Will I see a difference kx and k5
The Jessops price doesn't look that cheap to me. You would be better buying the 'body only' from SRS Microsystems, or even watch out on the Forum for a second hand one with low usage; they appear on here quite regularly. You can then spend the difference on quality lenses (very important). Rega...

Will I see a difference kx and k5
Does the K30 have AF adjust? back/front focus issues could be the make or brake of a wedding photographer... I'd agree that 2 fast zooms (as suggested by Cabstar) on 2 identical bodies would be most appropriate... SDM also has the benefit of silent focusing.

Does the K30 have AF adjust? back/front focus issues could be the make or brake of a wedding photographer... Yes, for up to 20 lenses.

Will I see a difference kx and k5
I've just been in the same position -my niece wants me to do her wedding officially. I've only ever shot alongside "officials" before and only for own amusement really. However last 2/3 weddings my shots have gained much approval. Anyway decided that if I was going to go for it i "needed" K5 over my...

Will I see a difference kx and k5
Apart from the key image quality improvements (which David listed above), the K5 (like the K7 before it) is built around a much more 'Pro -Spec' design. By this I mean easy access controls on the body - levers for AF point select, Focus Mode, Metering Mode, DOF Preview, 100% Viewfinder. All of t...

Will I see a difference kx and k5
FWIW, having never done (or intend to do!) a wedding, my comments are: Having had a K-5 for 2 yrs and a GX10 for 3 yrs before that, I got a K-R as a lighter weight "travelling" camera - and there are things I really miss when using that (good as it most certainly is) compared with the other two: ...

K-5IIs has arrived
I am really interested to see a range of 'real world' shots with the KIIs and also to hear some proper views about it from real users. Looking forward to you reporting back! Regards David

They look really good. On the exif data it states; Planar Configuration Chunky What is this??? Is it a setting?? Don't know what it is, I didn't select it in the settings. The files were raw (DNG), converted to 16 bit Tiffs by Photoshop CS5 camera raw before using Photomatix, then back to P...

I took mine out today no comparisons shots but it seem to focus a lot faster and IQ seems sharper will take both K5 and K5-11s out tomorrow and try a true comparison by taking same shoe with each camera with the same lens on and post the resulting images

K-5IIs has arrived
It would be nice to see a comparison from someone who has gone from K-5 to K-5 IIs. Jumping from a K-7 means you don't take into account everything you already had with a plain K-5 so it would be a much bigger jump in IQ/performance. Yes it would :D I took mine out today no comparisons shots but ...

K-5IIs has arrived
As I already have a K-5 the K-5IIs is not a massive step up – but a worthwhile improvement. The focusing in bright conditions seems to be about the same, but there is a big improvement in low light and under artificial light. The photo of the Robin is an example of this – a hand held shot with a DA*...

Why no DPR reviews...
DPR caters for people who are willing to go through every word of a 20-page review to check for minor differences between models. The problem is that their reviews are far too detailed, which allows them to review only a small portion of new cameras. They would do far better to offer smaller, brie...

i am also surprised by the K-3 lead in the poll, considering there are already 3000+ people voted. did all the pentaxian had a secret meeting to make sure the k-3 stays on top? :P That happened on this very forum a few years back ... there was a poll on some web site (manufacturer based IIRC) where ...

You're right that having identical bodies is an advantage. There are not that many K10D and K20D bodies around actually, people seem to be hanging on to them. However, they do pop up here from time to time. However, my feeling is that you might consider moving forwards even more than that. At the...

Thanks Alan, when I searched a month or two back there were none! It looks like a lot of K20D owners have decided they want something now, and that's probably a K30 or K-5 II/IIs! I wouldn't sell a K20D for that, it's still too good.
