K5 - is it all I want for Christmas, please?
In terms of low light I have found the K5 focus performance very good. Perhaps the best thing would be to demo one at a shop so you can see for yourself.

K5 - is it all I want for Christmas, please?
The K-5 AF is much improved over the K10D/K20D and slightly better than the K-7. Focus speed wise it is now pretty good, especially with a fast lens. Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 and 100-300mm f4 are particularly good but I have to say the camera is still lacking in the focus tracking department when compare...

K5 - is it all I want for Christmas, please?
Let me start by saying that the focus of other marques isn't all its cracked up to be, I've sat in plenty of bird hides along with other photographers and heard their curses as their AF systems fail to lock on and they miss the shot, in fact you would be amazed at how many will use pre-focus and sto...

K20 and K5 questions
I've just got one of these grips for £33 and I agree it's pretty good for the price. One problem I've had though is that the camera quickly shows the battery losing charge when it is in the grip (no battery in camera). If I put the battery back in the camera it is fine, ie shows the correct charge...

K20 and K5 questions
Same battery shows good charge when placed immediately back into camera - without charging in between? Then must be dirty or poor contact between grip and camera?

K20 and K5 questions
I thought about the grip but at the end I got the Pentax one from SRS as none of the sellers would send the item via registered delivery or courier. On smaller stuff I do not mind but everything over £15-£20 I ask for registered delivery as I had too many items 'lost in the post' and it is a pain t...

SR in K-5 Movie Mode
I disagree, because the tripod will also move. You'll also need it every single time you touch the lens to focus, so leave it on. Don't believe it? try it. An 055 with 501HD head isn't really heavy or stable enough. I've already said it once and I'll expand it here: video is a completely differ...

My new K-5- What a disaster but THANK YOU SRS
I hear you and I feel you. The worst part was that I informed them of the exact amount, the company and even the time beforehand and they assured me that it was noted down and will be fine. But....... we got the dusting of snow, so everyone was send home. Nothing wrong with that, on the contrary, I...

My new K-5- What a disaster but THANK YOU SRS
Ah yes the endless first battery charge :D I kept taking mine out of the charger and putting mine back in the camera for 'one more go'. In the end I think it took about 7 hours to charge (instead of 4).

Pentax demo days
Thanks for this but..... its a bit far away for me. There is a bus to Exeter from Poole but I would have about 30min in Exeter before I have to get back. So, no way for me. Maybe one day they come further east at the coast. Bournemouth has a large University and College where Photography and Media ...

Pentax demo days
Are you in Poole? Nice. Love that part of the country... Swanage etc. Yep, on the outskirts of Poole on your way to Wareham, Corfe Castle and Swanage. In all kind of weather (not like the Freezer we got at the moment) the stretch between Poole and Portland Bill is my preferred Hunting ground with ...

Do you mean for the Sony Nex? I've got a NEX3 with the 2 kit lenses and have been really pleased with the results. I'm looking forward to trying the A lenses I've got coming on it, you need a lens with aperture ring and the camera will meter in Av and M as far as I'm aware Yeah that type of thi...
