K7 HDR hypothetical question
I guess the difference is that the HDR feature does not require any 'manipulation' to boost the image after capture. Therefore there is no increased noise or loss of detail. The three shots can also give you more latitude than RAW would have given you - you can pull back detail from images up to...

K7 HDR hypothetical question
I'm not sure if it's do-able or if it's currently down to computational power in bodies or whatever but instead of taking 3 seperate shots with the shutter closing each time couldn't 3 seperate exposures be computed from one shutter actuation. Follow me if you can & I'll keep the figures simple so y...

Just picked up my K7 today!
Now, you can find the K-7 just about everywhere in Canada, especially if you pre-ordered it. That's it, unless you live in Québec. The reason is, all Pentax gear coming in Canada transit with the stock shipped in the U.S.A., and comes only with English language manuals/documents. Unfortunately, Q...

Comparing Cameras
In perfect light, with an excellent lens, shooting RAW then you'll find even the *ist-D produces stunning shots (and that's at 6mp). Even for 18x12" prints the difference can be difficult to tell. Between the K10D and K20D at ISO100 there is some difference, but it's not massive. However, the K20...

To grip or not to grip
Grip every time for me too! I have large hands, so handling the camera with the grip is ergonomically brilliant for me. Then there's the extra battery power available with the flip of a switch - but the most important feature aside from handling is the spare SD card holder! A few times before hav...

To grip or not to grip
I wax and wane about the grip. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't. I was used to using an ME Super so the size isn't an issue, the K10D already feels like a monster even without the grip. I was also so used to holding the camera vertically with my hand above that I still do that and then thin...

To grip or not to grip
See to me the K20 is to small even with the grip. I can't use the camera without it as it just doesn't feel right especially with a big lens on it. I will have a play with the K-7 and at least give it a go, but I am hoping that the added grip makes a difference. It doesn't bode well for me when I...

To grip or not to grip
Depends what I am shooting. For live music & festivals definitely with the grip. Balances out the camera when using 50-135mm. First proper use with it was at Glastonbury couple of weeks ago, shot approx 1100 shots before batteries needed changing, I am sure the batteries last longer with the grip...

Best way to clean dust off the K20d focussing screen?
I would recommend the Arctic Butterfly but would be very careful. The likelihood is that the dust spec(s) are on the underside of your focus screen. As everyone as pointed out however if they are minor I would leave them as they don't affect your images.

What people are failing to grasp is that Alkaline cells have a slightly higher energy density than Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) cells and should a similar amount of time. It is because of storage that the cells fail to initially perform and the degradation in performance as they discharge. ...

I've never yet found a Curry's offer on Pentax/Samsung lenses to be in stock anywhere. They did have the DFA 100mm macro a few weeks back at a very good price. There were at least 3 available close to me in Leicestershire. I checked out the Samsung 12-24mm this morning and there are none showing ...

K7 Review Photo Monthly
You beet me to posting on this. I generally found I liked Will Cheung as he did actually use a Pentax in the extended test (using one for about a year) they ran. Also he was a fan of the DA*200. This review is very poorly crafted though and contain some of the worst review photos I have ever se...
