K10D decision
Interesting reading. With my K10D I did find the 1600 ISO and 800 ISO using same aperture and shutter speed and adjusting in Photoshop RAW seemed to give same results so I have considered 800 ISO as the max. A problem for woodland photos. I have an old Vivitar 3500 with Pentax base which has one con...

K10D decision
Eric Why don't you get a cheap radio trigger to fire your flashes? I have been using these intensively recently - you can read about my set up here: Alternatively, get the SY-5 type optical slave trigger, which can ignore the pre-flash. As to your flashes, try Ebeloop rechargeable...

K10D decision
Fascinating thread. Go back two generations to the K10D and it was bigger and heavier than the K-5/K-7; go back three to the *istD series and they were smaller and lighter than the K-5/K-7! I have a K-5 and a *istDS and use both (mainly the K-5) and have no trouble with the small bodies even thou...

Displaying two images on the K30 LCD
I can't imagine why you would want to do that, so I don't know if it's available on any other cameras. For comparing two or more consecutive shots on the K20D and K-5 I just use normal playback.... zoom to whatever I'm interested in and then look at the other picture a second later by using t...

Anyone gone from K-5 to K-5II?
If only they had given the K-5II focus peaking :roll:

Anyone gone from K-5 to K-5II?
I have the K-5 and K-5 II. In my case it is not so much an upgrade - I was looking for a second body in any case and the K-5 II happened to come along at the right time and at a price I could just about stretch to. The low light AF is certainly MUCH improved. I was out with both bodies in the Edi...

Anyone gone from K-5 to K-5II?
Just had the K5ii delivered this morning. Had a brief play with the 50-135 on to see if the SDM focus was any quicker and I was pleasantly surprised. Not a scientific test but to my eyes it seemed a noticeable improvement on the K5, not quite as quick as the Sigma 50-150 HSM but it seems to be ...

How I arrived at my IIs
It all started with a Fuji s3500 really. Then I upgraded to a very nice s9500, wish I still had that one. I took the 9500 to Malta where it did all I asked, I loved the dual memory cards on it, save raw to one and jpeg to 'tuther un. A feature I think all decent cameras should have. When I got home ...

K5 SDHC Slot...
Having moved to the K5 a couple months back from the K-x I now feel I've pretty much got to grips with it... But the one thing that really bugs me is the SDHC card slot... It there an easy way to remove the card that I'm missing?! The door just seems ludicrously close to the actual slot meanin...

continuous autofocus in video mode ?
agree with you MF is a bit of a pain, but I get a higher hit rate than with the autofocus (and its quicker!) They could at least offer the focus peaking option in video mode then. :roll:

continuous autofocus in video mode ?
I have sony video cameras. I NEVER let them record on autofocus... noting worse for video than seeing the af hunt during a shot. so why do people act like this is a good thing? I have yet to see a pro using af.... this is why I like having the older MF lenses for shooting video.. the focus throw ...

best current deal on K30?
Quite a lot of people bought GX20's when they were being sold off by the likes of Jacobs for £300 3 1/2 years ago and almost got there money back 3 years later when they sold them as SH :shock: SRS are currently selling K20D's on ebay for £229 A GX-20 would only be slightly cheaper.

Digital Camera Magazine - Pentax K-30
I quite like practical photography this thread though makes me think back film days when Ricoh brought out a camera that the whole photography press raved about, it may have been the XR but couldn't swear to it, they gushed and gushed. So, thought I, lets go have a play and went to my camer...

How are 'you' getting on with the K-5 IIs?
Moiré isn't a problem, I tried to capture some just out of interest, found some while pixel peeping at 400% so I gave up looking any further :) Buy it and love it, you wont look back Mate :D :wink:

How are 'you' getting on with the K-5 IIs?
Kings new clothes methinks Or maybe just the limitations of reproduction on the web and on magazine pages. One way or another, I am hopeful that I may be able to offer some insight in the near future. Well possibly, but they are showing 100% versions. And if you can only see any real differen...

How are 'you' getting on with the K-5 IIs?
All these 100% pixel peep tests are just nonsense, you can get bigger differences from consecutive frames off the same camera :shock: Also it's impossible to focus on the same spot twice without focus bracketing. -

How are 'you' getting on with the K-5 IIs?
Yes, that was the first comparison I saw and you've only helped to prove my point by posting that. :) that showed that any differences are only of use in the world of eyestrained pixel peeping and of no use to practical photography IMO. Personally I would say if you don't trust your own eyesig...

How are 'you' getting on with the K-5 IIs?
The problem with these comparisons is that they are done under perfect conditions and lighting. I imagine at extremes you will see a difference.i imagine the mkiis gives a little scope for misfocussing and making slightly soft images sharper than they would have been. I still cannot decide, I hav...
