To qualify as an "emotional" response would indicate that we actually care about your illogical statements Bob. There are only 2 ways to neutralize your type of posts: 1) To ignore them and starve...

You don't hide your bias very well. It's good to hear that not only do you have the inside line on both Fuji's and Pentax's future developments but you also think you know their launch dates! I...

A really, incredibly silly statement, especially when Pentax currently utilize Sony sensors. Proffering that kind of opinion can only have one aim.... and we all know what that is Bob!

The card door on my K5 is actually quite hard to open when you mean to open it.  The possibility of it ever falling open by accident I would say are zero.  It's a shame the reviewer didn't even...

I moved over to Corel PSPx5 and ASP From PSE about a year ago.  For me they both do the job for a reasonable price.  I have always been amazed at what Adobe charges for the full Photoshop and more...

I don't think the 60d or the d5000 are the competition to the K5II, I think the 7d and the d7000 are.  I personally never would have considered the 5dIII as a competitor as it's in a totally...

I agree about the flash system on Pentax (on bounce at least), less so on the focus system.  I've seen tests that show the Pentax AF is faster than the Canikon alternatives although most would say...

Sounds like your decision is really between a 35 and 40 focal length.  I opted for the DA35 2.4 because that closely equates to a "standard" lens for APS-c and delivers on the IQ front at a great...

There is also the Sigma 24 1.8, but that is a relatively big and heavy FF lens (as is the 28 1.8) that is soft wide open but fine after 2.8.  I own one and use it fairly often but if Pentax made a...

Just as I thought from his original post and his offensive replies to me and others who didn't tell him how wonderful he was, Yanko was trolling all along..........watch out Nikon forum, there may...

I'd love to add a SMC-A 50 f/1.2 to my bag because it's the largest aperture lens Pentax ever made (I think).A FA31 f/1.8 Limited would be nice to have too while Im dreaming...Pat

Even though I truly believe that FF would have virtually no advantage for me and for my photography I would be very interested in a Pentax FF if they decided to go that way in the future.  I don't...

I totally agree but if more people who proclaim to 'need' FF were honest with themselves and just said that they 'want' FF they probably wouldn't get such a hard time from "trolls and fanboys"...

I use a Sigma 24 f/1.8, it's a film era AF lens and Pentax mount examples seem to be scarce. Due to being FF it's also quite 'solid'. Not sure if it's any good for you though as it's soft till...

Gerry and Gordon,Thanks for your replies which I have found both interesting and informative on this issue. I now consider myself better educated than I (obviously) previously was in the pro's and...

It's an interesting conundrum and believe me Gordon, I'm not pixel obsessed, quite the opposite in fact (I will admit to a hatred of chroma noise though). I remember reading a few years ago that...

Gordon, I understand that if you downsample the 24mp sensor to 16mp they look similar in noise levels but to me the OOC RAW noise level is what counts. Downsampling an image is no different, IMO,...

I don't think that there is enough to upgrade from my K5 either and think the biggest change is in the AF. In general I have found the K5's AF to be pretty good and that's including photographing...

Sorry to say this but what a silly thing for anyone to say. If people had been that fixed in their reasoning years ago we'd all still be lugging round 6x6 cameras or bigger. An SLR is an SLR full...

Funny how some use the word 'need' in place of the word 'want'. I can see how someone might need a higher mp count our faster frame rates but sensor size?I'd rather have a solid pro level build...
