New Pentax camera?
Wireless, :x not sure about that just gone back to a wired network at home as it seems impossible to keep others out of the system even if they don't want to be there, imagine the copyright problems someone could have published your work before you got home :mrgreen:

New Pentax camera?
I would have bought the K20D a long time ago if the Liveview had been better with a tiltable screen. What I am after is something like the Canon 40D where you can zoom in 100% and use it as a focus aid for macro. That is what I would like - my friend has the C***n and uses the live view feature mos...

New Pentax camera?
I have to agree with Mhuni. I find the Live View very useful as well - for long distance shots on a tripod when I want to make very sure the point of intrest is in correct focus I use the 4x and 8x digital zoom. Also for macro work, I'm currently experimenting with a manual 55mm f1.7 with 3 ex...

New Pentax camera?
To go back to the Pentaprism, they have make a new patent in March 2008 for a new desgin. As you can see the design is much flatter and I was hoping they would use it in the 645D since that would make quite a difference but the design of the 645D still looks the same as it always did :( Maybe...

@stefan That design looks interesting, they use a seperate lens between the focus screen and the prism. It is a 4 sided prism now if I see it correctly. This will save a lot of space and weight. I just hope that the light loss is as low or even lower then with a pentaprism. If it's worse then a...

I would say - no EVF, just LCD. This is what most digicam users expect to happen, and allows you to zoom for manual focus (I've even managed manual focus on the K20D live view when zoomed :shock:). I could see that an LCD-only dSLR could be made to work... ok it's not the same as pentaprism, but I ...

@Don If EVF's are going to replace optical viewfinders then they would have to get the resolution of the LCD screens a lot higher to be able to use manual focus.

New Pentax camera?
I'm expecting a hybrid evf/pentraprism where a Mattescreen gets replaced/overlayed with an lcd (possibly transparent) display for eyelevel viewing, and an lcd on the back of the camera as well.... and eventually evf viewers replacing pentaprisms altoghether If LCD would provide only information an...

New Pentax camera?
It was back in September 2007 that Pentax signed an agreement with InvenSense Gyroscopes to provide image stabilization technology for the Optio A30 and future cameras. http://tinyurl.com/cqcgls Invensense provided the stabilization on the 'heli-cam' used in the BBC's Planet Earth series. I...

It would probably mean that you could only make ONE copy of each photograph and Video and couldn't edit them. You could probably sharpen them slightly as long as you download a 350MB runtime library first. MS and any copy protection schemes in general are a total pain in the ass. I have several Sony...

To get back on "TOPIC", I hope all you K20D owners are going to sell on your 20's to the few of us that will never be able to afford the K7D, with all that it offers, ( I hear that it it comes with internal 1000mm lens compensation, just dial in'1000mm' and you get Hubble quality ????

SLR, EVF, point of terminology
Same as when someone overtakes you on the road and indicates to come back in. What they think that youthink they are just going to stay out their and drive into oncoming vehicles. Sorry Off Topic rant over with now. :)

K10D/K20D firmware compatability
The K10D and K20D are near dead-ringers in physical appearance, and very similar in functions. But, yes, the K20D has features that are lacking in the K10D. I suspect many of them are improvements to the firmware, but can't help wondering ..... is it possible to install the K20D firmware in a K10D...

K10D/K20D firmware compatability
I read the latest firmware update made the SR better as in as good as the K10D but not sure if it actually improved.? The only thing I would like to see that would actually be possible is the ability to set back/front focus on induvidual lenses.

K10D/K20D firmware compatability
Pentax service can remap for you while you wait - I had it done in Hamburg a couple of years back on my K10D. Took 5 minutes. Bret

New Pentax in May?
You mean this one Yves? I found different one, showing more of the back of the camera. It was on an Asian site. It was blurred like the one you are showing. When I tried to copy the address, I got an error code.

The flatter front together with the narrower left side does look something like this one which was shown back in 2007. Maybe the designed is inspired a little from this special camera which looks absolutely great to me...

Got My Bag Woot
That is very similar to my Lowepro. You wont regret it. Having it on your back is much more comfortable than a side slung bag. You also have room for sandwiches and a light anorak !
