Catch 22: Had we not invited you, you'd be feeling even more left out about now. I can't think of many retail establishments, even online ones, that launch worldwide all at once.

I'll admit, I am indeed biased. I'm biased in favor of quality cameras, good performance, and excellent image quality. That's why you come to dpreview to get an experienced opinion. It's in our...

No bias here. I'm reviewing the K-5 II and K-5 IIS at the moment. They're similar enough to the K-5 that many have criticized us for reviewing them at all, but we're doing it anyway because we...

Thanks, fixed.

Lucas,

We're in agreement on that. I use Photoshop daily at my work, and my work will continue to pay for it, but personally I do what most do and upgrade every other version. I won't be open to a...

Lucas,

When you look at any lens with a higher resolution sensor, its flaws become more apparent. For example, the original Digital Rebel's kit lens looked great at 6 megapixels, but when we attached the...

Thanks for the suggestion. If you go to the second page of this article, you'll see portraits. http://www.dpreview.com/articles/6059494336/review-in-progress-pentax-k-5-ii-and-k-5-ii-s/2

That's not really related to this article, but I did manage to find what you were talking about and fix it. Thanks for letting us know.

Thanks, I'll give it a look. Can you show me a sample from your own shots where you saw the problem so I can approximate the scene? I'll look at photozone.de to see what they thought. If you look...
