If I may. I recognize the first shot as Wilson Peak.....a 14er known to many as the Coors Light peak. This vantage point appears to be from the less prominent east side.....taken from CO 145 north...

Indescribably profound. Thanks for sharing.

I think it makes a big difference as to which model. Is it a *istD.....or a *istDL or *istDS. The former was the high end version of the three. The latter were considered entry level models. As...

Also, B&H Camera will let you buy a camera and return it in 30 days if not satisfied.

The Fry's Electronics on 600 East Hamilton in San Jose states they have the K5 in stock. And San Jose Camera shows they have a K7. Neither of those may be the ones you want to look at.....but they...

I would also add that it's not always universal in HOW people describe a "failure" when it actually might be ineptitude on their part. For example, the Sigma 70-300 APO lens I own states that it is...

"Can't remember" and "apparently" is not real persuasive. Fact is if you Google this issue there are a myriad of results ranging from extremely bad to very good reliability. One can't just...

Interesting page on this matter.....as are the comments below the video:   http://www.sonyalpharumors.com/full-frame-dslr-with-24-mpx-sony-sensor-from-pentax/

Yes, but did you notice the K5II rating.....2.5 out of 5? Really?

Looks like an Ibis.

He also posted this info on his Google+ page.... Mike SvitekMar 20, 2013 - PublicTesting out the new Pentax K-# HDSLR [ ;) WINK WINK... NUDGE NUDGE ] with the Pentax 77mm Limited Prime lens ......

Cool, thanks for the info, Ron. I live on the other side of Colorado.....but occasionally get over to Utah and been in Price Canyon before, but not Whitmore.

Definitely need to click on the "original" size (and then expand) to appreciate it. Nice shot. Was this taken somewhere in Utah?

"Competitive" and "failure" are relative terms that don't always apply to direct competition with other companies. R&D doesn't always require exorbitant money, esp. if people are thinking outside...

Definitely not wanting to follow the crowd was a MAJOR consideration. But also at the time I was first looking at DSLR's (2006), there were not very many models to choose from. I decided on a...

I guess I don't understand why it matters? People are different and they approach things accordingly. Along those lines, to ask why some people don't "see" something the way another does seems like...

The short answer is yes. Especially when you consider I was able to get about 80% or better in focus shots of my son playing soccer with the K-r (using AF-C) and the kit 50-200. So it wouldn't be...

Wow, that's way overstated to call them utter failures. I don't have experience with the 18-135 or the 16-50, but my sense is that they can't be so bad as to be called failures.....even in...

I hate to be the lone dissenter here, but the exposure is far from spot on. The highlights in the clouds, sides of buildings, waves, and lighthouse are very blown out. I'm kinda surprised the K5 is...
