well if that's true performance than that is one incredible great look for 6400!

starscream · 09-23-2010, 01:56 PM

Great ! K-5 will be a winner .

aleonx3 · 09-23-2010, 01:59 PM

Well, I am impresssed, better start saving for the K-5.

Starscream:

Where are those photos from?

Incidentally, I am again truly amazed with the rendering at such high ISO.
This is becoming more and more appealing this K5.

Thanks for sharing.

The white balance looks a lot better, too, and it was already much improved over previous cameras on the K-7.

I want to swear in appreciation....

Not even final firmware yet...
Tick Tock, Tick Tock, when is the release date again?

well I never said it outloud, but K-7 shadow darkness, was something that made me sell it and buy k-x. even in raw with same setting shadows were always darker than from other cameras. And increasing them in PP made bad noise look even worse.

now, with K-5 we see a different story.. I like the image that it produces.

even WB is improved isn't it?

Japan?
Sorry, I don't really know how to differentiate Asian characters.
I was trying to figure out who took it ... a pro? a visitor to Pentax facilities? a Pentax employee?
Just curious about the origin of the pic.

The characters are Korean. Wouldn't be surprised if it's from the same guy who has the youtube videos of the AF/continuous shooting speed.

Used in the 0.2 preview version of the K-5 image was tested for a while. (Bright Mode, NR one, AWB, 40 Limit / F2.8 A mode). This guy is the firmware 0.2 and the initial development sample period, ISO up to ISO 25600 only if the extension practiced by setting s (Spec: ISO 51200). In addition, some of the menu screen printing the wrong place and the body has not been completed. Photo key can literally badira itjyong Cali .. Quality will continue to be sensitive during tuning.

But compared with K-7, um, something very different image. According to the ISO 6400 image K-5 body not so as not applying the NR to detail. (Test body can do about the high intensity application practiced by NR's). Quite sensitive, as well as color balance, image quality and noise also think there might be better. In particular, the green noise patterns and coarse jageuljageulhan's gone is gone.

You certainly do a lot better quality than ... The number of pixels has grown and appears to be no need to worry about. I think quite a lot apparently felt any different ... +_+

it looks really clean for an iso 6400 image. shadows seem better too. need to see how iso 80 and so called iso 51,200 looks like.
