Re: Bargain Gem oft passed over

The sensor is getting "old" now but still stands up very well which is no doubt why they`ve not bothered changing it, I`m glad they left the weak (sharp) AA filter on from the NX200 and didn`t mess with it .... one thing the Pentax K01 had was an excellent sensor so your comparison is praise indeed ...

I tried an NX5 body I got cheap last year and found it a wholly miserable camera with very poor LCD and EVF, slow and occasionally flaky AF and the output from the sensor didn`t seem as good as I remember the Pentax K20 to be and I was running better glass on the NX5 (the 20-50 and 30mm). .. Just shows where the big jump was (the NX200, fast accurate AF and 20Mp sensor launch)
