turn off DFS with your K20D and K7

Perhaps so, but it will be able to map the noise and banding on a blank shot and then eliminate it from the original shot... if I'm correct in my understanding of how DFS works? OK the sensor will stay warm, there's no way round that, but it's probably got as warm as it's gonna get during the origin...

turn off DFS with your K20D and K7

si.. johnx lo que dices es correcto.. pero cuando utilizas el modo bull la reduccion de ruidos salta de igual manera.. ---All at your own risk--- Here is a little hack to turn off the DFS (dark frame Subtraction) with the camera's you aren't able to. http://pentaxda.deviantart.com/...

K-7vs K-5

Where did you read the K-7 is placed above the K-5? I got this in my mail box today saying that the K-5 replace the K-7. The compact new K-5 digital SLR is loaded with features for the passionate photographer. With a 7 FPS frame rate and enhanced focus performance, it's even faster than its pred...

K-7vs K-5

The 645D is a very different camera than the K5, no way you can compare those. About the focus speed, that also really depends on the lens. It's quite safe to say that the bigger the focus throw the slower the AF will be, but that doesn't have to always be the case though. Don't know if the SDM...

K5, was it worth the wait?

I'm getting too frustrated at the lack of a camera to wait for the prices to drop. I know about a week after I get mine the price will drop and there will be a cash back offer too, but that will happen whether I buy it asap or wait until January :lol:.

K5, was it worth the wait?

Are theye really going to sell any with a price higher than a Nikon D7000? The Nikon is probably not as good in many respects but it is apparently better spec'ed and has better perceived profile than a pentax. K5 seems to only be a k7 with some drip-feed 'improvements'....I suppose they have to ...

K5, was it worth the wait?

The vast majority of complaints for the K-7 were ISO and focus speed. General consensus was put a K-x sensor in the K-7 and it will be 'perfect' Now we have higher ISO performance than even the K-x, faster autofocus, more frames per second, 14bit RAW for higher IQ , 1080P video and other upgra...

K5, was it worth the wait?

yeah that link is slow, best to load it let it muddle through, once then play it back a second time and it'll play right... as far a pixels and video is concerned.... who cares about pixel counts if you got good noise control at high iso and can shoot lower res on demand if you want less pixel...

K5, was it worth the wait?

I used Liveview to focus for the first time ever this morning .. it was a lot slower than that I can tell you. Quite handy as long as its very dark outside and you have nothing reflecting off the screen. :roll:

K5, was it worth the wait?

One interesting thing I picked up from the specs is that it looks like there is a switchable choice in the style of AF. We will choose between maximum accuracy, which is probably what we have now, and maximum speed, where presumably the camera won't mess about being too fussy. The speed option ma...

K5, was it worth the wait?

Sorry, I do not understand this storm in a teapot about excellent noise performance of K-5! So far I have always red here the good noise performance of Canon and Nikon is just a useless marketing action, no more...:D:D:D Unfortunately it is the "big thing" at the moment. It might be to do with s...

K5, was it worth the wait?

Does the K-5 accept SDXC? From what I read, the K5 hardware is capable of supporting SDXC, but not until a later software update is made available. So, yes, and no. :-( Dunno the exact spec on SDXC, but Mac OS X is supposed to support it. So I do not believe it is directly related to NTFS. (I...

K5, was it worth the wait?

Mind you Vista 64 and Windows 7 64 are not true 64bit anyway, only paired 32bit :P:D this is getting very off-topic, but this is complete twaddle. Back on-topic, I can't see why anyone who shoots RAW and has a decent post-processor like Lightroom or Photoshop would ever use "Extended ISO". Stic...

all the tech stuff is facinating but surely Pentax could by now have fitted a moveable display screen . i am getting too old to lie down to take low level shots (it,s the getting back up). even my old fuji 9500 had this facility. i admit i bought the K7 blind ,quick look at a few reviews and that di...

K5, was it worth the wait?

Aah right, I must have missed thst, I've watched the video a couple of times and the AF seems to overshoot then track back before locking on. Considering the subject and lighting my K20D with DA*16-50 would have nailed it perfect, but not sure about LV because I never use it. I was not that impresse...

K5, was it worth the wait?

Interesting answers so far. I only ask because I was wondering about a K7, then saw the K5 spec sheet. The price for the K5 seems high, even by Pentax standards, and as such I thought would deter people. Nobody interested in a K7 at the reduced price it'll hit then? Nope. not at all. I h...
