How are 'you' getting on with the K-5 IIs?

what part(s) of the image are you folk seeing a difference in ? I have looked at the cushions, the bamboo chair - looked at one, back to the first , back and forth, back and forth - I see not difference at all

How are 'you' getting on with the K-5 IIs?

I see a slight difference in the colours, but, more detail in the patterns. The shot on the left, the material patterns appear slightly soft/blurred, on the right, much sharper. Ditto the weaving of the bamboo. Now, I also accept that notwithstanding the fact that these shots were taken with ...

How are 'you' getting on with the K-5 IIs?

why think that ? apples whole existence is based on hype and marketing - I made the switch a few years back and have never been more underwhelmed ( 2/3 things aside)

How are 'you' getting on with the K-5 IIs?

Your all as blind as bats! :mrgreen: I said earlier what the problem was :shock: It's almost impossible to focus twice on the same spot. The K-5IIS K52ShSLI00100NRAD.JPG shot is out of focus in most of the frame so the K30 actually looks better :shock: If you look at the white cloth under ...

How are 'you' getting on with the K-5 IIs?

I can see significant differences between the K-5II and IIS images with the basket and cushions. The IIS image is much more detailed - I'm amazed others can't see this. However, I would prefer to take the practical experiences of experts who actually own both cameras and have used both in the real...

How are 'you' getting on with the K-5 IIs?

But I'm pleased you've reduced the previous hyperbole of "significant differences", "much more detailed" "miles better" to much more credible 'Small incremental differences' I thought that might get a response!:wink: To some people 'significant' means the same as 'small incremental' to others. ...

K30 spare battery

You could consider getting a D-BH109 AA BATTERY HOLDER (clone) off any number of Far East suppliers on Ebay. They hold 4xAA batteries which last twice as long as the standard battery. I bought one a couple of weeks back - looks OK, works fine - only about £7 delivered. Andrew

K30 spare battery

when I bought a used K10 from SRS, it came with a (used) aftermarket battery that lasted for less than 50 shots on a full charge, despite being rated to a similar capacity. I went back and they replaced it with a genuine battery (also used) that seemed to last forever. I also had a new aftermark...

Upgrade from K-x........

So I think its time to upgrade from the k-x, although I have enjoyed it hence why I am stay with Pentax. Anyway, I am getting a bit annoyed with not having a 100% viewfinder, the functionality to 'tweak' my focus for my lenses and I really want a better lcd screen, as I always seem disappointed when...

Upgrade from K-x........

I traded up a few months back from K-x to K5... No regrets... But at £525 (and assumming you have the extra 100 quid) I'd go for the MkII in a heartbeat...

K30 Update

Hi everyone, I just thought it would be wise to update everybody on the K30. I've been informed by Pentax that the price of the K30 will be increasing on January 2nd back to previous levels. Cashback is still running until January 15th. This is the latest information I have. Occasionall...

K30 Update

I can understand the cash back finishing but increasing the price as well seems a bit daft. Saying that most of what Pentax does rarely makes sense to me.

K30 Update

Thanks Chris. My son Adam bought one just in time then (K30 body). A bargain with the cash back. It's a late Christmas present for a pro friend who lugs a 5D MkII around but wants a day to day camera for personal use. My money is on him wanting a K5 next once he realises how good the Pentax's ar...

K30 Update

Still available at the lower price elsewhere. Seems a bizarre move though. Still debating a k30 upgrade from my k10. My time may be running out to make my mind up I bought a K30 as an upgrade from a K200D in late November. It was worth buying for the better low light performance, higher ISO speed...

My K-30 arrived today and my K-x went to SRS with the same Royal Mail driver . Batteries now charged and I will now have the fun of setting everything up . Cashback form is completed and will be sent off tomorrow :) Its first real outing will be on 19 Jan when I'm back in Dublin again. M...

K30 settings

Jings, thought no one at all was going to come back so many thanks for taking the time. Well, here goes,I shoot entirely jpeg and post process in Picasa and am happy with the output. I have had pretty harsh comments over the years for not doing raw,but hate with a passion the heavy pp'd shots that...

K30 settings

Oh boy, can we get back onto subject instead of raw vs jpeg. Thinking about it now the question I should have asked is this, The K30 has shadow correction and highlight correction settings, so why would you NOT have this switched on ? Do either of them affect the image outside of the obvious effe...

K-5II vs K-5IIs

.....Blah Blah Blah Yadda Yadda Yadda..... I’ve read much about the K-5II vs K-5IIs. It’s confusing! I want to upgrade from the K-7 because of the better high ISO performance, low noise, better dynamic range and better auto focusing (I’ve found the DXO Labs site helpful here http://www.dxoma...
