Originally posted by normhead And then someone will post their example taken with their Fuji/Sony/Panasonic or whatever camera that does 4000 exposures, and explain why they can't possibly live without at least 3800.
But does that exist? Right now, I'm only finding documentation for cameras that can do 9 or 10 shots.
This article on multi-exposure from 2013 states that "On consumer DSLRs you can only combine three images, but on the pro models you can combine up to ten." It's possible that, on this particular metric, the K-3 is
two orders of magnitude better than anything else out there! I would have thought that by now - the K-3 is a year old! - others probably would have noticed and added sophisticated multi-exposure to their feature checklist, but maybe not. I tried to look at the manual for the D750, but it doesn't state how many frames can be combined. I did notice that it states that "Multiple exposures can not be recorded in live view", and I'd be surprised if the K-3 had that limitation. I believe the Fuji XT-1 maxes out at TWO shots - 1,998 less than the K-3! The Olympus E-M1 may also only combine two, if I undertsand its manual correctly, but one of those can be a previous shot, so you can manually do more than two by repeating the process and adding one frame at a time to your previous shot, which was itself the result of combining two shots, and so on. Must be pretty painful. The Panasonic GH4 - again, if understand its manual correctly - can overlay four frames, but one of those can be a previously taken shot, so you can repeat the process to do a more-than-four-shot multi-exposure. Again, very painful. I also doubt any of those cameras will resume the multi-exposure process if the camera is turned off and back on, as is claimed the K-3 does up-thread....
EDIT: Canon 7D Mark II Multiple Exposure does 2-9 shots (
