Originally posted by mroeder75 You with the 6 mp cameras make me question why I should trade my K-5 for a K-3, KP, or K-1. You have posted some great photos.
For me, the only real reason for "updating" my body was to be able to crop the results more heavily and still end up with a detailed picture ... there's just so much more enlargement available on a 16 or 24 megapixel image. Also, the TAV-mode is proving very useful and the higher ISO capabilities and lower noise in poor light is very welcome.
However, on a nice sunny day, for subjects that I can "fill the viewfinder with" and aren't about to disappear to the next parish as soon as I point my camera at them, the slightly more relaxed approach I can manage can be served perfectly adequately with my old *istD cameras. I also get a great deal of satisfaction knowing my investment in these units is still paying off
Taken yesterday with my *istD L2 and a Fujinon 35mm f/1.9. From the camera, just cropped at one end and resized for posting.
