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...

The K-5: Not for me! (at least for the time being)
It's a nicer noise than the KX but not quiet to this user at least! The illuminated focus points, the faster frame rate, the much higher res LCD,time lapse, aligned HDR, more filters,nicer body grip, much better battery options, much more accurate metering, superb dynamic range. AF light as you s...

The K-5: Not for me! (at least for the time being)
I put off getting the K-7 for ages as it was too small and I hated the way it felt. Then I had the fortune to pick one at a decent price and so decided to give it a chance. Yes I had to put a grip on it but after a few weeks I couldn't go back to the K10D body, the K-7 (K-5) is just so well made ...

The K-5: Not for me! (at least for the time being)
Nice thing is if you take the grip off and put on a pancake lens you have something not much bigger than a compact .. great for street shooting. True, but that's what the K-x is for (when weather is ok). I'm not desperate to upgrade though; I don't feel I am being let down by my kit. I might w...

The K-5: Not for me! (at least for the time being)
Down at the Foxglove Covert meet last weekend,4 of the gathered clan had the K5. I've been on the edge in the buying stakes for some time now,will I ,won't I?.....it's a tough decision,and I still can't make my mind up!.The size bothers me,it is very small,I would need to purchase the grip as well,t...

The K-5: Not for me! (at least for the time being)
out of the 4 K5's ,all had been returned,and replaced by new cameras! Not true Ken, you must have misheard my comment about mine, it has a couple of tiny spot which are not worth bothering about, I did say if it got worse the camera would go back. As for button layout my K5 took a couple of weeks...

Thanks for the information. LCE don't have one. I've been waiting a few days for Devon Cameras to phone me back when they get one. I haven't tried the place in Truro so I'll give them a go. As I say, its not an easy camera to buy. Frankie

The K-5: Not for me! (at least for the time being)
I agree 100% ! I too have a K20D and adore it! thought I would try the K-5 and it felt to light and the controls were much more fiddlier! yes the high ISO would be great and it was very quiet especially in auto focus. But will hang on to my trusty K20D until the price of the Medium format 645 come...

[quote:3496ace15f="wvbarnes"]It's a nicer noise than the KX but not quiet to this user at least! ----------- I've gone from the K-x to the K-r and would say it is better overall. Focus, Flash, Noise, Screen, Live View being the main areas. It is a very noisy shutter and autofocus but seems just ...

The K-5: Not for me! (at least for the time being)
I take it all back. After 5 mins of playing with the K-7 it just clicked. The K-5 I had a play with was tethered so it must have influenced my opinion somehow. The K-7 is just fantastic. I'm considering selling on the K-x and K20D early in the new year for a K-5 now....

The K-5: Not for me! (at least for the time being)
I've just come back from a week in Portugal with my new K5. Remember I'm totally new to DSLR photography so the camera spent the entire week in its "Green" mode. I took a tripod but never found the time to use it or to read the camera manual. Suffice to say it was as easy to use as my previous co...

The K-5: Not for me! (at least for the time being)
Regarding the initial settings, you do need to move the focus to the 'settings complete' button and press ok, since otherwise it doesn't know you mean it. To determine whether it is really level or not just put the camera on something known to be level and take a shot with some verticals or horiz...

K-7 tips & tricks
There is a dedicated button for ISO changing on the K7 :) And, you can always customise the wheel configurations in all the exposure modes. For example, I have Av mode as my main mode, with Aperture on one wheel, and ISO on the other! (The ISO button still works as expected, and the Green butt...

Really k5!
Once you're used to a Pentax DLSR, you can probably do without trawling through the manuals on future model, except where there's something specific. My K200D manual was in French... I just used my istDL2 manual instead if there was something I needed to know! 90% of it was the same! Talking of m...

K5 users, what ISO?
I simply looked at DXO mark for the numbers and i do see it back when processing the photos between ISO80 and ISO400. I know there are difference with lower settings as well but the differences is just too small to spot with normal use. I haven't really had it above ISO3200. I did try 12600 jus...

Was It Worth It
I am thinking of selling my K20D and get a K7 and I know this has been spoken about before but mainly the comparisons were back in 2009/10 when the K7 was a newbie. Everyone was taking about the good and the bad. I would be interested to know what you think now as things have moved on. Many of you d...

Was It Worth It
Well back in the late '70s - early '80s, they went from the K-series to the M-series. Might they not do that again? Anyone for an ME Super D? :D Myles

Equipment Insurance ?
I am just about to Double check your policy wording. Most insist that you must insure all of your equipment or none of it is covered. That is useful thanks, I am just about to renew my policy with G&H and I only insure the stuff I actually carry about all the time, eg I don't insure my old Kx, Ta...

how to record exif data
Good man, thanks for the advice. I use Aperture and iPhoto mainly; just thought there might be a way for the data on the pic to carry automatically to the Gallery without me having to take note of it in the editing software. Of all the cameras I looked at when deciding to change from Nikon, th...
