The K?D..What will it be?
I have said this a few times before but a digital LX would be nice, so we could have a few viewfinder options (still my main bugbear with DSLRs) and a move back to off the film/sensor metering. But for purely selfish reasons (i.e. financial) I’m in no rush having bought a K10 only three weeks ago...

The K?D..What will it be?
Haven't we done this here before....? :? Matt Not that I recall...Why? Matt's referring to a similar thread (see link above), called K10D Wish List, where we posted what we'd like to see on the next release camera. There were some interesting wishes... I actually wouldn't mind seeing a camera...

The K?D..What will it be?
A while back I saw a piece of software that combined position data from a GPS unit with the EXIF data. Don't now recall where I saw it. I think it just read the GPS track log and compared the time & date of the photograph and worked it out from there.

what I'd really like would be a digital back for my Auto 110, but that's even less likely :( Wow - what an idea! I have the 110 kit, an aps-c sized sensor would fit, but would there be room for any of the rest of the electronics? I guess if they can build a VGA web cam into a largish pencil, then t...

Hints & Tips
Just to add: SR is most effective over a short time period. Over time the small differences between the shake sensor and the sensor movement aggregate and produce a blurring of the image. That's why you don't use it for tripod shots (as a rule of thumb). Also, you have to be careful not to be ...

Hints & Tips
I have even left SR turned on when attached to a Newtonian telescope at prime focus, which I later figured out was stupid since the direction of motion of the camera had no resemblance to the direction of motion of the image(it was cold, and late, my brain wasn't working properly!). There was no vis...

My K10D images taken in Spain last week (May 27th 2007)
Pete, these are nice shots! Pitty that the sun is too bright in the first two, it might be worthwile shooting 1 or 2 EV darker and bringing the scene up in post processing. On the first one I think the ND grad could have been a bit higher up, looks like the grad is above the left rock. Now I rea...

My K10D images taken in Spain last week (May 27th 2007)
Ok, first thoughts... The foreground in the bay shot (yellow flowers and random cactus) looks a bit messy compared with the balance of the tree/sky/sea/forest combination which I like, so overall I suspect you'd have been better off crawling a bit further forward to get a bit more beach instead....

Nikon lens on K10D
It can't be done. First, even if you can find an adapter, it will not be possible to place the the lens close enough to the sensor to obtain focus on distant objects (with a wide-angle that's anything over about twenty feet). Second, you will lose all automation, including stopping the lens do...

Help Needed on Remote assistance
Thanks for posting the solution ;) (Thought for a moment it might have been a Vista issue - which is why I couldn't come back as I'm intentionally not using it.... yet!) Matt

I believe that there are 3 factors in play here 1. In my opinion there is in photography a certain snobbery when it comes down to what is classed as professional equipment (read into that equipment capable of producing high quality images), that manifests itself as a strong bias for anything Niko...

With so many people living their lives through celebrities and reality TV its not really surprising to see Pentax way down the chart. Now if the CSI's or heaven help us a Big Brother contestent was seen using a Pentax then I would be betting on a Top Ten place at least. In the end you have to as...

K10D PROBLEM
Just to be clear we are talking about the position of the AF-S, AF-C, M lever on the camera and not setting the mode dial to M for manual exposure? When manual focusing lenses are fitted to the K10D and the camera is set to AF then it will only fire if the lens is in focus, as indicated by the gr...

K10D PROBLEM
or the lens is perfectly focused, but the subject is off centre so the centre focus point can't see it. Since you say it was working before this seems unlikely, but it sounds as if the custom function which allows the use of the aperture ring is set to "disable". Worth a check?
