This doesn't say a darned thing about any K-01. I know. That's what I found interesting. K-01 is to be announced Thursday. DSLR(s) are the topic of this interview and its pointing to CP+. IF this is what Pentax does, it's a pretty brilliant PR move. Announce something new a week ahead of CP+

Looks like a great solution and the image is sharp with great detail. It does look a little dark on my screen but I pulled it into Photoshop and adjusted the shadows (shadows / highlights tool) and all that detail inside pops out nicely. Good solution! On 1/31/2012 8:54 AM, Collin

Mark, I can't do a K-5 photo at full resolution 100% JPEG quality and fit the maximum file size for submitting to the annual. That means I need to either make it smaller in pixels, or compress it more in JPEG quality. I could do full resolution at about 80% quality or about 3200x2800 at 100%

What Mark said. Excellent image, but the shadows are too dense as presented. A levels adjustment or a shadow/highlight tool correction, as Mark suggested, is your best bet here. I think more exposure would make that white light up too much. Paul On Jan 31, 2012, at 7:21 PM, Mark C wrote:
