hlritter: The editor in me can't help pointing out that the misapprehended term in the second sentence of the story is not "B-line" but "beeline", meaning a straight line between two places. Per the Oxford English Dictionary, "with reference to the straight line supposedly taken instinctively by a bee when returning to the hive." In other words, the finder goes directly to the used-camera section whenever she enters a thrift store.
Misspelling is their greatest “skill.”
$1100 is pretty pricey for a mid-range DSLR body.
Great news!
Johnedlt: So what happened to the gold or silver DPR Seal?
Ahhh....I hadn't considered that.
Johnedlt: So what happened to the gold or silver DPR Seal?
Silver...right next to the score.
Wow! SO MUCH BETTER! This is WAY overdue.
It's a well-established fact that white text on a black background is very hard on the eyes when reading.
Now, about your unwillingness to proofread your articles...
quiquae: Any suggestion for a replacement to Flickr as a place to share images with the general public? I do like Flickr's proposition of community-based photo sharing, but their execution of the concept has been rather suspect for some time now.
I do not enjoy 500px as it is way too slanted towards the popularity contest aspect, and too often "the best Photoshopper" contest at that. DPR is too slanted toward gear talk, and few photo sharing opportunity apart from contests. Instagram is, well, Instagram. I generally want to brush up my photos carefully before sharing with the entire world, and Instagram runs exactly counter to that philosophy.
SmugMug is the way to go. Flickr is a waste of time and effort.
Booorrrinnngg!!!
Pandimonium: So anybody got any idea about the mystery rubber rimmed unmarked right dial?
Likely MadHamster nailed it.
Amazing how so many folks knock this bag and the company without doing their due diligence in research.
I think someone translated wrong; it's the customer's dollars that are most important for Sony. They could give a rat's behind about customer opinion or customer experience.
BeaverTerror: Incorrect headline, very poor journalism by DPreview staff, maliciously done on purpose to generate page views?
Not the world's shortest zoom lens by a long shot. As the footnote indicates, it's only the shortest DSLR zoom lens.
Journalism and DPReview don't belong in the same sentence.
select: I think the K-3 is the best aps-c on the market, in this color is awesome!
but they should make some more lenses and a FF camera...
An object is not "better" in and of itself--only in regard to how it suits an individual's purpose.
Who cares? These and other cameras can shoot a decent pic at quite high ISOs. Do you think you folks could focus on something important for a change? Perhaps photography, for instance.
Is it December 31 already?
Zvonimir Tosic: What is the point of these random snapshots done with random lenses?
There are already hundreds of superb photographs taken by renowned photographers with this camera that are nothing short of amazing.
I believe people buying cameras such as K-3 et al aren't really interested in snapshots; such galleries are maybe good for pocket compacts, but for top of the line weatherproof DSLRs with 8.3 fps, 24MPs, selectable AA, etc ..?
C'mon. Times change, people's habits change, but DPR's habits never, it seems. Good old 2004 is still on around here.
I agree. They just do it to give the impression they're providing something of value. And for SEO, of course.
Seems to me Pentax offered a kit with a 35mm lens (K30?), which is essentially a 50mm view. So, it hasn't been *that* long since someone has offered a standard FL lens in a kit.
And Pentax has always had full compatibility with its old lenses. Everyone's making it sound like this is a new concept.
While I'm undecided on the styling, the function is what matters most to me. I'm curious to see what others have to say about how this camera works in the real world.
However, once again, Nikon has shown its greedy colors. I was excited about this camera, but the price tag is ridiculous, even with the sooper-dooper sensor. Until the price becomes reasonable (<$2000), I'll stick with my other full frame Nikon, the F100.
I love the idea of this camera and would buy it in a second if the price wasn't so astronomically out of line.
tommy leong: are you able with a quick glance
tell from this Corporate release
how this camera is different from its siblings ???
What art of communication is this...
Different sensor...this camera doesn't have the X-trans type of sensor its siblings have. It has the Bayer type of sensor found in most digital cameras.
