Originally posted by Winder I had a Garmin that would take 5 minutes to acquire satellites.
Must have been an ancient one. Even my relatively old tech Garmin eTrex 30 finds enough satellites to get a bearing in about 3 seconds, indoors or out. I hope the Pentax GPS supports GLONASS, like the eTrex
The more usable satellites, the better.
And on the subject of the Pixel Shift tech, I assume it will boost resolution. Combining a non-AA filter with Pixel Shift tech promises effective resolution of much more than one might expect from a 24MP sensor.
But will Pixel Shift also boost dynamic range and signal to noise ratio? I presume Pixel Shifted images can be saved as 14bit RAW's, not just 8 bit JPG's....
I will also be curious to see how DxOMark score the K-3 II. Will DxOMark include Pixel Shifted output in it's score?
Plus how will existing RAW processors (DxO Optics Pro, C1, Lightroom etc) handle Pixel Shift RAW's? Many already have trouble with Foveon.
