Another ISO 12800 sample from D7000, good news for K-5?

Asahiflex, is that a 100% crop from the K-r? If so, I would say it trounces the D7000!

No, that's whole picture.

Well, not really compatible then. I can't wait to see the comparisons on DPReview between the K-5, D-7000 and new Sony DSLRs. Official specs on the K-5 will be a partial relief next week, but then I will be waiting still for the comparison shots

Well, to us K200D users, even if that would be 6400 ISO, and not 12800, I am extremely impressed. That looks better than my ISO 800 looks

One often overlooked attribute in this whole D7000 vs K-5 shenanigan is where Pentax could very well end-up with a better IQ and faster FPS system than Nikon. Which would not put them in a positive position in the market, but also as a leading competitor insofar as performance goes.

Either way, there's only a few more days to go before the BIG moment. It's definitely going to be an exciting time for the Pentaxians come Monday

I agree with you, word by word.

And your street/night/concert and wedding photographer. I am watching closely since I have used 3200 regularly at weddings etc, even with my canon 20d (which was a bit scary)

Nice picture from the Nikon D7000, but the "full size" is only 2.6Mpxls (2000X1325). So the 100% crop is not a real 100 crop.

Same with my K10D at 800...even 400 in many cases!

I sure hope this is a high and low ISO performer!!!

I thought the K-5 wasn't going to be announced till the 22nd?

The K10D's iso 1600 can do this and the K-7's iso 6400 is only marginally worse than this. I think the K-x's iso 12800 is much better than the sample posted.
