Perhaps it would be good for you to study these issues more before making such confident statements as you have made here about the performance of the K7 vs the K-x in terms of resolution, noise, DR or anything else.
Well I feel I can make the statements about the Kx vs K7 as subjectively the K7 has looked better in my eyes both times I've tested a Kx (2 different ones vs a K7). Everyone has opinions on what makes a picture 'look' better. Image quality is very subjective. It's not about pure numbers, it's about how someone feels when they look at a picture.
I make statements, this is the internet, it is quite difficult to convey emotion through the internet. I have been corrected about the DR on the eye, and based on what you are saying you are stating that I'm coming off as arrogant and cocky. Which I am not, I am an eager learner, if I wasn't I would of never posted twice now pictures comparing the Kx and K7. I fully posted them to see what other people thought and think, first time there were some issues with the testing, I went out learning what I did and tried re-testing.
Thanks for the link though. I'm sure there is a lot I can learn from the site. Again I hope I am not coming off as arrogant or anything like that.
Ultimately I would like to try and retest the K7 and KX again. However, other than the in-body sharpness thing, I'm not actually quite sure if I had done anything wrong in the way I've tested. I want to buy the KX for my gf, so I am trying to really like it.
Originally posted by zxaar na not at all, your findings are pretty much inline with what others have speculated about kx sensor.
i was talking about other thread comparing k7 and kx images, half of which is devoted to discussion whether kx images are even focused properly and then people playing with sharpness. And someone making conclusion that kx has uneven sharpness (probably meant resolution). Which i think that not possible for healthy sensor because for sensor all pixels should be equal. sensor only shows what reaches it through lense. so if there is unevenness either jpeg engine screwed it or testing procedure is faulty.
not about your op though.
Well unfortunately I've tested the K7 vs KX twice now, both using different KXs.
I am AWAITING someone else who would actually do the same thing. I invite you to do it.
