K5 whinge
Why does it matter where the green button is, as it is only use is in play back mode to reduce an enlarged image on the rear screen, and as such it is adjacent to the screen, a very convenient position. Take care. It doesn't do that on mine! However I use it for stop down metering all the time, ...

Finally........
Guess what - I expected to pay back a hughe amount of tax this year but my calculations where wrong - so to my complete surprise I now have the budget for a dream I have since a while. This morning I ordered a K5 together with the DA 18-135mm WR. I know there might be a new semi-professional this au...

Hi Axel, I was lucky enough to acquire the same kit a few months ago and I haven't looked back. You wont be disappointed. Enjoy. :D B.

Chromatic Abberation for RAW Files?
The real reason as I see it for using a setting like Daylight (which is the one I usually use) is to preserve the changing colour quality of the ambient light. If we use AWB all the time, as the colour of the light changes so the system will try to negate that change. So, using Daylight, as I lik...

Chromatic Abberation for RAW Files?
Just worth adding this point: When shooting RAW, it is only the embedded JPG image that is processed. As mentioned the RAW is just that. It can be useful to know this - you can use in-camera options (like processing style, lens correction etc) and have that applied to the embedded JPG. There a...

Chromatic Abberation for RAW Files?
Thanks MattMatic for that info. I would be very happy if I found that the in camera settings were being applied automatically when opening the file in PCU - as I have very little experience of working in detail with these type of adjustments, I would be happy to leave it to the camera's algorithams ...

Pentax Rumoured To Announce the K-3 Full Frame DSLR At Photokina
Don't forget the FF market is minuscule and already overcrowded and possibly on the decrease. It was posted on here some time back that the only FF in the Top 20 Best Sellers (APS-C, MFT etc. ) in Japan last year was the Canon 5D at No:20 with massive 1.5% of the market. So assuming Pentax's s...

Pentax Rumoured To Announce the K-3 Full Frame DSLR At Photokina
If it is to be a full frame it will be interesting to see how many people who have been demanding one actually buy one. It should be a major hit on it's launch day if all those full frame protagonists are to be believed. Of course whether they are willing to pay the price for it is another matter......

K5 makes a sound that does not sound good
Hi - just got my K5 - opened it - and was surproised (negatively) - the body makes a sound like something heavy is moving around near the battery grip. First I thought, it is the shake reduction device but it sounds like something really heavy and big is moving around. Is this normal - annd if so - ...

K5 makes a sound that does not sound good
I think PENTAX need to slip in a bright yellow note with large red text right under the lid so you see it as soon as the box is opened that explains what to expect when you tilt the body body back and forth.. This question comes up so often on all Pentax related forums. My Panasonic SD700 HD cam...

K5 makes a sound that does not sound good
I think I would have found any problem with the sensor shift movement by now, if the noise you are worried about was any problem. Both my K10 and K5 do it. Just back from another week in Scotland, wandering around in the mountains. The camera is usually in a holster attached to my rucksack hip be...

K-30 ... Nod by Engadget
Agreed - they were quite impressed with the camera, but bent over backwards to nitpick and cast aspersions on Pentax wherever possible! And the prose couldn't have been any more dumbed down. The manufacturer's latest swappable-lens model, the K-30, is quite a respectable beast 'Swappable-lens mod...

Pentax K20D vs Nikon D200
Oh John Riley,where art thou !! Missed a cracking D200 but like the K20 weatherproofing and shake reduction so hung back. I would be grateful for comments on these two/

Pentax K20D vs Nikon D200
On reflection, I do have one anecdote. We were on Skye with friends and came across a derelict house. One room was inaccessible apart from pointing the camera through a small gap into the dark interior. Our friends, both with D200 and D300 cameras, were totally defeated and the cameras would not ...
