I hope that new sensor + camera's soft + processor will be MUCH BETTER than in K10D.
Hi Ogl,
Nice to see you here!
Knowing your "love" of the Sony sensor family, I can clearly see how you could welcome Pentax, finally going with its own sensor design.
I also think it's an excellent move and the only way to be in control of what matters most: Image Quality.
Let's hope their first try will be a hit!
I sincerely think that Pentax did what they could with the K10's Sony sensor and that they did a pretty good job (sharpness and color rendition are great), at leats until noise kicks in above ISO 800. Beyond ISO 800, well, if you compare to the best out there (Canon 40D IMO), they are one good stop behind.
I often think my Ds was a ISO 200-1600 camera while my K10 is a ISO 100-1000. I gained ISO 100 but lost ISO 1600....
Let's hope we will regain higher sensitivities with the KxxD!
