Pentax K 30
Well the street price might be lower than those quoted so far. From the buttons and the write-up, this looks as if it may offer a lot of camera for the money and it is weather-sealed as well. So while it may or may not be Pentax's entry-level model it will be much more than that compared to the Cano...

Pentax K 30
The talk was of a 1.3 x crop factor so it's getting nearer the 135 format. + square image format (1.3X of 35mmFF) + 22mp sensor when used in square format (23.5x23.5mm) DFX format It would be close to being an APS-H sensor as found on the Canon EOS 1D (are we allowed to mention that :?) [quot...

Pentax K 30
A leaked quote from Pentax on the other forum suggests quite a significant AF improvement. The K-30 features the state-of-the-art SAFOX IXi+ AF sensor module, which assures responsive, high-precision autofocus operation by incorporating a diffraction lens to minimize chromatic aberration in accor...

Pentax K 30
It's looking really really good. 100% pentaprism, focus peaking in liveview, really small weathersealed body... If these specs (seen on the other forum, and apparently official) turn out to be correct, I will probably end up buying this over the K5 :P

Pentax K 30
So it is pitched below the K-5. Is it the K-r replacement or is it a mid level between the two and we will have replacements K-r and K-5? It always struck me as a replacement for the K200d... so I reckon it will be intermediate between the upcoming new entry level model and the top of the range APSC...

Pentax K 30
Ok, the kit lens, although uninspireing, can and does produce good images. This was from a few years back. Remember that Pentax have one of the best 18-55s out there, unlike canon, whos kit lens is so dire... What makes the lens look poor is usually bad camera software, something Pentax exc...

Pentax K 30
This seems to be a fantastic camera, assuming it performs as expected. - Image quality of the K5 (lower bit-rate but some places suggesting they may be wrangling more out of the sensor) - WR - 2 control wheels! - Smaller than the K5 - 100% pentaprism viewfinder! (not many were predicting th...

16 MP, weather sealing, image quality on a par with the K5, faster focus tracking for action shots than the K5 - what's not to like about this. Dear Santa Claus: I would love a blue one. David PPG: http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/artists/davidtrout

Does anybody know whether this thing has video mode autofocus? Yep! Are you sure? Pentax say: Focus peaking: Yes (n/a while video is actively recording) John

Pentax K 30
Like the look of the silverone myself, sort of harks back to the MZ days. Although I'm torn between a K5 and the K30... ... I may just wait a bit longer before buying a new body.:?

Pentax K 30
Sorry to digress on the colours front :)but which camera would be good for someone interested in wildlife photography - particularly birds? Surely the K-5 is still a great contender focus issues aside? Reading a lot of the previous comments I think we all need to calm down and wait and see wha...

This test seems quite thorough: My copy of the Kit Lens is quite good. I'm surprised he claims to have got these poor results "At its widest setting it managed only 1,440 lines, increasing to 1,746 lines at 35mm, and dropping back to 1,383 lines at 55mm." Photozone got 2300 to 2500 at...

K5 vs K7 AF speed
I know that the K5 has better AF speed than the K7 but just how much better? I had an opportunity to try out a Nikon D3 whilst shooting with an equine event photographer and was astounded by the AF speed on AF-C and coupled with the 11fps it was very easy to track the horses and get just the righ...

K5 vs K7 AF speed
How does AF-speed and tracking compare on the K-x to K5? I'd planned on an upgrade this year (passing the K-x to my other half) Although that said, the K30 is looking like more of an upgrade option than a K5 and if Pentax do announce a FF I'll just hold back another year and save like blazes!

K5 vs K7 AF speed
If you compare AF... pentax is out of the league of Canon 1 marks and D3/D4, but if you are close enough(which is far more important). Pentax confirmation is way better than canon 7d for example and D7000. Canon just confirms and after the first shot there is no confirmation at all. Pentax one...

K5 vs K7 AF speed
Tracking a swallow is a pain... It may take days for a decent focused shot :) One of the most frustrating birds to photograph. Maybe the best technique for swallows is focus trap and MF. Which again leads to my previous post when i mentioned knowing the subject's behavior, preparing the shot 2-3 d...

K5 vs K7 AF speed
here's an example... in 5 or 10 seconds i made 6 or 8 shots of this grey heron in flight. All of them in focus, these are just the ones that are worth showing. Whilst I agree that it's not AF accuracy that's the issue, the problem is that the speed of AF-C just can't keep up with a rapidly moving su...

K5 vs K7 AF speed
K5 has options to select between focus priority and fps priority, more FPS too, so when the FPS is held back by the speed of AF it is still around 5 FPS or so, while k7 is maybe at 3-3.5FPS I did some testing when i had it, but i can't remember the numbers. in my opinion for horse riding shots af...

K5 vs K7 AF speed
Thanks Amplified. No need to apologise for your english - I certainly couldn't hold this conversation in Bulgarian(?) I'm not sure about focus or fps priority on the K7. I will have a look. Unfortunately AF-C is the only way to go as the distance between you and the horse is normally always c...
