Views from PU's who have upgraded from K5 to K5IIS - Please :)
I'm absolutely delighted with my IIs, it's a good deal sharper than the original. Wether it's the lack of. AA. Or the more accuratel focus, or both, I have no idea but the Raw files pop.:D

Views from PU's who have upgraded from K5 to K5IIS - Please :)
I went to Scotland with both the K-5 and my K-5iis the iis has the edge and I upgraded from a K-7. But after working with both for a week I would not upgrade from the mk1 to the mk2 it is simply not enough of a jump. My iis does have the edge but if I were you I'd wait for the next model, it surely ...

I'll keep it even when I finally, if ever own a K3... Given your love for chopping and changing brands I give it a month (maximum) after release before you have one. All it will take is a few positive posts on the forum and you will be running as fast as possible to SRS to do a PX :lol: Are you l...

Views from PU's who have upgraded from K5 to K5IIS - Please :)
I can give you a view from someone who hasn't upgraded. I've been torn between either a) getting another K5 b) getting a K30 for focus peaking c) getting a K5II variant d) sitting on my hands and waiting for whats next. Stuck with d) at the moment. I'd have gone for a K5II (probably the ...

K30 really 'entry level'?
I'm considering my options for possibly replacing my Samsung GX-10, and have been catching up on the more recent Pentax models. I see that the K30 is often referred to on various sites as 'entry level', or as a beginner's DSLR. Looking at the specs and reviews, though, it seems to me to have at leas...

K30 really 'entry level'?
I'm all in favour of something which is easy to get started with, as long as it doesn't hold me back. The K30 was made for you then. It's a brilliant camera. The specs put it somewhere between Nikon's midrange model (D5200) and enthusiast model (D7100) IMO so don't let the entry level tag put you of...

K30 really 'entry level'?
There is probably very little difference (or none) in the images from a K5 and the K30, they seem to use the same sensor with minor tweaks. For Pentax, 'entry level' seems to mean that you do not get a wired remote socket or two dials and the top lcd panel. There are other bits too, so work out what...

K30 really 'entry level'?
The theme that's developing here would suggest that the traditional specifications cannot now be relied on in defining the user category for any given model in a range. I mean, as has been said above, there is becoming less iq differences between the 'top and bottom' in the range, as far ads the ...

K30 really 'entry level'?
I have a K-30 and I think it's excellent. To answer the original question, No, I don't consider it entry level. As has been mentioned above, it may be close to the entry level of Pentax DSLR's but it compares very favourably against other brands at points well above their entry level offerings...

K30 really 'entry level'?
I agree that 'fast access' or physical lever / switch controls to key shooting functions would help define the 'level' of a camera's target user - such as the AF / Metering Mode / AF Point Select switches on the K7 / K5 series cameras. This is the sort of thing that pros would traditionally have exp...

K30 really 'entry level'?
The K500 appears to be the entry level DSLR of todays line up, given the lack of weather sealing and some more technical aspects. The K-30 seemed to be a different tack to me, in that it made some cuts in the name of cost saving, but not which dialed back any of it's capabilities. The top screen...

K30 really 'entry level'?
Apparently the K500 has no focus point indicators in the viewfinder. No doubt that saves some money, but I can't help feeling that it is also to do with how Pentax perceive the knowledge and abilities of the target user. Are they assuming that the concept of focusing, and choosing specifically where...

Why use Av instead of P?
You mean the camera with modes such as "Ansel Adams" and "Helmut Newton" included, plus the new Auto Composition feature..... But if we go back to the 1980s and read articles in magazines speculating on what the future holds the amazing thing is that it's pretty much all happened. It's happened i...

Why use Av instead of P?
I think J2R was actually enquiring about the method of selecting Av mode, rather than the photographic merits of Av, Program or any other mode as methods for the camera to determine exposure i.e. is Av mode selected via the mode dial any different from Av mode selected via the thumbwheel when the mo...

Why use Av instead of P?
They are all very good points, and it's great to be highlighting the amazingly flexible options we have with our Pentax DSLRs to apply these controls! 'Hyper-P' is of course very useful - I agree with that completely. Its cool to watch the LCD highlight jump from the Av to the Tv and the ISO as ...

Why use Av instead of P?
Its true that I feel a lot of the difference is to with the 'process mindset'. But there are some practical issues as well. For example, in P mode, when the camera is switched off and on again ,then you end up back with the defaults - your dial inputs are not remembered. In Av / Tv modes after sw...
