You need to understand the basis of the whole FF/crop issue.
When cameras changed from film to digital, the folks then felt that they 'lost' something. Their existing lenses where 'castrated' to a 1.5x crop. They lacked lenses on the wide end because of this as well. Imagine if your widest lens was 28mm and now it was more like 42mm and not wide at all
They also lamented the increase of DOF, film better than digital (another long argument), viewfinder size, etc.
For a long time, sensor yields just could not justify FF digital cameras and thus FF digital became a sort of holy grail (passed into legend).
The new wide and ultra wide lenses have long addressed the issue of the loss of wide angle lenses.
The greatness of FF is exaggerated. It is just one of many possible film/sensor sizes. Why not MF, where you get to use a larger lens than 35mm?
How does it limit photography?
How many FF lenses you have?
Are they going to perform at the resolutions you want/need on a FF sensor (esp. edge sharpness)?
An A850 is at its price point because it has a performance at that price point (wrt FF cameras).

Look again. Detail retention on :
i dunno.. as far as i can see, from the link you gave, there is quite a difference in detail retention between both cameras.. i guess you better take another look sirIts a ~3K decision. Its your to make of course. Just want to make sure you have the info and not just jump in.
Look again. Detail retention on :
Eye lashes
Cloth texture on the collar.
Beads on the necklace.
Of course its not fair to compare $700 camera with a $3200 one. But its getting close.
"you are looking at the photos selectively. If you look at the hair/ the end of the hair. you will know why some of us think that the output is no where near "close". Anyway, "close" is very subjective, what is define as "close" to you might not be equally "close" from others perspective. So gets keep our discussion back to K-5 and KR! BBB!
haha not really leh. The hair starts from the top of the head all the way to the shoulder. If i were to copy paste that portion it will be larger than 3 sample areas you show. ;p3 sample areas compared to one area is selective?
At least my sample size is larger.
So its better to look if someone has a bad hair day then to look at their eyes, clothing and jewelery :think:
Usually AF is not much of a concern to me. But this time round I really want to see how the new AF performs. Good noise control at high ISO must pair up with fast AF at low light mah
