Future Retro?
Who's to say AA batteries won't be obsolete in 30 years time! My guess is we'll either be using some sort of nano-fusion power generators, or we'll be back to hand-collected coal and firewood :twisted:

Future Retro?
If the worst happened, I still have my Olympus Trip, my Praktica, my Rolleiflex and my Bronica to fall back on. :D

K 5
The K-7 had a lot less problems than the K-5 which (apart from the sensor) is quite strange considering they share the same body. Would I go back to a K-7 .. absolutely Would I sell my K-5 to go back to a K-7 ... no chance.

K5 amplified noise in live view
Thanks for that. Just discovered that, with that long lens on, it seems to take a shot, I hear the shutter, but it doesn't actually take any photo and the photo counter in the top screen remains the same. Normally in live view it zzoms in to focus and then takes the shot. It wont do it with the long...

K5 amplified noise in live view
I have checked that. What I think now is that when live view is on, the mirror is up. When you press to focus, it sounds like the camera is taking a photo but there is none. If you press a second time, it seems to work. I think the first press lowers the mirror and the second press focusses tne lens...

K-r focusing, 5 point or one, help please?
The information screen on my K-r shows the default five point system. When I half press the shutter button I see only the centre focus point highlighted. Am I doing something wrong and if so, what?

K-r focusing, 5 point or one, help please?
There are several options for AF behaviour on the K-r. Centre Only Manually Select Automatic 5-point Automatic 11-point It will focus on the most prevalent phase/contrast difference. If you want to make sure all AF points are working, just set it to manual and focus on ha hard line, change ...

K-r focusing, 5 point or one, help please?
Although I don't have the K-r... After half-pressing the shutter button and focus is obtained, the camera will indicate the point(s) on what it has focused. And in your example that is the center point. So nothing is wrong.

K-r focusing, 5 point or one, help please?
Thanks chaps. Am I right in thinking that even though my focus point is in the centre, all my photographs should still be in focus and not blurred around the edges?:?:

K-r focusing, 5 point or one, help please?
Hi Jan, it all depends on what focal length lens you are using and what aperture. The delight of a DSLR is that you can control what you are taking so well. I personally use the centre spot focus (or manual) for most telephoto work and switch to the 11 point system for general use. Try ...

K-r focusing, 5 point or one, help please?
The focus points will only flash up when it is the one being used for that scene and confirms focus. There seems to be widespread expectation that the red light indicates when the camera has focused, it doesn't. It only indicates which point has been selected. The green hexagon in the viewfinder ...

K-r focusing, 5 point or one, help please?
Thanks wvbarnes. You have just given me the push that I needed to venture forth from 'autopilot' mode and johnriley, you have just, in one sentence, put me right, on when the camera is focused. The green hexagon. My only other question is this. No matter which of the three focus point systems I c...

K-r focusing, 5 point or one, help please?
milamber.Been and gone and done it! At last, I'm beginning to see the light, I think. I have been assuming and looking for all of the five points to show. What a 'Rodney'! For the first time since I got my K-r back, I am able to go and do some photography, this Wednesday [weather permitting]. Up ...

Will K5 price be driven down by new mirrorless?
the k-01 won't affect the value of the k-5... they are different animals, appeal to different shooters and in fact, the two would be complimentary in the camera bags of serious shooters that either do still and video work, or as an affordable back up to the k-5

Will K5 price be driven down by new mirrorless?
Why would anyone owning a proper DSLR be concerned about any of these cameras that use the point and shoot method of use ie the LCD screen? As someone who finally moved to DSLR two years ago from bridge cameras with (Minolta A200)and without electronic viewfinders (Canon G9 with slly optical one...

Looking at the EP1, even with the adapter it's a more elegant solution. I think the successful Pentax mirrorless will look pretty much like an EP1, or NEX or whatever with an integrated adapter (make the 'adapter' part of the camera body, and make it functional - focus ring around the outside of it ...

Will K5 price be driven down by new mirrorless?
Size is relative. I was looking at a friend's Nikon D700 the other day, and apart from incredibly slow focusing, it was ludicrously heavy. I wouldn't even contemplate it. Yesterday we used our K-5s all day, shooting a wedding, and they were quick, light, resposive and even under disco lights snapped...
