Completely Dejected (auto focus K5)
Please read this Go to the following chapter... 2.5) Be careful about autofocus The K-5/Pentax is not the only camera/system that suffers in these conditions. That paragraph is really only saying that cameras find it harder to AF when the light is low, and of course that's true. It's a bit di...

K-X to K-5 upgrade worthwhile?
The K-5 is an amazing camera, I'd jump for one now, if you don't have any use for the K-x after you get the K-5 sell it. Put the money in the S/H 17-50 Tamron to replace the rather weak 18-55. If you have the DA 35mm 2.4 it is a great lens, I have one. The 55-300 sounds terrific too but I don't own ...

K-X to K-5 upgrade worthwhile?
hmmmm I've only done a handful of shoots so far with my K5 and the quality is dysmal and the focus ... well there isn't any. Oh dear - have I made a big mistake ? I've had no such issues with my K 200 which has given me cracking photos. I am going to need to do some direct comparisons with ...

K-X to K-5 upgrade worthwhile?
Back to the OP, I say buy the K5 if you want a sturdier body with more external controls. If you are after a huge leap in IQ from the Kx, I wouldn't bother. Get better / faster lenses instead!

K-X to K-5 upgrade worthwhile?
I've been reading this thread with some interest, particularly as in the next year I plan to buy a K-5, not to replace my K-x but as my primary body, with the K-x being retained as additional. However, something quite different has caused me to reconsider. I recently bought my son a K-x (second ha...

K-X to K-5 upgrade worthwhile?
I have read all of the posts here and would comment as follows: I have owned the K10D, K20D and still own the K-7 and now the K-5. I have had a problem with the K-5's electronic horizon which is out of alighnment with the viewfinder by about three degrees of rotation. This is enough to make it to...

Advice Please
Darren, With the K-R you use the histogram (as mentioned above) to check exposure. On playback, when looking at a particular photo, the INFO button usually cycles through various display modes, one of which will show the histogram. Also on the K-R you can configure Live View to show the his...

Opinions on focus comparison please
Hi Guys I posted on about having some concerns on my K5's autofocus and said I would post some pics so this is the thread for that. I was out yesterday and took the same scene with 2 cameras. Both using standard 18-55 kit lens, both ISO 100, both 6 seconds exposure at f10 fired with c...

Second one is definitely better IMHO. Regards David

Opinions on focus comparison please
Unfortunately it's a very inconclusive test and I'm not sure the subject is a good one. The two cameras (both on JPEG or RAW?) give different exposures and the quality of the two is certainly different. Is this due to the lenses, the JPEG settings, the degree of sharpening needed in Photoshop? We...

to answer a couple of those questions I always shoot RAW and processing was identical.

You don't need a second camera to do a focus test. Just use the one you are testing and the 45 degree subject will reveal where it is focusing.

Well... we can see the photos and we can see something is wrong. That's a conclusion we can draw without reference to test charts etc... I presume you've turned SR off for the long exposure? The first image is OOF but seems less so in the left hand corner, perhaps. The wall there is closer...
