I think that this is one case where the bigger sensor really does make a noticeable difference. However, I'm not going to be trading in my K-5 in the foreseeable future. The K-5 does really perform *well enough*. While it wasn't the toughest light that I've photographed dancers in, it certainly wasn't trivial, and the K-5 certainly performed up to the task. With about a 2-3 year lag in performance between APS and 24x36 sensors, by the time I saved up $3,000 for a full frame body, I'd be able to get an APS camera with that performance for half the cost. > >> My smaller set is at: >> http://red4est.com/lrc/books/sfbx_book_small_01.pdf >> >> higher resolution pdf (60M vs 8M) >> http://red4est.com/lrc/books/sfbx_book_proto_01.pdf > > I looked at your photos at flickr. You seem to be making tighter compositions. Thanks. To be honest, that probably has a lot to do, again, with the post processing. Josh was shooting a lot with his 50/1.4 and I was using my 31/1.8, so about the same angle of view. I just did a lot of cropping in post processing. > Other than that, both photographers did a great job in depicting the event > and in passing the fun and joy of the participants. Thanks.
