Pentax and Full Frame
The K-7 wasn't a big step up, but the K-5 from the K20D is :shock: Especially for the high ISO, I can now take photos of birds in the shade at 400ISO which was impossible with the K-20D (which I've still got). Even if you forget to change the exposure (using manual) and the bird looks like a black ...

Pentax and Full Frame
If they did change the mount i would never buy another new pentax product. If they changed the mount, not only would I never buy another Pentax product, I'd change brand now, not when my K-5 needed replacement. If they changed the mount, an enormous number of Pentax users would jump ship, so th...

K-5 battery life
Live view and video eat battery, and have a high power draw which makes the camera run out of juice much earlier than would otherwise be the case (whenever the batteries are depleted during live view, I can normally turn the camera back on again and the battery indicator is back up to halfway, allow...

K-5 battery life
Live view and video eat battery, and have a high power draw which makes the camera run out of juice much earlier than would otherwise be the case Yes, I'm aware of that. I've had LV and/or video on for no more than 5 mins in total over all three charges. Surely that isn't going to reduce the bat...

K-5 battery life
The only thought I had, and forgive me if this is a stupid question, but how have you assessed that the batteries are flat? Are they so flat that the camera won't turn on anymore, or is it that the battery indicator is showing empty? If it is the latter, I'd suggest that you try fully draining t...

K-5 battery life
One other thought is if when your battery is showing drained, have you tried switching off then back on 10 minutes later? Sometimes the battery can appear to be discharged after an intense burst of activity, but will 'rebalance' itself after a rest. Well I have noticed this as the battery approache...

K-5 battery life
Just revived this old thread as I made a recent observation when charging my batteries on the K5. I have 4 batteries & 2 chargers which I tend to rotate hopefully to extend battery life. However I noticed something that may partly contribute to the number of exposures per charge is the way the batte...

Moving over to Pentax
Hi Dave I have no experience of using the K5 but do use a K10D with a few M42 lenses and I like the results. If you live near to the Wrexham area you are welcome to meet up and try out your lenses with my K10D, I have the adapter. On the K10 with an m42 lens you use av mode - the camera c...

Moving over to Pentax
Jeez, the Apple fan boys are back. Can't we stop the pointless PC/Mac discussions on the site?

Moving over to Pentax
Again writing from a purely personal point of view I would like to make the following observations. Today we have attended two weddings, the first a small affair with only six guests which was all wrapped up, done and dusted by 12.30pm. Not one guest commented on the fact that we were using Pentax...

Moving over to Pentax
Having a Canon user move over to a Pentax is very much like a Windoz user move over the Mac... Only once you start using the Pentax do you think "Why did I take long to make the change?". Enjoy .......now I'm off to download a few images from my K5 to my iMac..heaven :lol: I'm about to move BAC...

Moving over to Pentax
I find the discussion slightly odd.... 5D + 3 rather good Canon lenses, true the 5D may be 6 year old technology and ONLY 12MP, I would be tempted to keep that and get a cheaper used K20D or K7 (even a K10D) to use the lenses on, and an adaptor for the lenses to be fitted to the EOS.... When I...

Pentax K Auto Focus v others
According to DPreview, the AF of the K5 is superior to 1)a newly released 24 MP SLT camera and a another DSLR with a similar MP count which was released about the same time. Although, I find the AF good, it is nowhere near the ability of my D5000 for tracking moving objects. Do you agree?

BTW, the comparison is made from the last page of the review by adding the other two camera and looking at the bars. Someone removed the link I posted to that review (Duh!)

Raw Therapee and the K-5
Hi Transit, I use RT with a k100d. Using RAW will allow you to make huge changes to your output image compared to in-camera jpeg, so I agree with what Mark says. The default profile is just where you start. If you tend to change certain things on lots of images (eg boost saturation by 5% etc etc) yo...

Q Getting Smaller, Price-wise that is?
The Q with standard prime lens is now priced at £549 by SRS, and in stock, but I notice they are carrying details of a £100 cash back offer between 1st NOvember and the end of the year. That's £449 and starting to look Quite Interesting.

Pentax K5 & Q Cashback!
All the info is now live on the Pentax website. The T&Cs seem straightforward and I've downloaded the claim form. The good news is that the form appears to go back to Pentax Ricoh, rather than to some obscure third party acting incredibly slowly on behalf of Pentax.
