A higher high-end for Pentax. Just a dream?
I am not sure about the others but the iso compared to D300(s)? :roll: A brief research around the net and one of them leads me to think otherwise Actually, when Amateur Photographer tested the K-7 and D300S back-to-back a couple of weeks ago they awarded higher marks to the Pentax in the "Image Q...

Stefan, I can see the results between the K20 and K7 - but remember that the K7 uses the same sensor with a new, much faster image processing engine. So I can perfectly understand why they have comparable results and the K20 be even a bit better. Regarding the Kx the answer is simple - 1 its...

Danny, I agree with everything you say. More than that; I would love to see Pentax competing with every aspect of the photographic market. But because this does not happen - as you say - Different tools for different jobs. - . What I argue is that - unless you are a professional photogra...

And back to the point - I struggle to see the insurmountable difficulties that a hobbyist like Amin, or Myself would find with a camera like the K7. Easy, for me it's focus speed. Too many missed shots because of slow autofocus. The trouble here is the unique perspective I've been privileged to h...

And Danny, to go back and use your 'moving' in a camera brand metaphore. the K7 is not a Smart - the K7 could be compared to a brand new Vauxhall Isignia estate - compared to a Mercedes or BMW estate. And yes, you would be able to use this car for moving - and only if you were a rather wealth...

:lol: when you read some comments here it makes you wonder how on earth they could make photos in the 1800, they could only dream about auto focus, high iso and other stuff we've today. But just for fun look back at the specs of what is considered the real first digital pro camera, the Nikon D1. ...

you can argue, like Danny does, that once the technology exists we should only aim at expecting more and more from a brand.... Not my viewpoint in this instance I'm afraid (specifically auto-focus speed) Instead of the 'once the technology exists we should only aim at expecting more and more fr...

Also, Danny, you're completely right in demanding the non-SDM focussing for increased speed. Its just stupid that Pentax wouldn't listen, and also, very few are complaining! Whilst I do have screw drive lenses that focus faster than SDM ones, that wasn't what I was asking for here. My DA* 60-250 foc...

it is very easy and simple to just implement it now and give it too us ...maybe it stuffs up the SDM motor when over-clocked? :? (Or some SDM motors at least) Perhaps that's why it's been scaled back. Who knows :( Matt

The 7D has the same weather sealing as the 5D MK2. Hmmmmm........ Taken from the The largest group of failures through were among the Canon 5D MKIIs. Of the 26 samples of this camera onboard, one quarter (six) failed at one time or another, and while three recovered, the other three never ...

Yeah the sensor looks good. Although the canon way isn't for me, I don't like their camera design. The Nikon D700 looks like a great camera for instance, have you seen the iso performance of that thing, although a bit expensive though. :? I wanted FF. Walked into RGB (Middlesbrough) and held the 5...

If you're happy to commit to that level of investment (is it really an investment? :wink:), then why not. Bottom line is I'm happy with Pentax but I also wouldn't rule out trying another manufacturer along side my Pentax gear in the future. Every single piece of equipment I have bought for my Pe...

Screw adapter for DSLR
There is no problem. The Pentax Adapter K is the best one to use as it allows infinity focus. Enjoy your screw thread lenses!

But I wonder if a lens with the same coloured patterns would come out, then I would certainly be a reconvert pentaxian :) Amin you should really look better at the links you post :wink: Does that mean welcome back Amin? :D There are only 100 units and I think you're to late now though :(

Stefan, I would need a DA* lens to go with that :), that wouldn't lure me back. I need the DA*50-135 lens in colour for that. That's the only one that I am holding on to it, and still haven't sold it. So give me a multicoloured version of it andyou have me back bugging you with coloured smoke and wa...
