After all the bother about noise at high ISO being so important that I've seen threads where people advocated buying 12MP full frame over a 16 MP APS-c camera for the supposed better high ISO performance, even when the APS-c had a much higher rating on DxO, I refuse to even read this article.
DPR used low light performance to trash Pentax when Pentax was already pretty good at it, now that Pentax has put some money into increasing low light performance, it's not worth upgrading for. You will never see a bunch of more two faced, target changing hypocrites than DPR.
The question is not whether or not everyone should upgrade, the question is who should upgrade. Wedding photographers, come to mind. Every little bit of high ISO performance counts. Anyone doing low light candids on a regular basis or event photography. And I'm completely over the top tired of having to correct the nonsense published over at DPR. It's getting to the point where if I see DPR in a thread, I'm not going to read it, except to ask folks not to repeat what they read over there, over here.
DPR deserves the NPF label.
Not
Pentax
Friendly.
In the 7 years of cruisiing the internet since I became an active PF member, I have not one quote from DPR I ever felt was worth posting. I refer to Imaging Resources , Photozone and other sites all the time. If after 7 years all a site has done is waste your time maybe it's time to start hoping for it's demise. In my book, DPR is doomed.
But maybe someone can post something useful they rad on DPR to justify it's existence. Maybe I just missed it. Until someone does I'm comparing them to the anit-christ, and crossing myself every time I hear them mentioned. And I'm not even Catholic.
It's just a precaution lest i become infected.
The site is truly diseased.
