I want to get a second body. I have a K10D and I my only gripe with it is the number of frames per second that it takes. I have found more than once that I have just missed something as the time gap between frames is to great.
She who must be obeyed has a Km which has much the same FPS rate as the K10but it seems but it looks like the KX has a higher one, however Pentax have now thrown a spanner in the works with KR. which is even greater. I know the other differences between the kx and the Kr from Pentax website and since I don't use live view , shoot movies, do low light stuff[much]most of the improvement don't do much for me BUT that high FPS does.
I bought a x70 as it has a high burst rate but the images get taken at 5mp and are frankly not very good quality in that mode, it seesm to use the video modes to do this, worse still any image over 200 asa is very noisy and above 400 the jepg conversion is terrible so that route of a bridge camera is out.
What I can't wrap my head around is the almost double price of a KR to a KX. is that higher frame rate worth that much money. What I need to find out is three things,
How much faster is the FPS on a Kx vs the K!O?
How much difference does the higher frame rate of a Kr made compared to a KX?
Is it possible to extract high quality stills from video and should I maybe rather go down that route.??????????is there a video forum I should talk to?
