New firmware K-5 coming this month
Morning Stefan Im not realy up to speed with all this technology. My question is why cant manufactuers just make sure there cameras are equiped with these updates at the point of manufacture bearing in mind the K5 has only been on the market a few weeks at most.So there would not be the need for peo...

New firmware K-5 coming this month
we're forever updating the software we put out onto the market. Lots of reasons: - Marketing wanted a date set - we've tested like crazy but there's some strange but common combination we screw up with - new improvements should be implemented - mild changes to avoid incompatibilities whi...

New firmware K-5 coming this month
Going back to beta test. Adobe is the best with usually releasing the beta test version of their newly developed Lightroom versions and using thousands of people as free and voluntary beta testers.

K5 and Silkypix
Thanks for those suggestions. I'm away for the weekend, but when I get back I'll try downloading another RAW converter that'll view DNGs and give that a go. Jonathan

K5 and Silkypix
Somebody recommended Irfanview on here while back it works great. Lightroom 3 opens K-5 DNGs btw

Somebody recommended Irfanview on here while back it works great. Lightroom 3 opens K-5 DNGs btw Lightroom should - DNG is an Adobe product! A quick download of Irfanview will show whether the files are corrupted or not. It takes up hardly any room and is a great free program imho.

So how good is the K-5 sensor
Not sure a remote release will do extended exposures, never used one :? Mike Hi Mike, yes it will - used IR remote with my Kx. It can also be set so that the first press opens the shutter and the second closes it. Very nice for single long exposures, not much use for shot stacking though. Yo...

So how good is the K-5 sensor
My K5 is now on order from SRS. Due to arrive tomorrow. One K10 stays with me, the other goes to SRS in part-ex. Oddly its cheaper to buy the K5 with kit lens than body only due to the better cash back deal from Pentax if you buy body+lens. David

So how good is the K-5 sensor
Seems to be a lot of chatter about sensors? Years ago the same argument was on film brand. What changed? I tend to think that the sensor does not make the final image. It does for low light shooting if one sensor is noisy as hell and another is clean. :) I believe that my K10D is lower nois...

So how good is the K-5 sensor
I hate to say this but I think the Nikon images are a tad better, there may be more noise but there is also more detail, especially evident in the very high ISO shots. But who really cares? god help us if we become a bunch of pixel peepers. My K5 is fuinctioning quite well enough for my present ...

So how good is the K-5 sensor
28, 50, 70 mm versions of old lens designs now in all plastic bodies like the 35mm 2.4.... wr versions of the ltds..... and a 600 mm f5.6 wr.... no need to re-invent the wheel, when you can slip some new tires on your old rims.... the reason I speculate on the 600 is this.... somebody co...

J R Review of KR
I haven't bought the K-r yet, I was sent a loan camera to review, and it sadly had to go back after a couple of days, prised from my fingers.... Until I get a chance to look at the K5 in detail I can't really comment. However, as I like the *istDS design more than the K10D/K20D design and as ...

Third Party Batteries for K5
I asked this same question about 6 weeks ago and had very similar advice that's been posted above. To boost my power needs, I bought a 3rd Pentax one and also picked up 2 of the £6.99 jobbies off ebay with free postage. I've not noticed any difference at all between the Pentax and the cheapies, alth...

Pentax K-5 pros/cons
Pros: Low light: This is a camera that takes great low light pictures, you can push the ISO up pretty high and still get great pictures. This was the biggest reason for me to upgrade. I had a hard time taking pictures of my kids in various performances with terrible lighting conditions. Obviously...

Video: Lens recommendations?
Our big boss is apparently potentially interested in investing time and money into the video side of things. Ok, fair enough. Thing is, the 7D overheated today and I don't particularly like it. I can't get on with the AF and the zoom creep on the 15-85 as soon as it's pointed down and I don't lik...
