[quote:3496ace15f="jules"] Now that's gorgeous. Ricoh delivered pretty much everything us Pentaxians wanted Including a de-crippled 'K MOUNT' ??? Including a modern K mount! My K mount supports all my lenses perfectly well! :D Why should they support dusty fungus infested dinosaurs from forty...

Heck, sorry I spoke. Going back to silent mode!!! It may be harsh but unfortunately it's true. The way Hoya were going I couldn't see Pentax lasting much longer but at least now we have a new body that could be what many have been waiting for. And as a side note, personally I couldn't giv...

just looking at the D7100 specs at SRS and saw this ..... "1.3x crop function, expanding the possibilities of DX format: with extra telephoto effect, faster speed (up to 7 fps) and extra wide AF coverage." Obviously catering to the ethos that 24MP is of no extra gain for many applications, so ...

This is clearer and second bit quite interesting... Translating from the original article, "There are 27 AF focus points (25 are cross type), centre three are f/2.8 sensitive type." Also, in regards to smartphone interoperability, an optional http://www.flu-card.com/ is required. There's an...

Hopefully that faster CPU will allow for higher bitrates during video. To compete with others these need to be much higher out of the box. It's akin to the 'quality' level you save a JPEG at within photoshop for example. Also, does anyone do any serious HDR work in camera? ie how important is ...

I use focus points regularly when shooting at the kart track and try to get the helmet in focus as much as is possible, so having more options will be very useful.

But for the K-3 to be a Canikon beater the key is fast outofocus, not sensor quality. It seems to me that the differences in sensor performance are not that significant, but cameras such as the d7100 now have very fast AF as a differrentiator. If i am not mistaken the Nikon D7100 has a better AF th...

I'm curious what other people think about focus points. I personally see them as useful for either: tripod work, where I've got all the time in the world to jump about selecting the right point, or where you have a lineup of people and potentially you could use it to check that you've got a wide en...

my belief is that the af switch related to contrast vs phase af for af during video shooting.. Won't the mirror get in the way for phase focus video ? :)

Looks better than Pentax on the front and Ricoh on the back... which is silly!.... plus it's the future! :twisted:

If Panasonic cameras sport a great big LUMIX logo on the 'prism', why shouldn't Ricoh cameras use the PENTAX trademark in the same way? Plus on the lenses too. It makes marketing sense to me. This goes back to the old days where Pentax was a trademark of the AOC, not the name of the company itsel...

CCD vs CMOS
I've never made a side by side comparison between the K5 and K10, perhaps I will one day. My feelings about the K10 are simply an impression and a preference: I cannot say its images are "better". I'm also prepared to concede that I don't get the best from the K5's CMOS sensor and could probably...
