K5 image quality concerns - thoughts please
I am appalled by the level of noise in the images ... really, really poor. The level of noise in your first image does seem a bit higher than I would expect from ISO 3200, but no more so than would be explained by underexposing and then raising the exposure in Lightroom later. When you raise the exp...

K5 image quality concerns - thoughts please
OK it's back to how it was imported into LR on flickr now That is really under exposed and by far more than a 1/3 of a stop. My take on tweaking your JPG ...

Cool cheers, I am used to ISO400 being the limit, and shooting RAW all the time so sounds like I should be OK. Is it generally best to under-expose and bring back in PP? Thats what I tended to do with the Sigma, although highlight recovery was pretty good.

Generally people advise you to underexpose and bring back if needed, but shadow recovery can produce a lot of noise, so it's probably best to nail the exposure as best you can.

Is it generally best to under-expose and bring back in PP? You should always try to get the exposure right when taking the picture. Underexposure brings noise (sometimes lots of it). You should underexpose only if you need to save some highlights, and then only use the minimum possible. The FA...

Some recent shots using both the K7 and the Sigma at a recent hifi meet. IMO the Sigma is still streets ahead on pixel sharpness and ISO100 output but the Sigma really could only be used on a tripod where all the K-7 shots were handheld. White Balance (Auto) on the K-7 is MUCH better. http://ww...

Hello George, you really can't resist can you? I'm not going to get drawn into any silly exchanges with you, sorry to disappoint. I don't know anything about the question the OP has posed, so I can't answer it, but some of the more sensible members on here may be able to offer the required advic...

Now that's quite enough sniping at each other. Please remember, attack the argument, not the person. So back on topic please, or if you can't stay on topic then at least please refrain from the personal jibes.

K5IIs, how good then?
Needless to say, I love using the K5IIs :D Zero camera-envy since using it... well, nearly zero :lol: I would add that using LR along with the QPcard 203 has enabled me to produce a lighting specific Lightroom Profile that gives much better colour rendition, and far less gamut clipping in the re...

K5IIs, how good then?
I have just photographed Bramham International Horse Trials and have some ingages going to publication, so I think this proves the camera is cabale of capturing images on par with the well known other two brands of camera. The AF-C focus is working really well and I am getting images that I would no...

On the subject of the K5iis. Is there a vast improvement from the K5 in the Auto Focus Continuous with this focus tracking facility that is suposed to track the subject even if it moves away from a dedicated focus point? Was just wondering if anyone has had hands on experience with Low Flying ...

Rob I have shot to international equine events with the K5lls using AF-C and the focus tracking feature, it works well, not Nikon D4 wise but I have had more keepers using the focus tracking feature. Focus wise personally I think it is a big improvement from the original K5.

Perhaps you can explain to myself and Gary Cabstar how looking at images ( including pixel peeping ) is not enough to determine a difference in image quality. Explain to us how actually looking at comparison images between the K-5II and K-5IIs is "unfounded speculation" I agree with John, it's total...

K5IIs, how good then?
Without ranting on about which camera is better, can I just say that I have used all three models and for my use I would pick the K5lls if I could only choose one of them. Pentax will no doubt release another model to replace the K5ll and perhaps it too will be offered in two versions? Anyway at the...

Smeggy, I was looking into the D7100 to save me a lot of grief switching (Again, Yes I know Mike P!). Tried one out and when you realise in the flesh as opposed to just reading it online, that whatever card you use you really are only getting a six frame raw buffer it makes the K5 seem like a Nikon ...

Bwaaahhhaahhhh!!!:lol: All I want is to be happy with what I've got Mike, I actually did fully intend to come back into Photography with a K5 but my mate who used to run Jessops in the Metro Centre, persuaded me I needed a D600, to be honest the difference between a good APSC and a Full Frame (S...

Good to see the needle is still stuck! Some people cant see a point in pencils as crayons do the same thing! Well Jules, it's probably a very simplistic argument, but it strikes me that those saying the K-5 IIs isn't worth it are invariably those who don't have one. Those saying it is worth it are ...

K5IIs, how good then?
I wouldnt have thought the trade in value of a mkiis against a mkii would not generate any cash back to the buyer though would it? So that is a pretty ridiculous statement to make. I have also never said there is not a difference between image output, there is although minute, but for the price d...
