K20d Off switch.
Is it? I had always assumed that the on/off switch was just that: that it disconnected the battery from the camera. That was until this evening when I had reason to look at the card. As I pushed it back in, the disc access light lit up. I kicked myself for pulling the card out with the switch ...

K20d Off switch.
There are several ways that power could be applied to back up systems, but without asking Pentax you'll never know. My guess is switching off still leaves the camera in reduced state of "power down" there will be an extremely small amount of power used to maintain the clock functions, possibly ev...

K20d Off switch.
But there must be a clock battery of some sort. G I have an "Atmos" clock, it keeps almost perfect time without any electrical power, or anybody winding it up. It is however larger than several K20s, so probably not the answer to above. Davex. This can be easily be verified also, all it takes ...

K20d Off switch.
DSLR's will use a small amount of power when the switch is in the off position. The istD has a coin cell for clock back-up. In most cases, manufacturers use "Super caps" these are low voltage very high capcitance capacitors. ICE (in car entertainment) head systems also use them for station memory/se...

Pentax K-x
It's announced in the US, . They kept this quiet, the first I knew about it was Yesterday! Knew about it about 10 days back ... and at that time the intention to announce in October, but on Monday heard it was being pulled forward.

Pentax K-x
I can't see them reviving old bodies really. Using the K-m for the K-x in the same way that the K10D was used for the K20D you can get away with but stepping back further would send the wrong signs to potential new Pentax users (I think).

Pentax K-x
Going back to the Dawn of Time, many box cameras were made in alternative colours. We only became stuffy about colours much later! :wink:

Pentax K-x
The suggested RRP from Pentax for the Pentax K-m DSLR is £399 including the 18-55mm DA-L lens or £499 for a two lens kit which includes both new lenses, the 18-55mm and 50-200mm DA-L lenses This was on the press release that I found when I was looking to buy my K-m. They then offer=d a £30 cash ...

Pentax K-x
Cash back, now when's that going to be linked to the K-x? I got cash back on my K200d, it took the sting out of buying a new camera. £100 seems a logical start on the new model, seeing the list price is so high. Hefty, if I was to buy one I'd certainly look at the blue one. It would make it...

Pentax K-x
Hmmn, pricewise the k-m was on offer earlier this year at Currys for 269 pounds including both kit lenses and with the Pentax 50-pound cash back on top, making the package a killer deal imho. If the k-x approaches anything like this price I'll be getting one. It sounds an excellent camera.

Pentax K-x
Elva, I had the same thought as You and I sort of expected that to be available when I first heard about Pentax's colour stunt. A camo model would also confirm the outdoor focus better than pink :lol:. I wonder how many non-black Pentax will sell?

Pentax K-x
Nice little camera if it lives up to the specs. Same old story though, $650 in the US £599 here.........:evil: Yes these discrepancies that don't follow the exchange rate and bias against the UK have been going on for decades.When I was into Photogra[phy back in the 1980s I was lucky enough to live...

K-x - "make it or break it" for Pentax
Well, the K-x is based on the same body design as the K-m, which isn't weather-resistant either. To add weather sealing to this body would require a lot of re-engineering and probably didn't fit in with their time/cost plan for the K-x release. To many this would appear to be an apparent step ba...

K-x - "make it or break it" for Pentax
The K-x seems an excellently spec'd mid/entry level camera with (hopefully) excellent high ISO and IQ performance. :D The omissions of WS, top LCD and focus point confirmation are obvious limitations of the K-m body on which it is based. I suspect that many users would not even notice the lack of...

K-x - "make it or break it" for Pentax
If the sensor provides the expected improved noise performance (at both low and high ISO's), I would seriously consider one for that alone. I was somewhat disappointed that the K7 is no better than the K-20D in that area. Trouble is that as a prospective K-7 buyer I am going to be reluctant to p...

K-x - "make it or break it" for Pentax
Unfortunately there are a few Chicken Littles around who always think the sky is falling and Pentax are going under. Yes, have seen that on certain other forums as well, with some members actually seeming quite happy if that were to happen. I am not one of them inspite of my sometimes outspoken vie...

K-x - "make it or break it" for Pentax
...who knows I might come back to Pentax for digital in the future when they improve their higher end offerings? Nothing is static or carved in stone, which is another reason to be nice to people who decide to abscond or defect as it could be temporary :):):):) While I was not actually referring to ...
