Want to upgrade from *istDS to K-5...
Not sure how much use the AF would get; I'm currently running a trio of manual focus A lenses, 28/2.8, 50/1.7 and 70-210/4. (More interested in the dynamic range and noise performance over the AF.) Haven't used the original DS kit lens for quite a while as focussing manually on the DS is not hard, a...

K200D vs K5 at base ISO
I thought you had a Pentax DSLR a while back and sold it along with lenses to buy another brand ? Anyway, as to the sensor .. it really depends on what you shoot. I found quite a difference as I mainly like to shoot macro and (as I have said in a previous thread) to me the difference is like loo...

no-name batteries
Hey, we're back on this topic. My advice, buy from a reputable outlet in the EU. That way if it leaks or bursts (I would say explodes but that is unlikely to happen more than a few times a day;)) you have somewhere to seek recompense.

no-name batteries
From what I understand the biggest danger is short circuiting these batteries. This is what is most likely to cause them to catch fire. That was the reported problem that Sony had a year or so back with the batteries in the Vaio laptops. HP and Dell have also had similar battery problems over th...

Enlarged display during autofocus
Hi, When I use the screen to compose a picture and press ther shutter halfway to focus the image, the screen display suddenly magnifies the image and then after focussing goes back to normal. is there any way, that I can disable this momentary enlargement, which is very annoying to me, and have the...

Pentax K30 In-Camera HDR
I did take another couple of example shots with HDR1, a while back... Off: On (after levels adjustments): The straight-out-of-camera image was , which is why the levels needed adjusting. Presumably I should have set the EV comp a bit higher? Anyway, the jpeg was impressively deta...

like or hate K-5?
Ergonomically I prefer the K20D over my K-5 and D3, that's the price I suppose we have to pay for 3" LCDs... A lot of the functions being accessed by the left thumb is something I do appreciate and the set out on my K20D is more intuitive than the Nikon's. I hope the forthcoming new top line Penta...

like or hate K-5?
I much prefer the K-5 ergonomics to the K20D. If they go back to that styling then the K-5 really will be my last Pentax.

like or hate K-5?
I think the K10D was an improvement on the K20 before it even came out:?:lol: Looking back over some of the best images I have taken, competition winners and PPG acceptances etc, most of them were shot on either the K10D or K5, I mustn't have got out enough with the K20:D I agree it did have a ve...

K30 Review in AP
I suppose I'm always looking at covering in case of failure, so if every lens had motors in we would need a spare lens just in case. If motors are in the camera body, well, we have a back up camera body so no problem. It would add bulk and would entail redesign of existing very fine lenses, such ...

"K-5 now officially discontinued in Japan"
The FF 24 megapixel has the same pixel density like the APS-C 16 megapixel. Slightly off-topic, but 24 megapixels FF is nearer 12 megapixels APS-C - the number of pixels is a function of area rather than a linear one so you need to multiply by the crop factor twice. Pedantic mathematician crawlin...

Camera cleaning service - any recommendations
Thanks Lee. I took my then K100D Super there a few years ago, for a sensor clean. I had to leave it with them overnight, therefore double the travelling on top of the £35 charge for the work. When I got it back a hair suddenly appeared in the viewfinder, whch I managed to blow away. As to the s...

First Post.. Pentax Info Reqested
Hi folks, I've found my way here via Google as I've been looking at buying a DSLR and I'm considering the Pentax K5. I've been looking at both the Pentax K5 and the Sony A77 as these both seem similarly specced cameras. One thing that particularly draws me to the Pentax K5 is the rave revie...

I'm looking for a bit of advice on a DSLR upgrade. I'm going to Malaysia in early-mid September and part of the holiday will involve wildlife trips in Borneo. I'm contemplating upgrading my GX20 (K20d) to a K5. As well as the general improvement in a lot of areas, I think it would give me a coup...
