Timing...
It wouldn't be crazy to throw the K30 into the mix, which seems to have the K5's headline features, throws in your focus peaking and more responsive AF (according to most users so far).

Centre AF point on K-7
When using SEL for the focus point is there a way to centre it with a single button press? It was possible on the K10 but can't find the option on the K7.

Centre AF point on K-7
Actually, page 129 of the K5 manual says: OK Button: Returns the AF point to the center of the AF frame. Press and hold OK Button: ... (My K5 is in for repair) It may be that you need to hold down the AF button to switch the enable/disable and then pressing OK will center it. It's pro...

K-R noise issues
I can't see any noise at all. If that image is noisy I need to get my money back on my K-r!

K-R noise issues
I can see lots of noise. But as good as the Kr is you can't really expect an entry level model to produce professional level images straight out of the camera, they are going to need some work, and yes I second Neat Image for getting rid of noise. Anyone who is really serious about submitting...

K5 default values
As well as the obvious turning off of preview screen, LCD screen light, status screen,silly bleeps, four star low compression jpeg (odd its not the default) etc I've set up some User mode settings (you can do up to five)for fast action, landscape, night photography etc. for quick change. I us...

K5 JPEG default setting
Of course you are both right and one should always aim at the best IQ possible, so I have changed my settings. I imagine that an uncompressed image will leave a little extra scope in post processing before any artifacts creep in. I usually shoot in Aperture Priority mode. I have always struggled to...

Intermittent loss of screen on K5...?
Took the K5 out yesterday, after a spell in the bag, I've moved home and things have been up in the air the last 2 weeks. Anyhoo... I took the first image, and whilst 'chimping' I could see nothing on the rear screen. I took a series of shots... all the same outcome. I switched the camera off ...

What do we want from the K-5 replacement
Okay, so our beloved K-5 is now officially discontinued and a new model is on the way. But what do we want from the replacement? I am sure it will probably have the Sony 24MP APS-C sensor. This is a bit of a concern for me as inspite of the detail improvement, I have read in many places that it i...

- Electronic Level: function to set zero point - Predictive AF (not just faster) - Smaller AF points - Dedicated video button - AF during video - More sensible video codec (to reduce the ridiculous file sizes) - Return to Key/Lock design of the K10/20 card door - Allow catch-in-focus with AF...

What do we want from the K-5 replacement
One feature the recent Pentax releases have that is missing on the K5 is focus peaking. I've not tried it but it sounds ideal for older MF lenses... Many of the features mentioned previously would also be required. Oh & George, longer than 77 is preferable for some portraits (for more pleasin...

What do we want from the K-5 replacement
I've too many DA lenses to want FF, and I'd prefer to keep a fixed screen to preserve the WR. In fact, I'd just like the current K-5 but with the Focus Peaking and AF updates from the K-30.

What do we want from the K-5 replacement
The menu on the D90 is terrible, have you tried changing the focussing mode from centre point to user select???? Not sure if the menu system has changed from the D90 to the D800 (sounds like it has) but I quite like the menu system. Particularly 'My Menu' - you can select items (up to 20) and add th...

What do we want from the K-5 replacement
I covered fashion shows several months back. I used the K5, D700 and D7000. Neither the K5 or the D7000 would lock on in the evening sessions which were in very poor light. The D700 locked on without fail. Maybe I need to bin the K5 and D7000 and get a Panasonic as a back up camera. Best regards
