Can't remember
Have just recently move house and retired !! I joined my local camera Club and have learned alot already about the K7. Unfortunately I can't for the life of me remember how to view the Histogram in Live view, camera set to manual, so as to be able to alter exposure and see histogram changing . Any ...

Most wanted feature?
I don't really know enough to have a view on whether more AF points would be beneficial in practice, but for static subjects I've never had any issue with AF accuracy. It can take its time sometimes, but once it's there it seems to be pretty good. I'd certainly not want faster at the expense of ...

Most wanted feature?
As a K-7 user I would like:- 1/ a larger, brighter viewfinder 2/ better sensor; not necessarily more pixels but more detail. I haven't tested them side by side but I feel for detail my old 6Mp *istD at least equals if not betters my K-7 :-( 3/ faster processing 4/ more accurate focus 5/ better...

i voted other. i would like to see two new things. my biggest issue is having to wait for sr to kick in. i would like it to be near instantaneous. what i like to do when shooting at large apertures is to just hold the shutter down and let the camera fire exactly when the focus is completely naile...

Cheap K20D/K10D Focusing Screen
Isn't that just how it goes? But back then it would have cost you $35 due to the shipping ... Still SRS' price seems very competitive for the packaged accessory - lower than everyone else's.

Video on DSLR Camera,s
I was at a recent horticultural show and there was a display with over 200 varieties. Now I started photographing them, slow but then I tried video. Set the focus, and walked up the line. In Picasa I can rotate the video, freeze it, take a snapshot and read off the variety name. Bit of a gim...

Video on DSLR Camera,s
I have been using Pentax camera's from the time I first bought my ME-Super and love the brand. What I would like to know is why put video on a DSLR to the detriment of other more useful features. If I wanted video I would buy a video camera; I bought a still camera to take still pictures, so why...

Video on DSLR Camera,s
While I was taking some pics of the Vulcan landing yesterday I decided to give the video a go on the K-7 as I have only tried it once before. Have to say it was a total nightmare .. I cannot recommend hand holding the camera with a Bigma at its full 500mm length while the sun beats down on the re...

Japanese Festivals shot with the Pentax 645D
Just got back from a two week trip shooting some Japanese festivals with the 645D. I've started putting up images on my blog and Flickr, so far these are of the Akita Kanto Matsuri, but more will follow over the next few days. Akita Kanto Matsuri is a lantern festival in northern Japan. ...

Rumours or fact?
That sounds in line with the more credible rumours. But I spoke to mifsuds this morning and the guy said he was having trouble getting hold of k-7s so that might mean they are scaling back production, or it might mean nothing at all!

Rumours or fact?
But if it has video it can do it off course. it just need the firmware to do AF contrast so Pentax has to do it themselves If it were merely a question of firmware (read software), don’t you think Pentax would have got it working on the K7 by now, regardless of the sensor overheating issues? Yes, co...

I prefer manual focus anyways. Yah, and if Pentax could launch a new model where additionally an integral part of video mode operation were the use of a hand crank, no doubt they’d be on to a real winner :mrgreen:
