K-r front focusing "relevance" poll
Much more fun to talk about what is brilliant and achievable with this bargain kit! Low light quality at high ISO, 6 frames second, fantastic ergonomics, superb LCD visible from low angles (don't need a tilting one), great options for exposure and focus, RAW before during or after. How clever is th...

K-r front focusing "relevance" poll
To ccd333 no offence meant. I've not had any problems indoors but I'm an outdoors wildlife and landscape fan in the main. What artifical light issues I've had have been getting colour balance right rather than focus. If I felt autofocus was struggling I'd simply override with the quick focus ring...

K-r front focusing "relevance" poll
Polls are tricky becausae you have to pitch the quesions carefully or you affect the answers. Just asking the question is simpler. In that context, I tested the K-r for EPZ and found no problem with the focusing at even the lowest light levels, including sodium street lighting. Agreed. I was not ...

K-r front focusing "relevance" poll
There is a large consensus on another Pentax user site that the Kr has some ff of bf problems, inherent in the make of the camera. I did some testing last night inside with the flash, and didnt notice any problem. I will only attach a Pentax lens to a pentax camera now, maybe it has something to do ...

See the screen on the back: https://www.pentaxuser.com/news/pentax-q-interchangeable-lens-system-camera-367 If it's as small as it looks, then think Canon Powershot S95 and Panasonic Lumix LX5 - it looks like it's somewhere in between. C: S95 - Q5 - LX5 W: 100 - 103 - 108 H: 58 - 57 - 64 ...

Hmmm - it's an odd one. All depends on the image quality, I suppose. If the dedicated lenses do a better job compared to a compact's jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none lens, then I can see the appeal but only as a compact replacement. I could see a DSLR owner having one of these instead of a com...

I was NOT kidding (link a few posts back) read up on these lenses! they seem to have the af system from the 18-135 and built in nd filters, these puppies are advanced and I hope to see a k mount version of that zoom for video shooters! flash syncs up to 1/2000! Wide open apertures in daylig...

Eye-Fi cards already upload to websites and there doesn't seem much interest in them from Pentax users. Think you are missing the point there Algi. You don't really have any control over the Eye-Fi and it won't work out in the field where there is no WiFi. The point that was trying to be made was...

Pentax launch the Q
I ask all supporters if they are really happy with an f/10.5 lens that is diffraction limited at all apertures. This isn't an outfit to replace a DSLR, it's to replace a compact with the highest quality possible within those constraints that a compact demands. There are many instances where a sma...

Er, you didn't really read the articles did you? :wink: A small sensor gains nothing and loses in diffraction effect, DOF, noise, etc. You don't magically get more telephoto or more anything... you just see less of what you would have had with a larger sensor. I understand perfectly well how thin...

Well I've read the blog and the comments and it's surprising how negative people can be, even before something is available to test. Why not be a bit more open minded, wait until the Q appears and then see what it can actually do? As for small sensors, they are terrific for macro shots and ind...

I am guessing it's going to work like the 'backfground defocus' in Sony compacts. Two shots are taken quickly with one focused on the subject and one out of focus, and then merged together. Without "background defocus": With:

where ipad and iphone are concerned I think clever marketing has been very important (and a massive marketing budget to boot). Apple have pulled off a real trick- desirability AND a feeling of exclusivity whilst shifting millions of units. None of the camera brands have achieved this. Go back 25 yea...

I think the Q has been in development for ages, on the back burner. It's not the first ICL compact they have produced (in prototype form at least). They probably used their R&D into that model, and the R&D from the 645D/DSLR imaging pipeline, to come up with it.
