Love the subject isolation on Look decent. Madaboutpix Thanks for making the sample images available prior to your full review of the camera. Petroglyph The gallery looks really good. Thank you for compiling it.
Daft Punk Nice picture quality. Nothing to grumble about here. Very nice indeed. Max Iso Is it the camera color being way off or are the guys lips really that color? At least I wouldn't know a male person, who would ever be using a lipstick with such an ugly color ; Probably the camera profile is way off, and the sensor which is an elderly Sony sensor is innocent.
Probably have nothing to do with either the profile or the sensor. Max Iso I was thinking the same thing, lipstick. Rick Stirling It was done in post. The reds were boosted.
Download the RAW file. Intermittentoverexposure I like the sample gallery. Thank you so much!! V Ahrlenz Perhaps there is a correlation between camera size and the capacity for critical thought. Michiel Camera size, size of hands, capacity for critical thought. Maybe you need to check your monitor. Mateus1 Greens are over saturated and look rather unnatural. LensBeginner They look quite natural to me. Have you calibrated your monitor? Rick Stirling Keep in mind that many of these images were 'massaged' in post.
Class A Thanks for sharing. Daisy Deng Beautiful Spring. Toselli I use that lens too on my k-1! MyReality If the majority of people use a certain technology, than by definition it can not be dying or outdated. MyReality sirhawkeye64 - DSLR's and the combustion engine will be outdated when the majority uses them. Revenant I wouldn't say that mirrorless is still in its infancy. Michiel Define "old dying". DSLR will probably face a similar development in the medium term, say, in 5 to 10 years.
I bet you guys can make the easy connection to cameras today. ABW very nice looking pics considering these are what I'd call 'general snapshots'.
PDD Great! V Ahrlenz These photos are very appealing. Tan68 Not even gently will Pentax venture into the night. Younes B Will await review of the AF system and video specs. PhotoRotterdam For a number of people, video capabilities are important. Alex Sarbu Thank you; I'm looking forward for the review.
Nice colors. JensR Thank you so much for doing a full review of this camera. JensR I am actually thinking about getting a used A7Rii as a second body, but the A7Riii is too expensive, not weather sealed enough and does not have enough buttons to replace my K1. Because this would mean, that denoising is stronger. I always would prefer genuine sensor performance, like from BSI and dual gain pixels. But isn't the issue gone anyway with the III models? But this didn't become accepted in the market apparently.
Another try? Exactly like this hand-held pixel shift, to get us back on topic ;. So, Sony bought Toshiba's sensor division ; smart, ey? I don't blame them for that. Why would it be nonsense, to be better than the K-1, for photographic sensor quality? But there are benefits for photographers as well. Landscape hobbyist nerds wouldn't be attracted by eye AF as much, I know ; But hobbyists usually like to follow professionals in their brand decisions.
But Nikon owners are less privileged, as adapters for Nikon are behind those for Canon. It must feel like being totally stuck, with no hope :. Gon0S dpthoughts Just about the 'like a pro' effect, not sure you are right with this one. There, the pro penetration for photo-only work is isn't at its infancies any longer.
I woudn't call it a war. There are diverse offerings for diverse needs. So by know, Pentax even fell behind its mirrorless competition with regards to battery life. Battery life was just the next item in the row. And also look at the top DSLR lens sales. Pentax vanished completely out of there. And again, there's nothing, no development at the horizon which could give some hope. Pentax was never high in Amazon sales rankings, that's true.
But a few years ago, Pentax had at least something in the top sales ranking. But a nifty fifty is often the 1st lens, which someone buys to accompany his kit lens. MrBrightSide And there you have it. Akgbkd keep getting jealous.
JensR That is an interesting comment. PhotoRotterdam I thought Canon produced the most beautiful, morst organic, most real images. The poor K lens choice devalues the K-1 II further, it is still a lens museum. The Pentax flash-system is also junk. Thats all not "benchmark" ;. Core features such as autofocus are falling more and more behind. You might cross shop it with the A7RII, though. Richmondthefish Here's some of the lens. Covers a decent amount of ground for most people. John McMillin What lenses, exactly, does Pentax lack?
Micahlee The first three on that list are incredible in every way build quality, Sharpness, Bokeh, color, contrast, 3D look, fast auto focus etc. Tan68 6BQ MyReality I am liking it even more, since I have a source for new vintage Asahi manual lenses at cheap prices. Nachtkuh What about modern primes with decent, silent AF? Have you seen my pointer to the full list above? Rick Stirling I'd have to add the Irix Blackstone 15mm to the list.
Micahlee Absolutely, and possibly the best low light camera. Prognathous Judging from the samples on other sites, the ultra-high ISO is about as good as the Nikon D5, or in other words not useful for anything except discussion in review comments.
Tan68 ISO. Expect maybe 0. Richmondthefish Can't wait for the camerastoretv guys to review this. Tan68 I don't know if the quoted comment is bad or not. It is affected. LensBeginner Jader who? JoshuaT It is tough to commit to a new system that don't have many lens offering comparable to Nikon and Canon. Neez I have a Sony A7ii, their rate of innovation is significantly faster than pentax. Michiel The problem of course with digital cameras is that, as well built as they may be, the software support may not be there in ten years time.
No one knows. Old Cameras panther fan All camera manufacturers would like you to be shooting with their latest gear and for you to update as often as you can afford - or, preferably, slightly more often.
