New K5
I have been thinking about upgrading for a very long time first with the K7, but did'nt feel that the K7 had anything much over the K20D, But the K5 is something special. There is so much competition about at the moment with the cash back deals. SRS are so reliable with great service I just could'...

New K5
I got my K5 for Christmas in early November, I did intend to wait for my birthday the following June but realised I would miss out on all that low light shooting over the coming winter, and of course I could have waited until the price dropped and saved nearly £300 but then I'd have missed out on 18...

K5 - ISO 80
It depends what you mean by better, because sometimes the lower ISO levels are reached via electronic wizardry and the camera sensor may still be shooting at ISO200, the "native" level. Not in the case of the K-5. As the DxOMark results show, the K-5 gains dynamic range at the ISO 80 setting. ...

Unscientific K-7 vs K-5 Question.
Must admit I would seriously think about buying the K-30 over the K-5 even if they are the same price. It seems you loose the top LCD (which would be a pain) but gain 11 extra weather seals, focus peeking, an updated sensor and superior AF. As I type that I think no contest actually .. want to...

K-30 Information...
K30 and 18-55WR £749 Same price as K5 and 18-55WR, after which there is £80 cash back. Are Pentax hoping to clear the K5's quickly?

K-30 Information...
Couldn't resist and I've just hit the pre-order button and paid my deposit. The logical part of my brain kept telling me I should get a K5 but something just made me want the K30. Now the waiting begins... Chris, any indications as to how long I'll be pacing back and forth?

I cannot answer the poll as none of the answers fit. The problem is that Pentax have a mountain to climb to compete with Canon/Nikon. Minolta are effectively out of the game and Sony were never in it! All the new cameras in the world won't make a difference* but new glass will. Pentax need t...

"But without great glass they will never tempt a lot of people" Ok Canon & Nikon are giants in the photographic world and that probably will not change. However in my opinion Pentax does have some great glass, take the DA* 50mm to 135mm this lens is supurb and despite it's increase in price rece...

Pentax can never compete with canikon, they can however keep coming out with niche products. Glass is a long term investment and a range can be built upon over time, as happened in the last few years. But bodies have a two year lifespan, even my nine monbth old k-5 is already starting to look ant...

"now we are back to the k-7 k-x ituation where the base model is better than the top model k-5 minus an LCD." Unless I've missed something, I can't see how the K-30 bests the K-5? I agree that it seems an improvement over the KR, but not the K-5.

Yup, I would miss the ISO button but I mainly use TAv mode these days because the sensor is that good I'm happy for it to be set on auto (unlike my Canon). Personally I don't use the flash/remote jack. Wondering if you can prog the green button for different uses .. could always put the ISO on th...

If I'm honest it's the focus peeking that's really got me interested. I would love to try out the focus peaking as well. Accurate manual focus on the K-5 at around 1M is impossible :shock:

Weather Resistance is a major plus for us. I’m not saying get rid of weathersealing. Just don’t spend the very limited advertising budget featuring it prominently. People who actually require weathersealing more than likely have the wherewithal to independently identify cameras that meet their n...

Accurate manual focus on the K-5 at around 1M is impossible :shock: I'm not sure what you mean by this Algi - I have no difficulty manually focussing my K-5 at any distances.

The only way is to use the Live View Magnified ( which makes composing the pic almost impossible I shoot quite a lot of my pics this way .... so not too impossible :?::?: With a DOF of only a few millimetres it's easy to move the camera when going back to 1x view to compose. :)
