Re: Your guess on the Pentax Full Frame specs?
That's been my point all along. I keep K-5 for backup/AF/flash photography. This is where mix match of cameras and lenses with or without adapters won't work. When my K-5 bites the dust (given that I have less than 20,000 frames on it, it may take time), I would probably buy a full frame body and use Sigma 24-60/2.8 for standard zoom. But since my K-5 is not showing any signs of decomposition (mild pun here) - I am good as I am now :-).

Re: Your guess on the Pentax Full Frame specs?
with aps you are working with smaller format, thus making the lenses more critical. true you are dealing with the sweet spot of FF lenses but not all FF lenses have noticable corner problems. On 2/6/2015 8:05 PM, Darren Addy wrote: and a lot of the people will find out that FF puts less demand on the optical quality of the lenses compared to aps for the same results, therefore better results for lenses of same quality. This is the opposite of what I have seen and read. The APS-C takes only the central portion of the optical circle of 35mm glass. It is normally in the corners where things begin to deteriorate - corners you never even record on an APS-C sensor. I believe that this is why Pentax chose to simultaneously release some great new full frame zoom glass. A full frame sensor will expose lens deficiencies (pardon the pun?). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: Your guess on the Pentax Full Frame specs?
Quoting Malcolm Smith rrve...@virginmedia.com: I've just had an e-mail in from a dealer telling me about the new Canon EOS 5DS EOS 5DS R, which both feature 50.6 MP sensors. At this rate, the DSLR will be taking on the medium format market as well. The thought of buying a new body and lenses is bad enough, but with the file sizes these cameras must provide, post processing and storage means a real think about computer hardware as well. Of course, you don't actually have to buy one :-) I'm perfectly happy with the 16MP produced from my K-5 and Oly E-M10. That's not to say I might not be tempted in a couple of years when the next generation arrives (but then there's that E-M5 II...) -- Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Your guess on the Pentax Full Frame specs?
#1 The sensor will match some Nikon model. That seems all too obvious. #2 The software will not have all the features of the competition. #3 Pentax will introduce some software gizmo to make the camera unique and desirable. Dear Pentax, Personally, I would still like to see a decent Wi-Fi solution in every camera, with appropriate login for networking. Perhaps it should be located in a grip with its own battery since not everyone needs one. The grip would also have its own CPU. Some low-power solution like a smartphone cpu. Likewise the memory cards would become a disk-sharing solution with the camera having preference. This approach would all more efficient transfer of information than do the current implementations. Hire me. I can do this. Collin - No virus found in this message.

Re: Your guess on the Pentax Full Frame specs?
My guess is that it will be around 36MP, and will have better per pixel performance than the K-5. I expect that it will have all of the cool new features that are on the K-3, K-S1 (except for gratuitous blinkenlights) etc. Other than the improved sensor, I don't expect a lot of additional features that aren't already on other Pentax cameras. I do hope that they take advantage of the greater real estate and pack in a lot more focus (and metering?) points. I predict that up until it ships there will be a wailing and moaning and gnashing of teeth over all of the pet features that it doesn't have. It will slightly outperform other DSLRs with comparable sensors, and likewise the body will be a bit smaller, and the shutter quieter, but probably not quite as quiet as the K-5 (bigger mirror and all). It will come in black and silver, and will be priced comparably with the Nikon D750 rather than the D810. Autofocus performance will be improved over the K-3, but still not as good as the best in other brands. I think that the halo effect of having a 24x36 upgrade path will encourage more people to take Pentax seriously, it will start gaining in market share, and we'll get a nice positive feedback loop as more people buy them, even more people will know that Pentax still exists.

If Pentax can accomplish what Nikon did with the Df model regarding the compatibility with their legacy lenses they might have an attractive camera.

Re: Your guess on the Pentax Full Frame specs?
and a lot of the people will find out that FF puts less demand on the optical quality of the lenses compared to aps for the same results, therefore better results for lenses of same quality. This is the opposite of what I have seen and read. The APS-C takes only the central portion of the optical circle of 35mm glass. It is normally in the corners where things begin to deteriorate - corners you never even record on an APS-C sensor. I believe that this is why Pentax chose to simultaneously release some great new full frame zoom glass. A full frame sensor will expose lens deficiencies (pardon the pun?). -- Life is too short to put up with bad bokeh. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

I'm not an expert on Canon, but if they are going to 46MP it will be a Sony sensor in the camera (not a Canon sensor). I think Canon has been stuck realizing that they were at the end of the line as far as competing successfully with their own sensors. So it is probably where a Pentax FF will be going eventually.

Re: Your guess on the Pentax Full Frame specs?
Canon makes their own sensors, and I have no doubt that they are capable of building a 46mp sensor, so I wouldn't bet the farm it isn't home grown, also just packing 46mp in 2/3 the real estate of the most common medium format sensor will lead to degraded performance.

Curious to see if it is compatible with the O-GPS1. ISO range: (Extended: 80-51,200) I've just had an e-mail in from a dealer telling me about the new Canon EOS 5DS EOS 5DS R, which both feature 50.6 MP sensors. At this rate, the DSLR will be taking on the medium format market as well. The thought of buying a new body and lenses is bad enough, but with the file sizes these cameras must provide, post processing and storage means a real think about computer hardware as well.

Agree. Guessing other specs is useless game.

I'm thinking the long-suffering Pentaxians are going to exhaust themselves with all the flapping long before this camera ever gets here. Pace yourselves, people. Y'all are gonna be too pooped to pop. ;) -c Ps: just black?

Since the 645Z is compatible with the O-GPS1 for geotagging, I would expect the same to be true of the FF camera. As far as Astrotracer functionality, I would hope and expect that as long as the camera has shake reduction, the Astrotracer will work. I don't think we know that for sure yet, but people have pointed out that the body appears to have a placeholder for the SR logo, and the new telephoto lenses don't have built-in stabilization, so I think it's likely that the body still will. (I guess it's possible that the FF could have translational but not rotational SR, like e.g. the K10D. That wouldn't support Astrotracer.) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
