty good job with their APS-C only system. (Though Fuji fanboys also seem to have FF vs APS-C flame wars. Which is pretty funny considering that for Fuji APS-C is full frame)*. *I've also seen full frame vs M43
