Originally posted by Arne Bo I think Pentax Ricoh should care first and foremost for the quality of the FF pictures and capabilities.
I agree. If you want a high resolution crop mode, stick to the K-5IIs, K-3, K-S1, KS-2.. so many options, from affordable, WR, to top tier.
I know a guy who decided not to buy K-3 simply because its file size was bigger than the K-5IIs. To him, the file size increase wasn't worth the slightly higher resolution. And I get that.
20-24MP for FF is a good place, good for noise at high ISO, good for printing and cropping. Going above 28MP.. well, I'm not updating anytime soon
I mean, what is the point in buying a 50MP FF that has the same or worse noise performance than the K-5IIs? Only people shooting wide angle might need that, and even then the crop sensor system has quite a few wide angle, ultra wide angle, and even some fisheye lenses available.
