Originally posted by kingtux My main concern is with the "mirror slap" discussion that I've been reading about here and other online forums? Is it something that Pentax is looking at fixing or what? I would like to pull the trigger tonight on the kit at B&H but nervous about problems that this may cause to a newbie in photography.
Can anyone shed some light
As was stated earlier, this is all over dpreview, where they like to talk like a lot of technical gurus. You wont find alot of discussion on this board, mostly because it is a couple of very vocal people shouting that if they do X plus Y times Z then multiply by 10 and divide by two, you get a double image from mirror slap!
If you are that concerned with pixel peeping, I would say go ahead and order it, and run their gauntlet of testing. Otherwise, get it and take several hundred photos as you would, pixel peep those and see whether it is right for you. You can always return it (if not to BH, use amazon or somewhere that returns are free).
