I won't "spoil" the results this time! :-) And also as the original author don't make any comment of his neither. Just go download and measurbate yourself and draw up your own (same or different) conclusions!

P.S. This is the 500th Post at my Blog. Since my Blog was launched 3 years and some months ago, my posts have been read for nearly 1.5 million times up till now. Thank you for reading and your continuous support! :-)

ISO1000 of 645D is not worse than 5D Mark II. Surprise? :)
And ISO1600 is good too (in previous series).

As for K-7 - really good series of samples.

I admit that many of the K-7 samples are nice, except for the strange green colour rendition, still.

Again, I can't see the images in full size, just the ones from Canon. The others gives me an error int he links :/

I yet encountered no error. So, what's the cause of your problems actually? :-o Your PC just won't let you view any Pentax pictures?! ;-)

No idea why it happens. I got it some time ago on some test pictures at Photozone, but then they were linked wrong and Klaus fixed it so it worked. I got the exact same message then as I did now.

I can see some K-7 pictures further down on the page, and it happens in both Firefox and IE.

Edit: I just installed this comment system on my own blog, so I'm logged in there I guess, that's why it's not the same name as before (I am Alexander Evensen still though :P).

Too bad to hear that, maybe you can try another computer or even another ISP (if you have) to see if it works again.

As for who you are, I know, my old friend! :-)

I tested it with Firefox on my neighbours PC, and it worked. Very strange..

I can say that 645D and K-7 are the gems of digital photo.

I still don't like very much those photos from the 645D actually. Resolution wise, it wins all. But the colours could look dull and some pictures are darker. As for the high ISO shots, the colours are washed out and the contrast becomes very low.

Colours are superb. It's KODAK, not Canon CMOS. 645D is cooler, 5D Mk II is warmer. Tastes differ.
Darker is better than over-exposed. Anyway, ISO1000 of 645D has very good work of exposure. 5D Mk II is worse, darker in dark parts.
And resolution...39.5 MP vs 21 MP...It's physics.

JPEG colours are easy to tweak. Nothing to complain.

As for high ISO - I see that Canon lies with colours - more saturated and more hue. It's a question of JPEG settings.:) Add contrast to 645D if you want and relax.
The real images are close to 645D's photos. IMO. Old paint of old wood temple is not such saturated...^)))

Wow, 645 really shines in those samples! Looking at a comparison of processed RAW files from the three would be even more useful.
