K-5II vs K-5IIs
On the D800_E_master.tif Right side shot is sharper K-5II_s_master.tif Left shot is back focussed by at least half of the bottle. So no valid comparison possible :shock: -

K-5II vs K-5IIs
The OP may have gathered by now what a finely balanced decision he has to make. It's odd that so much difference of opinion exists with so little persuasive evidence around, even though both versions of the camera are now 'out in the world'. It's also slightly odd to be hailing a technological adv...

K-5II vs K-5IIs
That's true Andrew.... I am amazed that Imaging Resource have taken loads of test shots with what looks to be an out of focus camera :oops: Possibly it could be a faulty lens/camera? -

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...

K-5II vs K-5IIs
Thanks bettyswolloka. So have you come across any of the dreaded moire? If so, in what circumstances? Any negatives about the 's' so far? What sort of ISO's do you go up to and still get good real world results (and if you could describe a little of what 'real world' means in what context might b...

K-5II vs K-5IIs
Can you tell the difference ( or say which is which ) at 3 feet away let alone 6 feet? People seem to be avoiding this question but, for what it's worth, my answer is yes, I can tell the difference between the LH and RH images at 6 feet. I first saw this post shortly after it was made last night....

K5 SD Card stuck.
I had a similar problem with a Canon bridge in work. Someone had inserted the card wrongly and a piece of the plastic near the contacts had broken and was jamming the card in. There was only one solution..... Rip it out! I then took the camera apart to remove the piece of plastic, amazingly when I p...

Calling K5ii/ K5iis owners - loose shutter
Update Just back from SRS. Looks like this is normal. BTW, I'm talking about the actual shutter press button. The plastic button feels like it slightly floats on actual mechanism. Which was same for the demo model.

Calling K5ii/ K5iis owners - loose shutter
Noise is perhaps a strong word. There is a perceptible sound and it does not affect the use/function. As I said, it was similar to the shop model. Anyway back to the K5iis, I am really impressed. I not a pro, but the pictures are visibly sharper and a tiny bit less noisy. But the main di...

K-5 / K-30 / or a Nikon. advice for born again amateur
My next step is to visit Jessops, as its the only shop that local to where I am staying. Though, I doubt I will be able the see much difference in image quality on a 3 inch lcd screen under fluoro lights. Besides I forgot to mention I have an allergy with sales people trying to extract m...

K-5 / K-30 / or a Nikon. advice for born again amateur
No you won't, but the extra 12dB of dynamic Range ( two stops ) means that there's more scope for post processing without destroying Image Quality. Having that extra 2 stops is very valuable IMO. If you're shooting high contrast scenes with a 14bit K-5 you can dial in -2ev exposure ( or more ) co...

K-5 / K-30 / or a Nikon. advice for born again amateur
I would personally get a K30 and spend the balance on nice lenses. The loss of 2 bits doesn't actually seem to lose you anything, except bragging rights. The US forum has a where you can look at K5/K30 images which have been grossly underexposed and then corrected in PP, and I can't really tell th...

Hi all - thank you for the replies. I am still new to using a digital slr having moved on from a compact. I have got photoshop elements 10, so I presume I shoot in raw ? than load into photoshop if I want to do anything with it ? I don't want to get too complicated - I am preparing for a trip...

A Happy Dilemma! Two K-5s vs K-5 and K-30
I'm struggling a little to see how the K-01 is a better 'cheap' camera than the K-30 I already have? Functionally, aren't they broadly similar when the K-30 is used in liveview? Obviously the K-30 has the added benefit of a pentaprism viewfinder, Phase detect autofocus, dual control dials, it...

A Happy Dilemma! Two K-5s vs K-5 and K-30
Ah right, that makes a bit more sense then- if they were around for £240 then it's certainly worth considering. It seems SRS's ex-display ones on ebay at £219 have all gone. It's pretty rare that I use liveview- if focus is struggling I tend to drop to manual focus so that I don't have to shift m...

A Happy Dilemma! Two K-5s vs K-5 and K-30
So how much for the K-30 timothyw? :wink: Hmm.... (rubs hands together with glee and ) Are you after just the body (it was bought body only) or are you interested in a new DA WR 18-55 to go with it? I've decided to keep both K-5s (had a good look at the new one, no nasty surprises!), the only...

K5 - Now's the time...?
Just ordered a K5IIs from SRS. I've traded in my old Olympus C5060 for their offer - sorry to see it go really as it was my first digital and clocked up 3000+ frames on my round-Britain sailing trip several years back, but in reality it's just been sitting in my cupboard for the last few years. ...
