Originally posted by normhead This is such a typical "academic" type response. pointing out everything that might be wrong..... think court of law here... this is evidence. You may
have issues with the evidence, but, it's still evidence.
The problem is, though, I could produce 'evidence' right now in this thread that my K20D is almost on-par with my D800, and I could convince folks who weren't familiar with either model that they were, roughly, equivalent in IQ.
The K-3 looks great as I knew it would, but as Adam and Falc and others have implied, a 'test' like this can show you anything you really want to see, especially if done halfhazardly or under conditions that even things out.
On a related note, here's what I've been thinking and saying for three years now - if Pentax can make aps-c DSLRs that lead that tier in IQ... what could they do if they moved into FF? A Pentax FF with a 36MP Exmor sensor with Pentax's treatment and a new, more powerful AF module? How can this not make people drool!?
