Back-up to a K5 : Pentax or Nex ?
I'm new to DSLR, but on balance, surely a sturdy decent specced body with the same mount is the way forward? Would have said a K7, but you've just flogged one :) K10 or K20 for budget? NEX does look an interesting bit of kit though. Just to throw another possibility into the mix, have you conside...

Back-up to a K5 : Pentax or Nex ?
Ricoh GXR with a K mount module (if they make one)is the answer surely as hen you'll have auto with your Pentax glass 'Really why does Pentax not have an EVIL camera?' thread is discussing this That's true .. but MF doesn't bother me for 90% of my shooting (and Pentax's CIF is absolutely superb) ...

Back-up to a K5 : Pentax or Nex ?
[quote:3496ace15f="Frogfish"]Today I went hands on with all of the EVILs ; Samsung, Ricoh, Olympus, Panasonic and of course Sony's NEX C3 (did I miss any ?). Yes you did, Leica :wink: Which Leica?[/quote] Robbie, he meant I hadn't had my paws on a Leica yet !

K20D set-up for birding
I would give birds in flight a wide berth until you've mastered taking them asleep first:lol: Seriously though, I've still not mastered birds in flight and I've been at it for years, you need to know your gear and its capabilities like the back of your hand. Looking at your images I can only s...

Really why does Pentax not have an EVIL camera?
Pentax / Ricoh have a long way to go IMHO. I really hope they have something on the drawing board or in testing. As far as the camera / lens / pocketability issue goes, a lens or two in different pockets and the tiny FLAT camera in another - job done. Though I do agree they may be fiddly (the 3 w...

Adaptor and AA cells for Pentax Kr are they worth getting.
Incidentally, you can get quite a lot of use out of AA lithiums if you do things like have the back screen turned off and just have it show the image you've taken for about 3 seconds before going blank again. I've had AA batteries last for months using that method, although I'm not sure how this wou...

The pixel war
[quote:3496ace15f="Mike-P"]I still think my K10D produced slightly sharper results than the K20D/K-7/K-5. For me it's a trade off against being able to crop a lot more, especially when shooting aircraft/birds etc. Mike, I wonder whether this is due solely to the change in sensor to CMOS?? Regar...

The pixel war
It depends on the lens and the aperture but with really really really good lenses we could go up to 40MP or even 50MP with APS-C. Is that really true? Even with current sensor resolutions, diffraction from the aperture ring is starting to limit the sharpness. A back-of-envelope calculation with ...

Now the Q becomes interesting
Hmm wonder if there's a glass element to focus the lens down onto the tiny sensor? Or is the illustrated DA40mm converted by the crop factor into a very fuzzy supertelephoto? :lol:

K10D owner with £1000 burning a hole in his pocket
I upgraded my K10 to a K20 a couple of years ago and found the K20 to be a reasonable improvement on the K10. Early this year - I bought a K-r with the intention of using it as a back up for my K20 until I could fund a K5. Problem was - in my hands at least - the K-r totally out performed the K20...

John de Lancie? Ringo Starr? You do realise that no-one below the age of 30 even know who these people are? :shock: If any youngsters hear him, they'll think Thomas the Tank Engine rather than Scouse bands. :wink: Oh, by the way Transit, saw your sig and immediately thought Yes lyrics, then spott...

full size ISO1600 photo. Full resolution this time... http://www.yaotomi.co.jp/blog/used/IMGP0537.jpg That's more like it! The difference between this one and the original photo is like night and day. At 1:1 you can tell it's not DSLR sharp, but at web size it looks pretty good. [quote:3496ace15f=...

Q at ISO1600
Indeed, you actually need to read several to have a fair idea but most of the time the review on imaging resource are always quite good. Like similar sites the Imaging Resources reviews consist of enumerating and comparing features. The writers treat cameras like gadgets and rarely say a single word...

Q at ISO1600
Funnily enough, I am no Pentax fanboy as you put it a couple of comments back. I tell it as I see it, and there are lots of cameras I like and use. But this forum is Pentax User and other cameras are off-topic unless of interest to Pentax users for some reason. We've now established that the Q se...
