Can I say "an appetizing photo"?

Lovely creatures, nice scene, beatiful image.

[P. J. Alling]

It's a $350 travel tripod,  $700 if you want carbon fiber. That's more 
than twice as expensive as an equivalent Manfrotto BeFree and the carbon 
fiber BeFree is on sale for $150 less than the Aluminum model.  I never 
thought that Manfrotto products were inexpensive before.

Re: article in PetaPixel

[Brian W]

I've also got the original Q & the K-01. The Q is my take-anywhere camera,
simply because I can fit the body, 2 zooms and a couple of spare batteries into
a ridiculously small pouch. The K-01 produces fine images but both it and the Q
are virtually unusable in sunlight. Neither can come close to my two Olympus
OMDs. My K-5 rarely gets a workout these days and I know for sure that I'll
never buy another DSLR.

I have got the original 'Pentax Q', a mirrorless with a tiny sensor, which 
works quite 
well when there is enought light. (I have one prime and 2 zooms with that)

That is the big disadvantage on the simpler mirrorless cameras,
like the K-01 and the 'Q'.

However, on a more upscale model like a Panasonic D9 or the Sony A7
the EVF makes up for most of that.

I still prefer an OVF in most cases, but there certainly are situations
in which the EFV actually performs and works better!

Re: article in PetaPixel

[Daniel J. Matyola]

I have two mirrorless digital cameras, both Pentax.  I use the WG-3 GPS for
the beach, snorkeling and canoeing.  I use the K-01 for street photography,
indoor events, and anywhere I want to keep my camera and lens compact.

I find it much harder to compose with a mirrorless than with a DSLR.  ( I
mostly use my K-5 IIs).  I would imagine this to apply even more so to
photographers who are more serious and artistic in their work than an
"enthusiast" like me.

Re: article in PetaPixel

Heh.

Notice that the Ricoh person comments on switching back after a couple 
of years of *personal time* with mirrorless, while this magically 
disappears from the headline. In this age and day, that means readers 
are stuck in a rut when reading the finer print.


Still enjoy my Q7 tho.

Some strong opinions indeed.

I know for sure I am going to enjoy the optical viewfinder and very good IQ 
from my K1 for a long time.

That said, I have been seriously looking at the Panasonic G9 (micro-4/3) and a 
few
of the Panasonic/Leica lenses for that, specifiacally the 100-400mm.
(which is an 800mm equivalent on micro-4/3)

For action, birding, but also video and focus-stacking it would be far superior 
to the K1,
although the IQ is a bit less due to the smaller sensor (less DR, more noise).

But hey, who said we need to choose one over the other, when we can have both :)
