4. Slightly different layout of the controls / buttons, but totally
intuitive. Haven't looked at the manual yet, though I'm probably missing
stuff if I don't. The biggest challenge was disabling auto ISO, which
took about 20 seconds to decipher.
I'm glad it wasn't just me. The menu and controls seem much more
ergonomic than the K5.
I realize that I have to delve into the manual to figure out that
artificial low pass thingy... But one can pick up this camera and use it
without a glance at the manual...
8. Two 32 gig cards (I was lucky and got the "free card" deal from B&W)
show up with a nominal storage count of ~1200 DNG files. Given how
conservative Pentax is with their storage estimates I expect actual file
storage to be much higher.
The files are pretty big. The few DNGs I've shot have ranged from
29-40 MB. I don't know why the huge bloat, the bigger files are the
high ISO ones.
I noticed that ACR and Photoshop is not as snappy chewing through these
files compared to the K-5. Still faster than 6x7 scans though....
I won't get a chance to really run it through its paces till this
weekend, but I'm excited. Looks like an excellent upgrade over the K-5,
which is no slouch of a camera...
I'm a little floored by how much of an upgrade it appears to be over
the K5.
Agreed!
