Memory card for K-x problems.

Thank you so much fo...

K5 and HDR
I tried it at the low end and it was unnoticeable. Next time I give it a go I think I'll start with the strong option. I did find the "data processing" time a bit of a hindrance. I've programmed it in as one of my user options so its easier to find. I did do it without a tripod which is probabl...

K5 and HDR
I assume K5 offers at least the same features as the K20D (I am using). I agree with rparmar - good HDRs should not look like the typical HDRs with absolutely over the top usage of this effect. It takes a while to find a right level of effect - I do HDR a lot and some of my ictures might still be fa...

Keep my new K-r or upgrade to K-5
One of the things I couldn't do without is the front wheel on the K-5. I absolutely love being able to control ISO with the front wheel and Aperture with the back on Av mode! Sooooo convenient. In your case though some glass is probably a better investment. I really liked the feel of the WR18-55 ...

Keep my new K-r or upgrade to K-5
Hi Matty, I owe none of both, but K-x, ..predecessor of K-r. I'm well satisfied of it. K-r is an improvement of K-x with larger ISO spectrum, dedicated focus lights and better AF. On the other hand so far I didn't notice any decisive difference as for image quality between K-5 and K-r. But, as it's...

Keep my new K-r or upgrade to K-5
...And if you don't mind manual focus, remember you've got a huge array of high quality glass from the past 30+ years to play with too!

New Firmware
or is the camera effectively scrap? No, they'd have to reload the software to the EPROM memory chip if the camera cannot do it itself anymore. Just like when a memory card gets corrupted and you reformat it and reinstall anything back onto it you want to keep. John

New Firmware
I may have discovered a bug in the new firmware. I noticed today when using an old 'A' series lens that my K5 was allowing shutter release before focus was confirmed. This happens in all modes except USER mode. The position of the focus mode dial 'M' AFS or C makes no difference I have rechecked the...

New Firmware
Same here Steve but I've found that "Catch in focus" had been reset to OFF. turning it back to ON seems to have fixed it.

K5 reaches the end of the road...
Had an A77 which is what brought me back to wanting the K5 again. Pentax will have to work very hard to get the image quality right if they indeed choose to use that sensor. I think ALLUDED TO T WHEN frst came back last month. I owned a Canon 7D Which I just couln't get away with then a Nion D70...

K5 reaches the end of the road...
Let's get back on topic.....I have to admit that the title of this thread puzzled me a bit.... Would I want a Special Edition K-5? Not really, I prefer black. I spent my MX and ME Super days aspiring to but not being able to afford the extra for the black versions, so i won't want silver now!

When the decide to bring a new camera body out, they will not spend any time advertising it,they will not bother to show it off in the uk at focus on imaging,well maybe they will! Good idea we will not go to focus on imaging 2012 when we are going to release in the uk "new model K-01 ".

K5 reaches the end of the road...
The silver special edition has been out for a while, I was looking at one at Focus on Imaging last year. All they are doing is pairing it with one of the new lenses. I must admit I sometimes looks at the LX special editions but they are pretty pricey when they come up (which isn't often). And n...

Not so sure about the pitying looks. Interested, confused, perplexed, perhaps. And sometimes well-informed. A friend of mine is a pro - does weddings and portrait work mostly, uses Canon. A few years back, when the K10D was newish, we were talking, and he was very complimentary about it, se...

K10D battery problem
I use my original K10 battery and it lasts for ages, although I don't always use auto-focus lenses and rarely use flash. I also have two cheap Chinese batteries which work perfectly. I often forget which I have in the camera as I try to rotate them, keeping one fully charged. They keep going for so ...

K5 help
Thanks to all for help.Ive just put lenscap on camera and sure enough the rear screen blinks away. Ive not had a camera with live view before,so this did not occur to me. The status screen on the back of the K5 comes on when you turn the camera on and then blinks in very low light. thanks Ri...
