Originally posted by Christine Tham I think you are violently agreeing with me, because I am also saying that outside the domain of torture tests, I can't think of a good example of a low DOF low light photo.
As for my photos, you can clearly see it's not "defect free" K-5 - if it was, it would be focusing perfectly down to EV1 or EV0.
But the slight error it makes at around EV2-2.5 is acceptable I think, and well within the parameters of what a decent camera should be able to achieve. Remember, most SLR cameras have problems focusing in low light.
Not exactly, I am not a violent person, unless violently attacked, and you sure haven't done that!
What I am saying is that if people are missing low light shots because of this problem, defect, or whatever a someone prefers to call it, then just post some decent examples from your past where you got the shots with a previous camera, any make or model, that you say you can't get with the K5...I just want to see what kind of shots they are?
Sounds easy enough to me? So if any of the devastated shooters can post them, here is your chance to show us what you are missing. Looks to me like this thread would be full of them...but so far it isn't, is it?
If my K5 (if I had one) would not shoot color shots, and I posted a thread asking for someone to show me how their previous cameras could shoot color, this thread would be 20 pages long within an hour. Agree?
I'm not saying the FF issue is not a problem, it is, but where are those shots that people are missing? Maybe it really isn't that big a problem? Just asking........I have questions, but no answers in the form of those photos I asked for.....
Best Regards
