α7Rii with hefty crop. By the time my settings were improved for sharper captures, they were gone.

I miss the Pentax system a lot.. but sadly the e-finder ability to nail my preferences for exposure and WB is really useful to me. Now that their KAF4 mount is ready for mirrorless cameras to...

That's what I've done. I figure it's the best affordable sensor I can swing as a retiree. A few A-mount lenses with ea4 adapter, a few Pentax primes. Not ideal to bypass the great internal AF...

I'd like to have heard a sentence or two about the S1R as an option. Since video AFc isn't a major landscape metric, it should score decently well here.

OK, two sentences in place. :√)

Is it true that this is a flipout screen without the extra tilt, ie an S5 not S1 design? Silence is apparently consent, and I'm sad about that choice.

A fine image, the tone is really nice. I've often admired its framing of Mt. Adams while drivingng east.

Know what you mean, I waffled from GX1 to GX85 a time or two. The hacked GX1 had above-average video skills in the smallest of bodies, and a decent 16Mpx sensor.

Many of us do a little video that does not need c.AF. Touch AF is sufficient off the rear screen. The Lumix crap-AF argument does not apply to me, and if the S5ii allows an S5 Classic to reach my...

Great to know I'm not the only one who respects the "country of origin" in my drinking schedule.

After spending Christmas in the hospital, my resolution is to shut down the gear chase. Dump the...

Sounds like nikon has one press from Auto to a specific previous iso xx. Pentax lets one pick iso xx and green button overrides to Auto any time, but i don't think a second press goes back to iso xx. ...

Haven't watched yet, but i note the phrasing: what the companies have in store for us. Distinct from what owners actually want the market to provide.. supply + a token response to demand.

I'm quite happy with my BGN a7ii from keh. It has some of that screen delamination but it really doesn't show when screen is lit. About 28k on the shutter, so plenty of life remains. I always ...

I did that. For my preference the 1" didn't quite have enough subject separation/ out of focus blur, but μ43 did. I've changed other gear over the years but a Lumix or Oly has remained.

Added a near-match 24-105/D with a focus grip like the 100-300. Never had that one either, but dyxum reviews are good. Amazing that I managed to resurrect my old ID there! Those two and a few ...

I figured a somewhat recent cellphone was commander and photographer on this flight. That would be more computing power and image resolution than the Apollo missions ;^)

If that "tilting screen" is the S1 series dual -tilt.. yes, in a heartbeat! That heartbeat would have to come right after a lottery win, though. :-( well maybe they'll do a buy-back program for my ...

I'd go with .. whatever replaces the S-5. It's impressive enough, but I dream of a rangefinder design and perhaps 8k capable so ~32Mpx. I'd prefer the dual-tilt screen of the S1/XT4. My DFD ...

It will do fine with adapted and native lenses. Once "shoot without lens" is enabled, just pick the focal length that best matches your lens.  SR will be set for it and EXIF data will show that ...

This will be cool in my next phone!

They forgot to paint their logos black - Pentax wins again ;-)
