Is the K7 already flawed?
For sure. Except Pentax have said they want to enter this market. I've just read this month's 'Photographer Monthly'comparison between the K7, 50D and D300. Compared to the other two the K7 falls short on both image quality and colour rendition/contrast. Now, if I was a newcomer wanting to choose be...

Is the K7 already flawed?
To be honest Jeanette, there is a lot of camera shake going on in your shot, and I suspect you have used a higher ISO... so if you set out to show the similarity between your lens and a faster Canon version, you haven't quite succeeded :( In better light, or with better camera support, there migh...

Is the K7 already flawed?
Someone also wanted a comparision between a shot taken with a Canon and a Pentax. Well I can provide you with that as well. Please bear in mind that Peter is a professional and I am not. Peter will also have performed more pp on his image while I have only sharpened and cropped mine. I have blown my...

Is the K7 already flawed?
Pentaxophile, Thanks for that. I only have Corel Paint Shop Pro :cry: I have found the Layers menu option but not managed to do anything with it. I have said before I am not very knowledgable when it comes to pp and I have to try and take the best possible shot I can as I can't improve it that mu...

Is the K7 already flawed?
Greytop, Pentaxophile and MikeP and all who have provided advise, Thanks to you all for showing what could be achieved. I think I should give the tread back to those wishing to continue their debate about whether the K-7 is already flawed. As I don't have one I can't say :D

Is the K7 already flawed?
here's my edit ...time restraints prevented a proper cut-out and a RAW file gives more to work with, but I assure you, your firneds image had some post work to it as well...better files from the camera = easier work in post, so proper focus, exposure etc in camera is worth learning! also note...

K20 D or GX20
Apart from the different name are there any worthwile differences between the Pentax and Samsung bodies? I had thought of trading up by exchanging my K10 D but the price hike of the K20 D has ended that idea. The part exchange on the K10 makes me want to keep it. Cedric I would keep the K10D, as ...

K20 D or GX20
Ben, I have decided to keep the K10 as a spare body. Might graft it to a `scope. I bought a K20, very nice piece of kit the focus is so much sharper than the K10. Lemmy, you got a good deal with the GX20, I`m sure you did the right thing too. Cedric

K7 Returned Twice
The Pentax Gods are not smiling on me :( I got one of the first batch and the the SR didn't work at all (nor the horizon correction, which I suspect is related). I got a replacement (great service once again from SRS :)), but with this one manual focus was way off. This was particularly noti...

K7 Returned Twice
MF'ing until the viewfinder image did look sharp resulted in an OOF picture. Has anyone else had similar experiences? Yes because I had the diopter not right adjusted :!: Throw the lens out of focus and point it at a wall or something so that you don't see anything distracting in the screen,...

K7 Returned Twice
I had adjusted the diopter, otherwise nothing would look in focus :wink: The point I was making (obviously badly :oops:) was that the MF focus point did not agree with the AF focus point. My K20d (& *istD) are fine in this regard. I wonder if Pentax are having trouble calibrating the new 100%...

Coming back to Pentax
Welcome back melness. I'd look for a used K20D at a good price. One issue with modern DSLR's is AF accuracy, or more accurately, AF inconsistency with different lenses. The K20D can hold individual settings for up to 20 lenses. That option is available on the K10D, but there is only one adj...

Coming back to Pentax
Just keep looking in the Classified Ads forum, as people upgrade to the K-7 some secondhand K20/K10D are bound to appear there. Also SRS are carrying secondhand K20 bodies as well (it's advertised on their web shop) although chances are you'll be able to buy one privately for less. Oh, and appare...
