Thanx for the link - very informative article from an unexpected perspective (a pro using small sensor cams for work).
The key elements of the article that stood out for me were the (i) importance of using base ISO whenever possible (no problem when there's lots of light), (ii) composing carefully to avoid too much cropping, (iii) the unobtrusive nature of small sensor cams.
I've done some A3 prints from the Q & been disappointed - understandable because I was trying to take a distant landscape & sky using ISO 500 after sunset with a very low shutter speed! Noise & lack of detail in shadows was very evident.
Currently I'm on a trip to Vietnam using Q (3 lenses) + K5 (2 lenses). Which one is getting the lion's share of pics? Yes - it's the Q, simply because of the convenience aspect, the light weight & low bulk. However, when we get to the really picturesque parts of the trip, I'm expecting the K5 will be doing most of the work, due to better color depth, availability of long tele (55-300) for cropping & much better prospects for larger prints.
Was only going to take Q on the trip originally, but decided the K5 weight/bulk penalty would be worth it to capture more detail when appropriate.
Thanks again for link - very thought-provoking!
