Talking about the K20D, and in order of relevance: - Size, weight...it makes me lazy to take it with me - High ISO, i would like to be able to shoot 6400 without hesitation, as K-5 owners say they do. - AF in low light, moving subjects,... I have missed many pictures because of this - Articulated/tilting LCD is good - Be able to record videos with continuous AF, if I have to focus manually and such things, not for me.
Regarding my Sony NEX-3 - Pictures look softer: I don't know if the 18-55 kit zoom (not good reputation) is the one to blame, or the shooting position, more unstable than in a DSLR,... - No viewfinder !!! For me it is harder to compose pictures in a LCD. Not sure about electronic viewfinders, never tried it long enough. - Better ISO Regards, Jaume ----- Mensaje original ----- > De: Larry Colen <[email protected]> > Para: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <[email protected]> > CC: > Enviado: Lunes 15 de abril de 2013 10:12 > Asunto: What are the shortcomings of your gear? > > What photos are you losing because your gear isn't performing well enough, > or because it doesn't have a feature that you need?
