Noise levels/fringing with K10
I worried about noise levels with my K10d at 400 and higher ISO, especially in darker areas of the picture that I lighten in PS. I take many pictures in museums and Cathedrals where higher ISO is essential as I don't use a tripod. I now shoot exclusively in RAW whereas I used to shoot mainly in JP...

Cash back on k20d...
Just wondering how long it normally takes for the cash to eventually be back in my account after sending the forms and receipts back to Pentax. Don't want to harass the good folks at Pentax... Just wondering really.

It's been covered somewhere already, but 4 weeks or so seems about average.

Cash back on k20d...
I have sent mine just after christmas ,so far not shown in my account:? Hi Vikram, I received both my cashbacks after only about 3 weeks, but I suspect there is a large number of claims waiting to be procesed, as it's getting near the expiry date. Cheques seem to get posted far quicker than tr...

Cash back on k20d...
My transfer into my bank took about 3 or 4 weeks. If you give Pentax a ring there is a dept. that can check the progress for you.

Help with decisions :)
i found my friends k10d to have more iso noise than the k200d, starting at iso 400, but i cant say that they are all like that, the k200d is great up to iso 1100 and then it gets abit noisey after that but well useable at iso 1600. I think it's because the K200d applies more noise redution then the ...

Yeah your probably right on the A3 ( although I've seen the lens alone go for 30-40 on ebay ). That cash back makes the 200D and 20D both very tempting.

Help with decisions :)
Well just contacted a local store who also do part exchange and after exchange/cash back they'll do me a K200D in silver with kit lens for £125. Sadly they're out of 20D's but I'm leaning towards the convenience of the 200D with it's AA batteries anyway.

Does anyone use silkypics?
How good is the Pentax Remote Assistant software that comes with the K20D. I use it for the K10D. I would assume the only difference is the added camera option. I have not read of any additional features for the version that comes with the K20D. In general I love it for studio work, where I can ...

An appeal.
Sounds like you were had by the dreaded snipers. You can get your own back by adopting similar tactics. Google for "ebay sniper software" and go grab yourself a bargain or two :twisted: Personally, I think Fleabay should put in place technology to stop them, but they'd need to give a damn.

An appeal.
I'm in agreement with John, the istD is getting a bit long in the tooth and despite it being a superb camera there are probably better bargains to be had with a used K10D, I wrestled with the idea of selling my own but realised I would get very little of what I paid for it back. In the end I deci...

An appeal.
It amazes me how many people will only sell in the UK though, especially with the pound at rock bottom ... it is about 30% down against the $ and € at the moment .. all you need is a European and Yank to show an interest and they could be quids in. It's only interesting for EU countries I thin...

An appeal.
I have sold to all over the world, when i had collectors cameras even South America with no problems at all, apart from one attempted scammer. Some postal systems in Europe are slow but they get there in the end. Just give a good service and don't "over state" an item and every one is happy, when ...

What does this mean?
browsing around I found this comment regarding a K10d, what does this mean? "i have performed Auto Focus correction by myself, no back or front focus since then" Anybody any ideas? Pete

What does this mean?
There is a debug (service) menu in the camera which allows you adjust the autofocus to correct any back or front focus issues. If you update to the latest firmware (1.3 i think) , the debug menu is no longer available, although apparently it can be restored through a 3rd party hack.

What does this mean?
The K10D on latest firmware has a debug mode which can be enabled by the use of a USB cable and some software. Once enabled, focussing can be adjusted to eliminate back or front focussing problems. Earlier firmware versions were able to enable this mode using a power on key sequence. The K20D ...

What does this mean?
Sorry to sound a bit thick but what do you mean when you refer to back or front focussing problems? Pete

What does this mean?
When using auto focus, a lens might lock on to a point that is slightly in front of your intended focus point and potentially ruining the image. That's called front focussing. Can you guess what happens in back focussing? :D There are plenty of charts available, and references to them elsewher...

K20D...honest appraisal from users please...
Hi, I am a long term Contax film user and want to go much more digital, I am considering the K20D & the Olympus E-3. Could K20D users please give the honest pluses AND minuses of the camera. And some specific questions: 1. How many shots from a battery do you get typically? 2. How do you c...
