Originally posted by Cynog Ap Brychan I have a Nikon D810 and a Df (same sensor as the D4) and it is my considered opinion that the K-3 DOES hold a candle to them as far as image quality and a lot of other features are concerned. Yes the D810 has a full frame 36 mpx sensor, but for most uses I am hard pressed to see any difference in the end result. When it comes to value for money its the D810 and Df that cannot hold a candle to the Pentax. When the full-frame Pentax comes along, I am retiring the NIkons, that's how highly I think of Pentax cameras and lenses.
It's refreshing to read an honest opinion from someone who has the experience (with different systems) and an unbiased perspective. These are the posts that I value the most here at the forum. Thank you.
A lot of folks (including myself) discuss the minutia of dslr specs, the hardware, the performance at specific parameters, scrutinizing the pixels and the noise performance. We often seem to forget that even the most basic and rudimentary photographic equipment have the potential to satisfy most of peoples shootings needs, that the limiting factor is never the technology but the end user. A camera speaks through images alone, and sometimes when guided by a sensible eye, and moment's opportune amazing narrative works emerge. For all of us who invest time and money in photography any passing moment not accompanied by the sounds of a shutter firing, is a wasted moment.
