K-70 test images by Imaging Resource now posted for their comparometer- superb results!

<p>Their complete review of the K-70 is yet to come. The images done for the comparometer reveal truly remarkable performance for low noise and excellent detail! I viewed the house image (where detail was excellent) and the still-life mage, clicking to get the big blowups, and compared it with some other current Pentax APS-C models, and also with the K-5IIs. I viewed and compared the still-life image at ISO settings between 800- 12,800. The K-70 was waayy better than the K-3 in the higher ISO range over 1600, with much lower noise in areas of comparable degree of shadow, while preserving superior detail, such as in the figure on the HELLAS wine bottle. The closest other was the K-5IIs, where the KS2 did a little better job of noise suppression over the K-5IIs, but the KS2 did not preserve fine detail quite as well as the K-5IIs did which was excellent. The K-70 was easily above all in both respects except the K-1, where even against the might of this excellent FF beast it held up quite well! Even at ISO 25,600 it appears to deliver a usable image! I didn't try going higher. </p>

<p>Is this a non-complete review?... http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/pentax-k70/pentax-k70A.HTM</p>

<p>In the comment section there's an ISO 12,800 comparison which the K-70 blows the competition out of the water.</p>

<p>Right, Tim! This is a non-complete review. It is a first-impressions review. Their complete test review will appear at a later date. The ISO 12,800 comparison given here certainly is impressive! It substantiates what I've seen as well in their comparometer test shots. </p>
