I think it 's not about the magic 6mrixs. Those who shoot with old cameras like to do it. This is a real hobby. I bought one for myself, too. Accidentally K100 with a 28-70 F4 lens . Here I will argue with myself, because I was also surprised by the quality of the image when it turns out. I am very happy with the purchase and every Euro spent was worth it and even more.

I am not sure if I posted this one already years ago but in 2008 even sports photography was possible with a 6Mp Pentax
Of course we know much better now and sports photography is definitely impossible with Pentax today ...

Having just re-aquired a *ist DL2 I have been going back through some of my old images and realised many of my favourites were we shot with one. Makes you wonder how we managed with 6MP, no IS, and fearing to go above 400 ISO

Another *ist DL2 shot from 2008

Probably the same way we managed to get by with no IS and a fixed ISO back in the film days.

IS DO not Touch , it works and works well. This is Kropp, the picture was taken in the light of dim lanterns.Everything is visible in exif. If laziness is 28mm, f / 4, 1/6. Hands after the bike). Yes, and in my opinion 1600 is quite working.

What I like the most of those 6MP Cameras (I own D, DS and DS2): NOT need for focus correction with Manual/Vintage Lens. That small focus calibration is a MUST in the SR cameras (K10D, KX, K5II,K30, K50,K3II)
The image "quality" could be equalize in Post Processing to mimic the CCD sensor charm from any CMOS sensor, so no gain here but time.
Old Hoobie: If You shoted in film You could remember that there was a "blind" expectation between the moment you load the filrm, take the picture, rewind the roll and get the developed prints in yours hands just to find a Joy or an "oportunity to learn from mistakes" ha ha
With an 1.8 inches Camera Screen We need to wait to get the photos displayed in a large monitor to get that Joy of a nice shot or garbage: meaning Nostalgia.

No way of being sure, but I think so. Wide open or close to it. Thanks!
