Originally posted by blackcloudbrew Because I'm not a professional photographer, shooting something like 10,000 frames in several months, is way beyond any thing I've done annually with any camera over the past 7 years. I shoot a lot (or so I think) but I don't think I've shot 10k frames even in one year. I might be old school here too as a landscape photographer and I try to put some thought in to my shots. Not saying that you or anyone else doesn't do that as well, but I just tend to work slow.
I think if I was shooting action subjects (and some others I'd guess) I'd be telling a different story. The bottom line here for me is that the OP's review, based on pro work with three serious cameras while doing that work, just impressed me with the quantity of images. I can't even imagine post processing those images in a short period of time either.
We shoot a lot, yes.
I shoot for many formats, many crops and many uses.
I the old days of film it just wasn't feasible, we didn't have the option to do it.
Now I can give you a high res image and give you almost any option on it, within seconds.
That being said, I use fast media and I don't ever expect to run into buffers or have cameras jam up on me.
The Pentax has been grand so far and I'm truly impressed.
The service end of things is the next part to find out about.
