Originally posted by Pål Jensen I have a problem with equallig sensor size with value.
I don't.
The image quality is a matter of perception, and many can perceive a fairly considerable quality step up from the compact camera to APS-C DSLR, from APS-C DSLR to FF camera, from FF do MF. When we say "a sensor", we also mean, yet not pronounce — the optics — that is suitably designed to exploit the capabilities of the sensor. Frankly, when I see the output of the 645D, and compare it to the output from K5II, K5II fades away.
My point is, yes we need FF and MF cameras, and they do represent a considerable value no other sensor size and optics combination can approach to. Without them, and touting aloud the m4/3 or APS-C is
all we need, we also say we
can live on bread, water and butter. Well yes, we can, but it's not living — it's surviving and a waste of life.

Well, so far Pentax does not even have an answer for the D7100 and 70D, and we expect them to come to the party exclusively appointed for the best of the best in APS-C, D-400 and 7DII? Gosh, how foolish and full of themselves Pentaxians are — they have two ponies, and believe they can challenge a stable full of thoroughbreds ...
