K5 static sensitive
I might be proved wrong, Horst... But, although a computer recognises the camera as a "mass storage device" when it is cable-connected, all the pair "sees" is the memory card, and any images stored on the camera's internal memory. The settings will be hidden to avoid people "experimenting" on the fl...

K5 or K5II?
MkII should have improved focus speed in general not just in lowlight... If possible; and in your position I'd budget for the MkII and buy the K5 MkONE. Plus a shiny peice of glass!! 8)

K5 or K5II?
Video is probably the greatest difference between the K5 and the K5 II. ... Source? I didn't think there was ANY change to the video mode between the K-5 and the K-5ii. Oki, scratch that note. I should stop posting stuff so late, just ends up getting confused. Probably my own keen interest i...

K5 or K5II?
Well, that seems to be saying 'Get the 's' model, unless you shoot lots of textiles, fabrics etc with repeating patterns - and try and avoid shooting close ups of test charts as well!' Interestingly, they sum up by saying that the benefits are increased 'clarity and resolution' - brings me back t...

K-5ii & K-5iis REVIEW
What I would need to be clearer on, for any buying assessment, would be a firm idea on the validity of the following assumptions - what do you all think, would this be a fair sales pitch? I should choose a K511s over the standard model because I want to : 1) Save time in PP as I'll not need to s...

K-5ii & K-5iis REVIEW
As this all seems win win, will I be a happy customer, or will I be going back to the salesperson and claiming to have been misled? Looking at the IR samples - raw file data, before any demosaicing, gamma correction or processing - the difference in sharpness is very slight. K-5IIs on the right. ...

K-5ii & K-5iis REVIEW
why didn't camera manufacturers do it the other way round, ie: produce a special version camera with an AA filter for knitting catalogue photographers. LOL best point I've read for a while. I'm afraid the test does not sell the extra expense for a K5II or K5IIs over the K5 to me anyway. Which see...

K-5ii & K-5iis REVIEW
The biggest weakness of Pentax is autofocus. Pentax announced: A new SAFOX X AF module for the top AF performance in its class A pretty encouraging statement and a bold one. This is what the review said: So, what's the bottom line? Pentax promised us an AF system that works when it's dar...

K-5ii & K-5iis REVIEW
Hard to see any R&D effort worth talking about with these two models. Not that I use it much, but the fact that zero work has been done with video mode in over two years since the k5 came out is rather astounding. Then the fact that focus peaking hasnt been incorporated just smacks of limited r&d in...

K-5ii & K-5iis REVIEW
Thank you for the link, I have been waiting for a review. For me there is both encouragement and dissappointment: I was hoping for better live view AF as in the K30 - dissappointed, also looking at samples I think that noise is even better controlled in the K30, however no change from the K5 - a l...

Light weight Pentax dslr?
Before I got it I was concerned that the ergonomics would be uncomfortable. Along with a lot of others (check the other forum) I find it very comfortable, with the size and rubber grip working really well. I think the Nex etc. are too thin to be comfortable. The button placement is probably the w...

Light weight Pentax dslr?
To get back to the Pentax cameras, I did have a K-r for a few days and that didn't seem particularly bulky or heavy, so it seems good advice to look at that model. In terms of design it's delightful as well. It is also not as "plasticky" as some of the other marques' offerings. Add some small ...

Light weight Pentax dslr?
I have similar concerns with the weight of kit and seriously thought about selling my K-r and getting something smaller ie. not another DSLR. The problem is having had a succession of smaller cameras the image quality and low light capabilities aren't a patch on my K-r and I know I would regret it. ...
