About the SR efficiency: it would require a lab test which are time consuming because of various focal length/exposure time combinations to be studied. But if you read my Understanding Image Sharpness white paper, you know everything to find out yourself
The HDR alignment seems to work very well. I did a test and can't see any induced blur. I'll write a bit about it in a forthcoming K-5 blog article. It now has 4 rather than 2 magnitudes and an additional auto magnitude. Still doesn't support RAW though.
Thanks, especially for HDR update, that sounds good for entry-level users (a pitty on the no RAW support though - but for the experts there are of course workarounds...).
I will for sure search for your "Understanding Image Sharpness" white paper, but price / compactness will probably influence my decision most either way.
- In the future Pentax might even consider to utilize both in-camera and in-lens at the same time (but that will require more lens to body communication).
Let me try a couple of other questions (at this moment personally not very interested in 3D, u43 EVF, nor Fuij OVF solution with parallax either way):
- Is K-r intended to replace K-x, will the K-x stay, slowly simple run out of production or shall we soon see a replacement of the K-x (that is more compact than K-r, so probably high resolution 2.7" LCD instead of 3" (preferably of course with focus assist beam))?
- Besides working on high ISO performance, is Pentax also working on ISO below 100 (including increased effective dynamic range within one shot)?
- Wait, probably you over looked my 35 mm F2.4 question, are they going to position that as a price attractive kit lens icw K-r body only? Or also K-5 / K-x? Or just as seperately lens (this last one seems to be the case currently...)?
And again thanks for all the answers to so many of our questions, thanks!!!
