Great video of some industry-professionals testing the current dslr-generation against traditional film:
The Great Camera Shootout 2010 | Zacuto
Not exactly Pentax-related, but I found it quite interesting. Definetly should silence the "video in dslr is crap"-people, because it actually holds up well compared to film.
Unfortunately, Pentax is not part of the test. I canīt say if industry-professionals simply donīt know about Pentax, but my guess would be itīs due to the lack of manual control. Otherwise I think it would have killed some of the cameras, the look of the pentax video is really film-like. But hey, itīs not like we arenīt used to it....would have been great free marketing for them though!
EDIT:
The reason Pentax wasnīt in it:
"I want to explain why we chose these “DSLRs” are not others. Simply to qualify it needed to be 24p ideally but most key was the ability to get full manual control. No full manual control and the camera was binned from the test."
