My daughter is shooting mostly weddings and portraits and she much prefers her
K20D over my K5 because of the skintone renderings. I have to agree that the
smoothness of the Samsung sensor is much better than what is found in the K5.
High ISO performance however, is an entirely different
It's also unlikely that a camera company will release a new level of camera
without accompanying lenses, because lenses is where the greater profit lies,
not in the camera, especially since I don't think Ricoh can put out a FF at

Given that Ricoh is now the owner perhaps we should all expect the FF
camera to be a PK/R mount.

Interesting. I guess I'm not alone in preferring the out of the box
skin tones of the k-7 vs the k-5. Sometimes for skin tones the

I grew to dislike the K-7. Hard to deal with the noise, even at ISO 400.
Tonality was never a problem for me with the K-5. I usually tweak the image to
display the pallet I want anyway. I didn't do a lot of studio shooting with the

Its not you. The K-5 misses focus. I often focus and recompoe a couple
of times to make sure I have a shot. Especially in low light. Stopping
