Bong posted some shots taken with one at relatively high ISO, that looked better than many cameras at ISO 400. I believe that it'll also handily outperform the K-5 on things like color bit depth, dynamic range etc. It also brightens your teeth, freshens your breath and makes you irresistible to members of the appropriate sex. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
