The D810 has a pretty nice sensor, if Pentax do as they often do and can wring a bit more out of it than the other makers it should be a nice camera, sensitivity, noise and DR wise. On 6 February 2015 at 23:21, John sesso...@earthlink.net wrote: On 2/6/2015 4:02 AM, Malcolm Smith wrote:

Well if that's the K-50 replacement, and I think it is, it looks like the K-s1 UI experiment has gone nowhere though the styling ques remain. Especially annoying is paying extra for an unnecessary illuminated on off switch. Maybe they had to move the buttons around to allow for the flippy

I'm not an expert on Canon, but if they are going to 46MP it will be a Sony sensor in the camera (not a Canon sensor). I think Canon has been stuck realizing that they were at the end of the line as far as competing successfully with their own sensors. So it is probably where a Pentax FF will be

Canon makes their own sensors, and I have no doubt that they are capable of building a 46mp sensor, so I wouldn't bet the farm it isn't home grown, also just packing 46mp in 2/3 the real estate of the most common medium format sensor will lead to degraded performance. Physics is a bitch and
