K7D announced in US?
I bought mine (a while back) primarily for the battery capacity, the improved handling balance is a bonus :)

K7D announced in US?
Who of you like the new design? Without in any way wishing to impugn the integrity of Unlocker in posting those snaps I am surprised that everybody appears to be taking them as gospel truth. Alarm bells rang when I saw what to me is clearly a K10 kit lens stuck on the front, pretty much identical...

K7D announced in US?
Shaky, you're pulling my words out of line there, it was about the body. On numerous offical Pentax sites you can see large part of the camera and they are very consisten what is being showed here. Here is one on pentax.jp don't think they will be lying. About the lens, it looks really well f...

K7D announced in US?
I don't mind not having SDM, it will keep the cost down for the lens and focus isn't much faster to begin with only alot more silent, is that worth making the lens more expensive? Wouldn't screw drive be rather loud for the inbuilt microphone (if it does actually have video).

K7D announced in US?
When comparing the new kit lens with the DA17-70 I'm missing something on the front on it, if it would be SDM that is. The DA17-70 has the words SDM at the back of his name and so does all the other lenses that have SDM so no SDM for the kit lens it seems.

More Drivel? First report of photographer handling a K-7 As anticipated by Asahiflex, here is a report from Mr. Smith (name changed by editor), a photographer handling a real K-7. I believe it is a first of its kind. Mr. Smith prefers to remain anonymous. Mr. Smith has handled a K-7 but may no...

K7D announced in US?
I've long been a believer in waiting for version 2.0 on anything...but as I see it, this is a revision with an existing sensor, so still image quality has got to be good..the video features...I got top quality video cameras already... what this cam brings to the table is the ability to use f1.4, fi...

K7D announced in US?
I've long been a believer in waiting for version 2.0 on anything... It could be argued that The K10D and K20D's were versions 1 and 2, and this could be version 3. :lol: I'm sure it would be a fine camera all i'm worried about with new products are the faults with production, with the first batch th...

K7D announced in US?
now wouldn't it be sweet if you pressed the menu button, taped the function on the lcd, like say sr to turn on/off, then hit the ok button to confirm.... Yes indeed some P&S already have that. With some of them you can click on the screen were you want to focus on and it simply does that, quite nee...

Pentax K-M
Sorry for the long reply, but this should help GETTING STARTED - configuring the camera: The camera won't allow you to take pictures with manual lenses until you configure it properly. Press the "menu" button, go right until you see the "Custom Setting" menu, and then go down a few menu pages...

K20D rear LCD cover or replacement screen?
I bought one for my GX-20. I didn't like it much so took it off and chucked it after 10 minutes. It didn't fit brilliantly on the GX-20, not sure if the back of the K20D is slightly different shape? I have one of those cheapo ones on my K10D, the type where you cut out the shape required and ...

K20D rear LCD cover or replacement screen?
Have a look at which is a previous thread on this from 14 months back. In that I said that I had just bought Giottos screen protectors for my K10D and K20D, and which ones I bought (from Warehouse Express). Measure the edge to edge size of the LCD not the display size to ensure you get the scre...

Bird Photographers - How do you handle the noise?
so tell me, what did the raw file look like? here's the thing.. noise gets amplified if your image (ie a dark bird against a light sky) starts off underexposed, then gets alot of sharpening (like what one might be tempted to do on a fine feathered bird)..... shoot to the right of the histogram,...

Anywhere i can upload Raw File to?
Quick look - pretty excellent considering the conditions! :shock: My initial thoughts: 1. High ISO has produced some noise. But I know Silkypix will do a good job of it. 2. There's limited DoF. You may want to do a focus check and adjust 3. Could be some motion blur in the bird. At 400mm and 1...

also to me the peanuts behind are sharper, maybe a focus adjustment is needed,:wink:

I would agree with Scott there does seem to be a little back focus :)

@ Scott - What PP did you use m8? Also i have to agree with you both on the Focus. I thought it was just me but i have noticed it in a few pictures.

Same picture and more or less the same PP. One slight difference though. Which would you say is best?
