The reason I feel slightly cheated is that over the years, the K10, K20 and now the K7 have shown no real jumps in noise performance. Now suddenly the kx gets a sensor from a new manufacturer and with it a massive improvement in image quality, both in high and low iso ranges. And this camera was released quite quickly after the K7 was.
Originally posted by Ash ask yourself when you really need that ISO 3200 or 6400 shot...
As a wedding photographer, I can assure you, clean iso 6400 would be useful for
every single job. I am currently forced to use it
all the time. When you're forced to shoot f2.8 and 1/50th, and the camera
still needs iso 3200 to get the exposure, then clean iso 3200 and 6400 are essential. Like I already said. I do not WANT it, I NEED it.
