[quote:3496ace15f="Smeggypants"]I would suggest to that person, go pick up an old 35mm, runs some rolls of film through, if you comeback to me saying - 'That was AMAZING, UNBELIEVABLE, I can't live without it' - then you know what you've got to do, or then again......... you won't. Every time I get ...

Its not just about going FF. If they do, Ricoh would be introducing a camera into a market of limited size. One already dominated by the competition. It would be simply madness just to produce a FF offering, and try to capture market share. New innovation would be required to give an edge. Are Ricoh...

The IQ of the K5, the K5ll and the K5lls are all very good and in most areas provide 90% of what Pentax users want. However, the two distinct advantages of FF are increased control of DOF and cleaner higher ISO. If Pentax could produce a full frame K5 equivalent, I would buy one tomorrow. I really l...

Cheers Gareth, it actually stopped me moving to a D600 back in May lol I was at that crossroads myself but had too much work on to go through a system change, so got the 77 instead. I have cleared out all my DA glass now though apart from the Siggy UWA's and the emergency DAL 55-300 (god know...

Seems to me that Ricoh is on a hiding to nothing here! Whatever they bring out will be "too little too late" to stop the mad exodus to the Canikon Eos D610 thousand million! Is there a site where I can have a laugh at the moans of ex Pentax users who jumped ship to the Nikon D600 during it's sho...

I do think the add ons, whilst not necessarily desired by all are what's going to get Pentax to shape up on the spec comparison sheet. Once you can start doing that, people will look at the IQ and be impressed. Now I know that's back to front for most, but growing the brand means getting more peop...

I think it's worth a step back to work out where people want Pentax to go and what they want Pentax to be. What I'm saying is that if you want Pentax to become a more significant player in the market then you'll have to start providing what the wider market wants. I know lots of people who were ...

The question is; how can Pentax attain an adequate market share to justify their investment? We on this site are not their problem, neither are other Pentax users who stay with their products. So the question must be, (as Richard and many others have pointed out), what can Pentax add that will att...

Its the gadgety useless features that sell cameras though. The salesman is more likley to be able to explain and show the benefits of a hdr feature in store than the benefits of say a full frame sensor. Now that's something I would love to eavesdrop on - a salesperson explaining the benefits of a 'F...

That comes back to my question of how to identify that need for ff with any individual, assuming they're onot already convinced solely by the 'bigger, pro's use it' arguments. I've been noticing lately that none of the members who advertise their Pentax kit to 'go ff' ever identify exactly what aspe...

Not aiming to be negative, but I'd like to see those features available at all times. There are too many 'has this feature, but it's only available in these modes' etc. I remember one of the K-30 reviews making reference to this with the AF modes, which were auto in some configurations, but no...

I've skimmed the review and the one option they missed out with AF was the option to just use centre point focus. This is actually the most efficient option with any camera. The technique is focus where you want to, hold focus with a half press on the shutter release, recompose and fire. It can b...

As the reviewer says, ' Why couldn’t I focus and recompose? Because then I’d throw off the plane of focus.' I think I've noticed similar issues when I employ the focus/recompose technique (which is my normal technique as I usually find manually moving the focus point too much of a faff). I wonder...

The point about the plane of focus is technically correct, but in practice it's only relevant at macro distances. The actual diameter of the sphere which is the plane of focus is huge compared to the distances, so the actual error is very small. There's probably more error in either the AF system or...
