Sure, anyone can put a whole bunch of tiny pixels on a sensor. There is nothing to it. You are letting pixel count be your only guide to cameras. Using your logic, the D800 is miles ahead...

Pentax does not make its own sensors. Therefore, it must buy them from someone else, and it is definitely cheaper to buy them off the shelf rather than have them custom made. They can either pay...

That may or may not be so, but the designer of an APS-C lens don't have to worry much about corner sharpness and may make the center sharper and let corner sharpness go to h e l l.

I believe it, and so do many people who tired of waiting for one and bought their full frame from other camera makers. That should keep Pentax execs up at night, worrying about what the D800...

That is sound reasoning. However, remember when the CEO of Leica announced that there would be a full frame M series camera? He was fired, and Leica assured the world that no FF is in the plans. ...

Personally, I would rate the Canon above the Nikon because of larger pixels and higher maximum frame rate. How DP Review may score the two cameras would not affect my own preference. If someone...

Canon should do its own thing, because many people will simply buy Nikon just because of the name. The $5,000 12mp crop sensor D2X outsold the $3,300 Canon 5D full frame. Was it because the D2x...

If they are going to charge that much for a lens, at least they should put a metal lens mount on it. Pentax is penny wise and pound foolish. How much more does a metal lens mount cost to...

Pentax had a 55mm f/1.8 K lens, which is the K mount version of the older screw mount design, so yes, this DA 50mm is a new design, and it is APS-C lens, which means it will not cover full frame. ...

I wonder what may happen to Leica M prices and market share if a camera maker like Samsung were to build a mirrorless full frame model using a Sony FF sensor (the same one in the D800, or possibly...

The take home lesson from this article is that clean high ISO images made many of these photos possible. That is why the D4, with fewer pixels, cost more than the D800.

Competition is increasing. Nikon just released an entry level DSLR with 24mp and a red body. Thinking about FF is useless. They have to burn the midnight oil right now designing one, if they...

24 frames per second at full resolution. It is a sports photographer's dream. It may be a better camera than the 1DX for sports photography.

Even though this camera is aimed at sports photographers, I expect them to use it. Basically, this camera gives the sports photographer 24 frames per second capability, compared to 11 fps for...

Even though this camera is not aimed at the sports photographer market, I expect quite a few of them to use it. Basically, this camera gives the sports photographer 24 frames per second...

Actually, this camera was predicted a couple years ago by the Luminous Landscape. The convergence of video and still. Who needs two cameras and a maximum frame rate of 11, when you can shoot 24...

Few people realize this, but this is probably the beginning of end of cameras like the 1DX. The 1DX is a sports model that can shoot 11 fps, IIRC, but this beast can shoot 24 frames per second at...

I have an old Tokina AF lens in Nikon mount, and it won't work on the Nikon D100. It just flashes F-- even though the aperture ring is at the minimum aperture and locked. I know this lens needs...
