| Originally posted by ChristianRock It sounds like you're having fun with the K-S1, indeed How do you like it so far? Too limited (not in the good sense )?there's no where to put your left hand if there's a pancake lens on it.... plus the squared edges all over the camera... it's like it was made to be seen, not used.... but this 20mp sensor is a sweetheart, isn't it? really great colors and fine clarity... it's better than the sensor in my K-5 IIs, and I've always been impressed with that one.... | |

They addressed your concerns with the K-S2 basically. And the K-70. I am pretty sure there's a K-70 in my future at some point. Since you shoot JPEG, the new "Clarity Enhancement" setting that started with the K-S2 might also make it worth trading your K-S1 for a K-S2 or newer. Even if you're only going to use it with the new adaptive mount, it might still be worth it just for the ergonomics. | |

| Originally posted by pepperberry farm the Adaptist mount I have will only work on a non-WR camera body... the K-S1 is the most recent model that isn't WR.... After you get used to it, the K-S1 is alright in the hands. The only thing that doesn't feel right for me is when I'm using long lenses. | |

| Originally posted by ChristianRock Oh yeah, that's right, you did mention that. After you get used to it, the K-S1 is alright in the hands. The only thing that doesn't feel right for me is when I'm using long lenses. | |

| Originally posted by ChristianRock Yes! I've long said that the K-S1 is my "K1000" - kind of square and if you think of it as a camera where you set the ISO, change aperture on the lens, focus manually and change shutter speed via its dial - it's the modern day version of the "student camera". With the green button as a bonus... I love using it that way. With A lenses, the Exposure button makes it go back and forth between aperture and shutter speed, and once I got the hang of that, I was able to work fast with that option as well and the other advantage is that the green button becomes silent and immediate... plus, if there's ever an issue with aperture-block failure, it won't matter... | |
