K8 Wishlist - built-in Projector

[eruditass]

The only sensible post here

That is gadgetry. Does not help image quality. A better "feature" would be a full frame sensor.

That is a waste of money, you'll need longer, heavier, more expensive glass and the only benefit in IQ is in very high ISO, sure you could get a few mm wider at the ultra wide end but then taking a couple of steps back would give you a similar result in APS-C.

A better feature would be a faster SR system and Predictive AF, the IQ is just fine except for the extreme and the better AF system will mean getting the shot instead of a high quality missed image.

Nikon can do it - surely Pentax will match them in the next camera release.

Yeah, I know I've been cynical about other "wishlist" posts, but I think this one has as much chance of materialising as the other wishlists.

All your “arguments” was in wild in Nikon forums….. Up until they got their own FF.

There is no doubt – in photography bigger is better. Regardless digital or film. Would you like to pay premium for FF is completely different story

Not necessarily for everyone

Until FF have matured enough with both pro and budget lens lines then FF is too expensive and bulky for most amatures. Sure many on this forum owns old FA-lenses but Pentax new customers don't.

That's a pretty cool trick.. I can see the appeal to a younger crowd/take pics & show right away to a group, or a business type application, I think it would prove a handy feature. (That said it's more appealing to me in a compact P&S than in a DSLR)

Will DSLR's that "just" concentrate on taking good quality pics (and not video and whatever else) soon become a niche? Guess I would be interested in a cam like that.

That would take the cake.

Here is a novel idea, how about a camera that has great DR and extremely low noise at 6400 ISO ....... I know, I know, sometimes I talk about crazy stuff !!!!!!

The one that has a coffee machine on it, so you don't have to stop shooting, to get a cup of coffee.

Please, Pentax... PLEASE!!!

Will it be able to serve popcorn while i watch the movie? If not, i just couldn't go for it.

How about leaving behind all the gimicky crap that other brands put on their cameras, such as video and projection and concentrate on a decent autofocus system that includes focus traking and predictive autofocus.

The quality glass is there, we just need a quality body to go with it

You are not serious are you? I laughed when I saw that new Nikon. What will they do next, add a phone? Perhaps a picbridge like function that automatically chooses your best photos and prints out an album.
