I've got a K-7 to play with for 2 weeks!!
I hate to add to your to do list but I am very interested in how much adjustment the sensor shift gives you. I am mainly thinking about macro work where getting the tripod in exactly the right spot can be a pain. Thanks in advance! Kris. Haven't had a proper play with that yet Kris, but from ...

I've got a K-7 to play with for 2 weeks!!
You're both right, and they were points I always thought of but either never said them or got them across very well. A few other points:- We all have DSLR's instead of P&S cameras because of the control and creativity it gives us, well... we now have that with video too, something camcorders c...

I've got a K-7 to play with for 2 weeks!!
The wait between handing this camera back and getting my own will actually be very annoying, I really just don't want to go back to my K20 anymore, let alone even pick up a K10, it has affected me that much, and I loved both of those cameras. Funny thing just happened on the way to the 'forum': I...

I've got a K-7 to play with for 2 weeks!!
Rees, I am a long term LX user and lover (since 1981) and in my opinion it is still the best 35mm camera ever made by any manufacturer for a whole host of reasons. I have held off buying a DSLR because I wanted the technology to mature a little and also because there wasn't any real DSLR equival...

Here's a suggestion for the next person to complain about video. Register your objection by not buying the camera. In a couple of years you will not find a camera of any sort which does not have a video mode. Even if it is a gimmick it will raise the Pentax profile, which means more people may ...

I've got a K-7 to play with for 2 weeks!!
I am amazed by the passions which are being aroused by this video feature. I wonder if Pentax will release a K7 with no video in the 'SP500 Spotmatic' way! (If you know the company's history you will know what I mean). I haven't held a K7 yet, but if I look at my K10 I cannot believe that an ex...

I've got a K-7 to play with for 2 weeks!!
There a lot of features in any camera that a lot of people will think they will never use. Case in point, Sunday at Lacock Abbey, Steve brought along his 135-600m, tried to focus with the K-7 and said, you do it, it's adjusted for your eyes. So I just said, use the live view then, urgh he said, t...

I've got a K-7 to play with for 2 weeks!!
Having seen the K7 at Lacock and looked at both live view and video, neither of which were high on my wish list, I'm changed my mind. Live view, with a long lens (like my SMC K 135-600) on a tripod is a stunning combo and makes using the lens sooooo much more fun. Can't imagine squinting through ...

Did Pentax ever give any indication of how they are going to take this camera back. That's a video I would like to see. I'm sure it will be on News at 10! :shock:

K-9 did feature in one of the new Dr Who episodes which I saw when I was stateside. Ah, but the real question is... How quickly did he lock focus?

Unfortunately I have to hand the camera back tomorrow. :cry: :cry: If there is anything I've missed that you would like to know, get the questions in now and I will try and get any other tests in tonight. I hope you get the impression that I do actually quite like the K-7, and that if you are...

I've got a K-7 to play with for 2 weeks!!
Fewer features means the camera's ergonomics can be designed around them, instead of stuff that is excess to requirement. Think of a Leica rangefinder. It is easier to use, even in extreme situations, since controls are directly coupled to functions and modality banished. I would love to see Pentax ...

Extended Bracketing with K20D
Thanks. I thought likewise, if using RAW, than bracketing is somewhat redundant, as all the adjustments can be done later. Wanted to confirm my idea, as I am pretty new to Pentax DSLR. I am following a gardens competition judge next weekend, weather permitting, to take pics of the participating ...

K20d without the Pentax software?
sounds right. I have been folowing another which looks like it will go for £450+ in a few hours. To be honest, unless there is a significant saving I would rather pay SRS £519 and get all the protection and warranty from a proper shop. Saving just £50-70 or so over what you can buy new with...

K20d without the Pentax software?
Maybe now it the time to buy up their stock and sell it off on eBay in a few months and double your money Well I would just go back to buying from the USA, it was half the price before the exchange rates going through the floor and after the rises will be again.

Macro help please
I personally use the Sigma EX 105mm and have never had any problems with it Yes dedicated macros are relatively expensive, but you a paying for the quality, this one is from SRS Like John states above, these lenses come up in the forums and ebay quite often. I bought mine from ebay for just und...
