Will I Love the K-5
... how long are you going to wait? The answer to that question has to be, I don't know. K3, K1, who knows? I could live with one QC issue and buy when I was sure it was dealt with, but the K5 seems to suffer from so many seemingly unrelated problems in numerous users hands that I have no confide...

Will I Love the K-5
It's interesting how quickly though the mood swings from "Pentax are too slow and lag behind the market" to "Pentax are too quick to bring out new models" - it's hard to see what speed would suit everyone! Like every other organisation they go when they're ready, and no doubt at the last minute e...

Will I Love the K-5
Well guys, after reading every single one of your comments and taking all advice on board I have decided to order a K-5. I borrowed some money and ordered the camera along with a Tamron 17-50mm from SRS. I knew from stage one that I would be unfamiliar with it as my camera is a GX20, not a K20 o...

K5 or Kr
Hi I am sure there will be may different opinions on this one - for what ot is worth - here is mine. I used to be the proud owner of a K200D which I upgraded to a K20D. No regrets and love the K20D. However, in some respects - there were aspects of the K200D that I prefered to the K20D I t...

K5 or Kr
From playing with RAW samples from DPReview and DXOMark I'd say 1/2 to one stop better noise control on the K-5. Which is quite touch to achieve. So ISO1600 shots on the K-5 should look like ISO800 on the K-r. Where the K-5 really shines though is with the dynamic range on top of the low noise an...

K5 or Kr
I had to make the same choice a while back. Do not for a minute regret buying the kr.... if money permits later, may very well sell off two k10's and buy 2 k5's, but for the time being, that kr is getting a lot of use.

K5 or Kr
Sorry that probably did not help No Carl, that did not help! :lol: I've noticed that the K5 has dropped to £878 at Warehouse Express, so it is looking better! But the Kr does sound pretty good. Also I've been looking at the Pentax 50-135mm f2.8 DA* ED SDM Lens as an alternative to the Sigma 70...

K5 or Kr
Fletcher8 - I will have some money, around +/-£2000 and your choice is pretty tempting, especially the Metz. Carl - I've not got the 70-200 yet, it will be part of the package I'm going to buy. You mention the 10-20mm, is that a Sigma or Pentax one? I was thinking of a wide angle lens as I love s...

Film Versus Digital
I have just updated my DL2 for a Kr. And what a fine camera it is! I would have liked a K5, but simply could not justify the extra £500.00 for the extra features, namely waterproofing, pentaprism, and even better ISO ability.Yes, that amount of money seems excessive considering the admirable ability...

I have just returned to the world of film, mainly because I hope it's going to help me regain my shutter release discipline. After many years of shooting with a Minolta X-300 35mm SLR, I went digital. First I had a point-and-shoot that gave me lots of manual control over the shot and then I disco...

Film Versus Digital
My sentiment sits more with Epithets - came to digital from film, so tend to spend a bit more time looking at the subject, usually landscapes, to see where the best angle/composition is. Digital's instant feed back does alow you to correct obvious errors - vignetting due to overstacking of filter...

Better equipment body and lenses can certainly buy improved image quality, that is true on film or digital but canot buy a more creative eye. It was many years ago I moved from 35mm film to medium format film, always shooting monochrome. Medium format was far more disiplined than 35mm with only thre...

I converted from a canon T90 to a pentax k-x about 6 months ago. My observations are as follows: Lovely to be able to take so many frames great to be able to look at the exposure histograms. Not so taken with autofocus, so have carried on using manual focus lenses. So much easier to play on the ...

I used to shoot film too, but the instant review capability of digital has really improved my shots. On film, by the time I got my slides or prints back my errors were long forgotten :oops: The quality of images from the K7 far exceeds anything I've shot on film... even at moderately high ISOs, ...
