Opinions on focus comparison please
And the Canon image is way noisier. The 50D was released virtually the same time as the K20D so if you want to compare ISO performance you should be comparing it with that :wink:

Opinions on focus comparison please
The K5 looks like it's focused slightly behind the face of the cup. Are you sure it didn't try and focus on the straw? The 50D looks to me like it's somewhere slightly in front.

Opinions on focus comparison please
The K5 looks like it's focused slightly behind the face of the cup. Sorry, meant back focusing .. not concentrating. According to Photome they both hit exactly the same focus point but the K-5 spreads its points out further so it may be including more of the cup (straw) in its calculations.

Opinions on focus comparison please
Way back when I had serious focus problems with my old K10D I found Tim Jackson's focus test chart and method and I have been using it ever since for all my short/medium distance lenses, when newly purchased or when I get a new camera. Most of of the time it usually reveals only a small adjustm...

Opinions on focus comparison please
Ok .. thought I would join in the fun. Camera 1 = Pentax K-5 with Sigma MKI 70-200mm f2.8 Camera 2 = Canon 50D with Sigma MKI 70-200mm f2.8 As for actual sharpness, I would say there is not much in it but the Canon has the edge. Leaving aside the colour balance differences, doing A/B compar...

Opinions on focus comparison please
TBH the difference is so small it's hard to say but you could only really tell if the test was done under exact conditions. Remember that the Canon is more than 2 years older than the Pentax but at the end of the day I think it shows that the K-5 is not lacking in the sharpness stakes. As for the...

In Watford with a K5 heading home
Yes, because she will she an extra body in the flat. I got away when I upgrade from K10 to K20 since it look 99% the same thing. The reason she won;t be happy is due to the fact that she is only using a KM which the battery runs out just after 100-150 shots and the auto focus sucks on the KM. I h...

K5 What a Genius
My first digital camera was an ION. I believe it was the very first digital camera, albeit it recorded stills in analogue video. Then I bought the Mk2 version. Guess they are collectors items now. Previous to that I had had a brief skirmish with a Zenith SLR followed ASAP by an ESII, ME, MX and K2....

Caravanwalks,they are good shots,you have learnt how to use the KR very well,see if you can focus on the eye of the dog it will make a very good photo.

New K5, need help with noise reduction
They are not direct comparison. No they certainly aren't! One is taken on a dull day with flat light and seems mainly out of focus (exif says f2.5), the other is sharp (exif says f7.1) and is flooded with beautiful mediterranean light!!! Hardly a level playing field. To stretch the metaphor, these i...

New K5, need help with noise reduction
Harking back to your earlier thread about your acquisition, if you really prefer the images from the K20, give the K5 to your partner. I'm sure she'd be delighted and just think of the brownie points! :D:D:D

RAW or JPG shootout (handbags at dawn)
Great shot but FWIW I think the bridge looks underexposed. I tend to push the exposure up in LR and then add some 'Recovery' to get the now over-blown highlights back.

RAW or JPG shootout (handbags at dawn)
Ansel Adams invented the Zone System to cut down all the time wasted in the darkroom trying to save pictures from poor negatives and get as much right as possible out in the field. I'm quite sure that if he were alive today he would try to come back with perfect jpg's that didn't need much post proc...

RAW or JPG shootout (handbags at dawn)
I've only owned my K-5 for a couple of weeks, but the jpg output seems pretty good to me, and I have not yet had any issues with blown highlights or lack of shadow detail, and the 'in camera PP' seems to be highly responsive and very tuneable. I feel pretty confident that the out of camera jpg's pe...

You keep saying dont take this thread to seriously & it is a light hearted discussion but it is you that included the quote in your original post "thats a challenge to photographers who shoot RAW because they have no idea about how to operate their camera!!" Now when I see a quote like that on...
