Karin would like to see Chris happy, and Chris wants nothing more than to

would please Karin. 

There are no losers when you buy Leica, just warm fuzzy feelings all round. And

Re: My Spidey senses are tingling

Just an off tangent thought, but when I was in the Army, "KP" meant
"Kitchen Police" [in this context "police" means "clean up"] ...

So maybe "KP" means it's a camera for hipster foodies to instagram with?

First this ...

I anticipate he KP will probably be a top-of-the-line hobbyist camera. Still
good, but maybe not up to the ruggedness of the 5/3/1 series.  Could be Full
Frame. Because they need a full-frame basic-featured body. Because people
just want to take pictures. Maybe $999.

Then {
This

That will leave room for a new K3 III. Anticipating a new body design that
will improve on circuit size, allowing both GPS & popup flash.  But probably
nothing significant otherwise. A tech step, not a tech leap.

Or

A K2 that makes 24Mp FF practical and inexpensive. That would fill in a
market gap quite nicely. Perhaps $1199.

Ok, the tingling has stopped. Bye for now.

Re: OT - DSLR cameras for video at a formal event...

[John]

A couple of years back the Chicago Tribune fired all their photographers
& told their reporters to use their iPhones to get photographs to go
along with news articles, so if he was using an actual DSLR, I'm
guessing he was NOT the press.

On 1/20/2017 9:49 PM, Igor PDML-StR wrote:


Yes, Paul, I had seen those before.
A typical setup that I had seen (and it makes sense): a "steady" frame,
a mic, and a monitor.

In this case, it was just a bare DSLR, no monitors/mics/.

Cotty: yep, that makes sense, and that's what I was guessing.
But it still looked a bit funny to me... "Big suits" running around with
DSLRs... :)

It's interesting what was the point...

Actually, I kust saw that guy again... I suspect he was not a

It's rather interesting and a bit strange to see that..


Might be govt staff or might be press. Not unusual out on the road these
days to see stills guys doing a bit of video for the agency/newspaper
website as required.

It's quite a historic occasion (no matter which part of the political
spectrum one sides with) and a bit of video after samey stills shots
will get plaudits from the boss.

Re: What can be gathered about the new KP.

[Zos Xavius]

The K-3 is already pretty small to be honest. Its very close in size
to the KS-2 which was only a hair bigger than the Canon SL1 which
still holds the crown of smallest aps-c DSLR. Due to the sensor/board
construction I don't know how they could make it all that much thinner
to be honest. When you consider there is a sensor, an SR mechanism, a
circuit board directly behind, and then the LCD which also has a
protective layer over it. If I take my K-3 and set it next to my MZ-s
and line up the mounts the K-3 is about a half inch thicker than the
MZ-S. So the sensor and all the related stuff plus the rear screen is
fitting in a space 1/2 inch thick. I think the two bodies are pretty
close in size compared in my hand. The mz-s is actually a little
wider, but not nearly as tall as the K-3 because the k-3 has a huge
pentaprism. I use a grip with the k-3 though so that makes it feel a
lot larger and heavier. I would love to find a grip for my mz-s though
it does feel rather nice and small in the hand by itself with a prime.

The MX I have is about the smallest K-mount camera I own (the ME might
be about the same) but it also packs a lot less into the camera
compared to say an MZ-S.

Re: What can be gathered about the new KP.

[Zos Xavius]

The K-3 II sold fairly well and is now discontinued unofficially. This
will be a direct replacement. I wouldn't expect any major differences
from the K-3 II other than an updated AF block (from the K-1, which is
ironically physically the same as the K-3 II apparently), the K-70's
sensor and hopefully somewhat improved video. If they use the same
imaging processor as the K-70 then probably not, but I would
hope/imagine that the new flagship aps-c would have a new Prime
engine. I would imagine the body design will largely stay the same as
the K-3. It does have a new body though, I can at least confirm that
much.

Re: 2017 Photo Annual Update

[Chris Mitchell]

My Pentax outings for this last year have been B film in the MX.  Of
course, the issue is that 1) I need to get off my backside to develop
said film and 2) It then has to be scanned. I've now done 1) and am
scanning like mad. Hopefully will have something to submit within a
few days.

Re: GESO: 2016 -- The Year in Review

[ann sanfedele]

I agree with Mark about Blue and Beige (and I see you took my suggestion 
about getting rid of the wisp of plant) ..


I enjoyed the whole set as a travelogue, and although it is certainly a 
cliche and normally not what I would select, if I were
doing a pick from that set the other one I'd chose is that Maui 
sunrise.. .  I liked your staircase series - but I think you have 
another one
from that group that I liked a bit better than the one in this set.. but 
I can't remember...

In reviewing my images from last year for the PDML Annual, I put together
this gallery of images that represent where I went, what I did, and what

that concept, as I am still just an enthusiast rather than an artist, but
those that bring back good memories and remind me of why I carry that

What can be gathered about the new KP.

[P. J. Alling]

It's described as a DSLR, so it's probably not mirrorless.

It's probably not Full Frame.  The K-1 is less than a year old, and the 
current APS-C flagship the K-3[II] was introduced in 2014, and refreshed 
in 2015.  In DSLR product cycles it's Methuselah.


So it's most likely a new Flagship APS-C DSLR.

What I'd like to see is a slimmer camera.  Leica has just released the 
M10 which packs it's electronics into a package about the same size as 
an M-7, (as an aside, notice how after dropping model numbers and having 
their user base and the commentariat supply them with unofficial ones, 
Leica brought them back).


What I'm hoping is that RIcoh has decided to use the same improvements 
in technology to build an APS-C DSLR in roughly the same footprint of an 
LX.  If they do that and manage to keep the same specifications as the 
K-3 half the arguments for a mirrorless camera lose a lot of their 
weight, (see what i did there, I'm so clever),  which speaking of the 
size and weight advantages of mirrorless has anyone actually compared a 
K-3II to a Panasonic GH5?   The only specification that some might take 
as an advantage is the GH5's weight,


http://camerasize.com/compare/#698,619

Finally I'd like to see a little less convergence.  It's nice to have a 
DSLR that can be used to make videos, however Pentax cameras have been 
going backwards in actually producing good video while larding up the UI 
with easy video access.   Why not do the opposite, give us the option to 
use SR sensor shift on videos, and put up with the noise on the built in 
microphone, (anybody serious is going to use an external mic anyway),  
and do away with that silly red video record button and replace it with 
something useful, like say a joystick to pick AF sensors just like a lot 
of other serious still cameras have done,  plus actually offer an 
official replaceable VF screen that's actually good for manual focus?


Then again Ricoh may just decide that no one's interested in a flagship 
APS-C camera anymore and just build entry/mid level APS-C bodies based 
on the convergence of the K-50 and K-S2 from now on. Personally I 
wouldn't be surprised, though it would sadden me.
