I want a K5...NOW!!
I think we should start seeing some reviews pretty soon now Pentax have released the new firmware. I would guess they have been holding samples back until they sorted out the buffer/fps. IMO they would have got slaughtered in the press what with having 7 fps and only being able to take 5 shots in hi...

K7 vs K5 ?
My concern about the price is that it may be hiked up now to be able to give a "NO VAT INCREASE" deal in January and keep it the same price which means I am either paying £25 more for it now or paying the same in January if that makes sense??. But if you buy now the camera store will get the £25 and...

K7 vs K5 ?
I am pondering a K-5 myself and wondered how good the improved autofocus is, I have always been disappointed with the speed and accuracy of the autofocus on my K-7 especially when a Sea Eagle was hurtling towards me and the continuous focus decided at that point to focus on the distant hills even th...

K-5 Firmware 1.01 is now available
Yeah I got 21 frames RAW+JPEG. I just had to giggle to myself like a little child for a second or two. That will give me an excuse to get back out skiing this winter and maybe get some great jumping shots.

K7 poor image quality
I have just bought my first DSLR the K7, upgrading from a Fuji 9600s. I bought it with the kit lenses 18-55mm WR and 50-200mm WR. Up to now I am unimpressed with image quality. I have tried changing settings to ensure ISO stays low but I still find images are noisey grainy and with poor sharpness. A...

The green mode on the K-7 (PSvTvAv etc dial) auto ranges the ISO up to 800 as it chooses. Which is why I don't use it. The GX10 and GX20 allowed the camera to limit the ISO in green mode. Just use P mode instead of green. Also if its 2nd hand, factory reset the settings. Check the "AF adjust...

Where was your focus point?.....shooting @4.5 will give you a very limited dof!......I cant see anything that I would call "in focus!"....When I recieved my K20 it was back focussing,have you checked your K7?.....Ken

Just a quick question. Why did you take the shot at f/4,5? Not the best choice of aperture for the image you posted in my opinion. There are numerous things you could try to improve your images and these are not meant to patronise you, but may give you an insight in improving the images and your ph...

Getting back to the OP, the Fiji 9600 is actually not that good in terms of image quality. The Pentax K-7 should be considerably better and don'[t forget that the kit lens is actually quite a good one. Was it new? If it was second hand perhaps the previous owner has set something oddly, or perhap...

Getting back to the OP, the Fiji 9600 is actually not that good in terms of image quality. Hi John, I'm not sure this comment is exactly fair, the 9600 & its predecessor the 9500 were highly thought of "prosumer" models as mentioned here in a couple of reviews, I nearly bought one myself after ...

Getting back to the OP's problems. Do you have SR switched on & are you waiting for the hand to light up in the viewfinder indicating the SR is locked & ready??? Are you also waiting for the focus confirmation light to light?? The hexagon in the bottom of the viewfinder. It's been a long time sin...

I think it's fairly obvious that the OP doesn't appreciate the need to do post-processing. Until he does, he's not going to get the best from his camera. And this is the problem with the pictures posted by Dougf8, which can serve only to reinforce the OP's view that the camera is not much good. ...
