why I won't buy a k3 (Warning: Satire Thread)

It probably will have poor video! And poor third party support! Yup no tethering! IBIS will be ineffective with FF lenses! And yup outdated UI! What, P(athetic)-TTL again! And horrors of horrors: It's got the dreaded Hocir imprinted on it as mark of the devil! It's the equivalent of "666"

:lol

I've yet to see pp software that doesn't have a crop tool.

Oh... What factor??

It's all so confusing

**savoche** · 02-05-2015, 08:31 AM

Oh damn... What crop factor is Lightroom? Will my 35mm show up as 52mm? Or was LR written for 6x7??

Exactly. Or rather, what are the FFisters going to complain about now?

The complaints will start with the video and continue to the obvious lack of a multi-cup option.

AsI said one of the announcement threads; nobody has any specs on it, but I'm sure Ogl will be along soon to tell us what's wrong with it. (No doubt the Sonytrolls will chime in too.)

Any bets on what direction that one's going to go?

Foodstuffs with high fat content like bacon and cheese?

Oh, missing the point! With Canon, and some other systems too, you cannot physically mount APS-C lenses on their FF bodies and retain full functionality. Cropping in PP isn't an option, you need to buy new lenses when upgrading to FF.

I don't know . . .

This thread just can't manage to stay off-track. We need our fearless moderator to straighten it out again.

I had a meat lovers omelet and home fries this morning for breakfast. It had onions, peppers, cheese, bacon, ham, sausage, and beef in it.

Let me finish my lutefisk and Nutella sammich, and I'll try and find a way to get it back off track.

I hear that spending too much time outside in the frozen arctic wastelands of South Dakota damages the part of the brain that receives signals from your tastebuds. Can you comment on this?
