K5IIS V CANON 6D
I haven't be able to justify taking K-5 II since the differences with my k-5 are just too little. Instead I've got Canon 6D on order. I'll play with it and decide to switch the brands or not. Then I'll sell whatever equipment became redundant. Pentax system is very good one and I am really enjoyi...

K5IIS V CANON 6D
But you don't know how many they have deleted either do you??? A 1d mkiv and the 5d mkiii will help considerably with AF tracking but then they should at over 3 times the cost of the k-5 mkiii I recently compared the AF speed of the 5d mkiii against the k-5 mkii and in spot AF there is very ve...

K5IIS V CANON 6D
People somehow managed with manual focus, manual wind-on SLRs.... I agree, it's patience and the ability to capture the moment rather than snapping every possible scenario with the latest kit. One beautiful shot to keep forever rather than a gazillion so-so ones! If you do not have the technical ...

K5IIS V CANON 6D
I don't think the discussion about practising and developing your skills was aimed at you, Mart. Upgrading kit will not compensate for a lack of skill IMO, but if you are skilled, as you sound to be, you can become aware of places where your current kit - not you - is holding your photography back. ...

K-30 vs OM-D
Thank you SMC. It's a funny thing the OM-D AF, yes it's quick but doesn't seem at all quicker than that of the my old K5 and the focus box is so big that you are never quite sure what your focusing on. That being said, in general use it doesn't seem to miss focus very often - but then again, the DoF...

K-30 vs OM-D
I went from Pentax (K-7) to m43, had the OM-D for a year or so, and have now returned to Pentax (K-5). I'd seriously consider the K-5 at the prices you can pick them up from SRS. The sensor in the OM-D is spectacular and I suspect based on very similar technology to the Pentax - both being Sony-...

K-30 vs OM-D
All cameras are quite useless at focusing accurately see.... http://www.slrgear.com/articles/focus/focus.htm Live view is about the most accurate way. but it's better to focus bracket or at least repeat the shot a few times. Most of the Pentax AF problems (apart from tracking) should have b...

K-30 vs OM-D
It seems your main complaint is that the kit zooms you have are slow. Well, so are all kit zooms. The solution is to pony up for the fast Olympus zooms or shoot primes. Moving to Pentax will not solve that particular problem. I generally shoot an MFT kit consisting of the 14/20/45. This is equivalen...

K-30 vs OM-D
Steve, I just read some of Benjamin Kanarek's posts on his blog, and he is not very happy with Pentax camera's AF accuracy. I wonder if Benjamin has used a K-5II variant? Focus accuracy is superb on these cameras; I doubt if there's anything more accurate, maybe faster, but not more accurate, even ...

K-30 vs OM-D
Have just traded an om-d for a barely used (1176 shutter count) k30with da*16-50 and da*50-135 lenses. OM-D = lightening fast focus but focus box is large, not an issue 90% of time but if trying to get birds in trees etc then it can be an issue. Technically its superier to k30 in just about ever...

K-30 vs OM-D
I use a K-30 and a E-PL5 with a clip on EVF not that different from the OMD and they are completely different beasts and each gets used for different reasons with me. Focusing on static subjects is faster with the Oly, the Pentax is more reliable for CAF where as the Oly is next to useless. bu...

Pentax's Own Software
Use PDCU v4.40 - it will cope with everything in the DSLR range back to the *istD.

Pentax's Own Software
Use PDCU v4.40 - it will cope with everything in the DSLR range back to the *istD. I'd have hoped it would too and I may try that one. But Pentax don't show the *istD as compatible with it! :shock: John K

K30 red Lamp Flashing
While on hols I had the red LED flashing on the front of the K30. The camera would shut down with data still on the screen but would not accept any input from me. Each time this happened I turned off then on and all was ok for a while. I reset everything back to default settings and all has been wel...

K30 red Lamp Flashing
Don't know but suggest: 1. Try a different memory card. 2. Make sure on latest firmware (1.04) 3. Check the battery contacts. 4. If using AA rechargeables, try some different ones or the Lithium Ion one that came with the camera. I can't find a published default setting either despite...
