Wow thanks! Then there is no point in me getting it. I've used my friend's nikon d700 before and the very first thing i cant stand is the weight... Break shoulders that thing..
Thats like what I say... If u have not use it... All talk is just talk... wouldn't it be more meaningful if u use it and comment about it... Sure not all will like it need it or whatever... But at least it's base on actual experience...
Owning a Ferrari will not make me a better driver... And I dun own 1... But would I like to have 1 sure why not... But would I say owning a Ferrari is a waste of money since it dun serve any purpose other than taking me from point A to point B ? I wouldn't know since I dun own 1... Maybe 1 day I will let u know... But whatever case it will be base on actual user experience...
fengwei said:Never had a FF dSLR, but used quite a few, mostly friends copies. As you said, I just don't like the size and weight, and the IQ gain won't do me much good. I won't like it if they can't make the bodies/lenses smaller. The IQ can be different from a FF to APSC, but the difference is much less than a Ferrari to a Latio. I don't mind having/driving a Ferrari ;p, but I don't fancy carrying a FF dSLR around for long that's for sure. If I wanted/needed an FF, I'd have got one long time ago.
If Pentax can make a FF body close to the size/weight of a K5 (which I'm sure they will ), I'd be very interested. But if they make one like a D800 or 5DIII, I'd stick w/ my K5 that's for sure.
For pros like our Reportage, they make money by taking photos, I'm sure they don't mind carrying a bit extra load if the money is good. But for most consumers (me included), I'd say a smaller and lighter camera with good enough IQ would be a better choice.
If you look around here at the forum or DPR, you can see a lot guys (including quite some FF owners) moved to m4/3 system due to its small size and good enough IQ. But I myself just dumped my m4/3 and changed to an even smaller X-10
V wierd . Once Pentax got FF I think 50% of us will jump. Why do we need to discuss about all this...move on and shoot more.
I think only 2-4% C/N users are using FF here, why do you think 50% of us would jump on to a FF Pentax?
i have not many pentax friends.. but i know you and most will go for 1...:bsmilie:

If Pentax can make a FF price close to the price of a K5, I'd be more interested :bsmilie:
Then you need to wait for two years to get a second hand one after Pentax FF comes out
any rumor of new 645D model coming? Someone is waiting to get his 645D, has been two years since it's launched rite
End of the day, main thing is the price, if Pentax makes it $5,000, I don't think many people will get. :bsmilie: I guess everyone would "want" a FF Pentax in some way... After all, more options is never going to be something that paranoid photographers can say no to. There are so many factors to be considered though.I will get a Pentax FF if they come out with one.
I admit its a want, not a need
Certainly know that Aps-c works well from a quality and size standpoint, esp, for travels.
As such, I'd juggle between the 2 formats, probably slowing down the cycle of camera body buying between the two

As of now, I am also not too sure if Pentax has a good enough line-up in the FF dept for lenses. Maybe the digital lenses could be used but as of now it is not clear... And thus far, most of the third-party UWA for FF are not that great, from what I remember.
