I would love to have the K-5 focus better in low light. I need for the autofocus area to be more precise. I lost a lot of photos because of either poor focus, or because the camera focused on something that I thought was way out of the focus selection area. But on the other hand, the number of AF points and sensors on the Nikon sort of put the 6D to shame. I also would hate that the 6D has no pop-up flash. Sure you aren't going to do serious photography with the pop-up flash, but what a paint to have to put on your big flash to do anything that couldn't be achieve with available light. I actually used my pop-up flash a couple of times this weekend for fill. And, frankly, had better luck with it than I did with the AF540. ISO is two stops better on the Canon.

I've charted my photo locations at Grandfather Mountain over the years, upgrading GPS receivers along the way: The number of channels, WAAS capability, etc. have improved with each iteration. I record my coordinates in UTM format, so it's been easy to see the big improvement in accuracy along the way (some of the measurements I made with my first unit would vary by over 100 meters the next time I visited the same spot); the time required to initially lock on to satellites and to stabilize at a specific location has been drastically reduced. Of course, this is moot if your GPS gives you the accuracy you *need*. At GFM a 10 meter discrepency can be the difference between getting a nice view or no view at all or plunging off a cliff to your death. If you just need to know that a shot was taken in Lexington, Kentucky or Portland, Maine I'd think any GPS would do ;-) -- 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.
