I came to the D800 from the Pentax K5 world and I would suggest that in build quality they're easily peers and they feel great in the hands. So, IMO, the K5 is an excellent camera, well and solidly...

So, as soon as your work is publicly displayed we're free to take and use as we see fit? Even for massive profit for ourselves and none for you? That may be okay with you, not so much by me....

You miss the mark and clearly don't understand the judgement. The stamp was directly derivative (heck, the writing on it clearly stated so) and was not the incidental appearance of something that...

@K_Photo_Teach - Of course, but if their use as a camera is going to be flogged on a site dedicated to photography gear then they're subject to some comparison. Most of these companies heavily push...

Meh... They all look terrible. I've seen better ISO 12800 shots from a dSLR than these produce at their "base" ISO.

Actually, they call it the "Image Comparison Tool" but don't let that stop you from feel faux outrage over a perceived slight to whatever else happens to be your unspoken favourite...

Kind of what I figured, but the initial statement was fairly unequivocal at the time which is why I commented. They're not entirely related though, the pixel pitch on the D800 is smaller than the...

He claimed that they bonded two 16mpx APS-C sensors, so your explanation would require them to have actually bonded two and a bit which is further evidence that the claim doesn't make any...

My math says 16.3 x 2 = 32.6 effective (33.8 actual given K-5 data) and the D800 has 36.3 effective and 36.8 actual. Where are the extra pixels coming from?

While "cropability" is not necessarily an argument for full frame, consider that on a D800 you can crop away more than 50% of the pixels and still have a larger image than a K-5 while having almost...

Yes, but vibrations in the building can still transmit up the tripod and you're not going to be all that steady for that length of time either. Bear in mind that you also have the impact of mirror...

About a year ago, a few suggested that I should wait on a D800 purchase because Pentax was going to announce a new FF body real soon now. Well... not so much. I don't know why people persist in...

Well, I wouldn't have guessed that with Samsung making sensors, but there you go, a quick Google backs that up. At any rate, the high ISO performance of the K20D and K- 7 with the Samsung aren't...

My image from my gallery seems broken right now... If you click to view original, you'll see it.

For entirely different reasons than the ones you list because, frankly, with current Pentax cameras, your reasons aren't really true anymore. A few of us that jumped to other systems (Nikon D800...

Cancel your Adorama order and order it from B&H or someone else. The 85mm f/1.8g isn't a rare lens as far as I can tell, my wife bought me mine by walking into a store and getting it, so I suspect...

Not sure what you mean by 32 bits... The iMac's with your version have the Radeon HD 2600 PRO cards in them and that has a bus width of 128 bits. Not sure which of these you...

Did the K-5 to D800 switch back in the fall and I don't regret it. The K-5 is a stellar camera and, to me, the D800 is basically the full frame equivalent in terms of sensor performance, so as a...

Not surprised in the slightest as I only sold mine because of a switch to the Nikon D800. Despite reviews that claimed otherwise, the 18-135mm was perfectly fine for most general uses. The range is...
