Photo i took today of model at focus on imaging 07 (tweaked)
Agreed that a lot of sharpening is overdone and looks it, sometimes leaving dreadful haloes around objects and giving a very artificial look. Having said that, sometimes I like to emulate that very sharp, grainy look that was popular amongst particularly east Eusropean photographers on the 1960s and...

I don't even believe that their firmware is different. Definitely different. Their user interface has a different "feel". However, that may be just a "skin". The Samsung also doesn't support the losslessly compressed PEF RAW mode (around 9Mb) and only supports the DNG (16Mb). ...

Like the Intel based Mac and Windows PC, it's the software/firmware that makes it work, ... True, altho' unlike the MAC /PC comparison under the casing the two cameras are identical ...together with the accessories, support, and availibility of expert advice. As far as accessories go, apart from...

Don't know what the score is on the Samsung battery grip, but the fact the Pentax one has a slot designed for the IR remote would swing it for me. Keeps it safe and at hand. As the camera has sensors front and back the IR remote works for all the situations I have needed it for so far.

Getting back to the original "Remote Control", if you have a hand-held computer running the "Palm" operating system, you can fire the shutter on your Pentax with a software add-on :lol: i'll send you the link if you need it.

Hi The Seculine only permits a half press to focus/set exposure when it is used with the wired connection. When using it wirelesly you need to ensure that the subject is already pre-focussed and ready as it simply fires the shutter. For me, if using it for my wildlife shots, where I needed perha...

Best action case for K10D??
Have a look at the LowePro slingshot bags. They're a snug fit (even into the smaller '100AW' I fit in a dl2, film body, 70-300, 28, 50, 18-55 and extension tubes :D ) Their design means they go from on your back to you front in a single slide.

Glad you like them Gwyn. Fish was a 60Lb sail fish (tagged and released alive) :D , big cats are 7th line down, not brilliant but you only get glimpses of them normally and they wouldn't turn towards us at all. Pics were from Tsavo East and Shimba Hills (the wodden building like treetops). Ot...

Pentax 1.3 Sensor...
I guess that the race will 'plateau' at 10-12 MP.... with more emphasis on image quality from each pixel They said that about 5MP, 6MP 8MP. In fact only 12 months back it seemed that all the camera reviewers were insisting that 6MP was enough for anyone and that anything above was doomed to failure...

Pentax 1.3 Sensor...
I wouldn't retire the 5x4 just yet. Even if the 645's sensor turns in large format performance it still won't give any of those very useful camera movements. There are various gadgets that allow you to create a "view camera" effect with a lens and a medium format (or even small-format) bac...

Good decision (to move back to Spain). Look me up if you ever get anywhere near Mazarron, Murcia. Good luck with the move and the fund raising exercise. BTW, what's the job, Guardia, Trafico, Local Policia? :D

Photography Review's Review of K10D
Places like dpreview and others generally test the camera's jpeg quality at whatever the factory default setting is. The K10D holds back on the in-camera sharpening, which allows the retention of detail. You do your own sharpening afterwards. The thing to do if you need sharp jpeg right out o...

A Letter from Larry and my Response
If I know that a client wants to do a 3x4 meter Subway/Metro Advert, I will probably use a Pentax 645 with a digital back. I did not know the 645 had a digital back. Learn something new every day....will still wait for the digital version of the 645, though....may buy that instead of the 10d....shop...

K10D let me down badly!
Oh Dear: I took my newly purchased K10D to the Photographic Club last night to take some pics of the presentations of trophies at the end of the competition year, announced that I have broken my vow and got a 'digital', took it out of the box, switched it on and NOTHING HAPPENED ! It would NOT swi...

You didn't nudge the playback or delete buttons by mistake did you? You won't get an image on the back screen unless you are in playback, or during the brief review mode after you have taken a shot. Did you format the SD card in the camera before you started taking pictures? Try pressing MENU ...
