Officially K-3?
Well all the wildlife photographers moan about it including me. I think it is really about being focused on one thing, something appears somewhere else (often in the sky) and by the time the AF has done a bit of searching and hunting it's gone! Dave I thought it was just so blatantly obvious that I...

mike, not sure if the focus has really been nailed there with your fast jet action shot ......you may find you'd really benefit from the new safox and tracking system on the k3.

Depending on the price i might order one on wednesday for my first shoot at leeds arena :D I bet you get one regardless of the price :) :) To be honest i was looking to walk away from Pentax the last few weeks and moving away to a full frame system, i still may yet. The pricing of the k-3 needs to b...

Believe it or not the reason for me staying with pentax is the -3ev focus system which i will have to pay through the nose to get in a full frame system. Doesn't the 6D do -3ev on the centre point?

[quote:3496ace15f="puma"]I find this very disappointing really hoping for FF not much different to the the k5iis, and lets be truthful who gives a crap about wi fi or gps ??:? Apart from the ff theres lots of improvement over the k-5 mkii but the Nikon D610 is an entry-level full frame DSLR is the...

Sorry i bored you shaun with why i am in a quandary. If you want full frame badly then swap systems as pentax arent going to release a full frame body fir at least a year now, but to get a full frame with the specs of the k-3 you are going to have to get a 5d mkiii because apart from the ff sens...

The wifi and wireless tethering are something pentax has been missing for a long time. Shuffling data over WiFi at 2 Mbytes/sec (the spec of the proposed card) is not going to be 'live view' :( yes it will. Up until a couple of weeks ago my Internet connection was only 2Mb/s and could easily stream ...

Well, I for one couldn't care less about full frame, so the K-3 is far more appealing to me than if they'd announced something with a bigger sensor. So maybe they have listened to all the people who think the K-5 (various models) is superb, but could be made even better with a more flexible autofoc...

http://www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/english/products/k-3/feature/ Page 2 gives a very good explanation of the AF system. For example: Auto tracking** to trace the subject’s movement in tandem with the new scene analysis system The PENTAX Real-time Scene Analysis System accurately detects the ...

SRS are also offering a £100 part exchange bonus, so there's your £999.00 right at launch. Is that ANY camera like the car part exchanges :D I wonder how many K5's will appear in the classifieds at £100, might be tempted to get a back-up and I could junk the worthless K7 :)

This new camera does not change the core of the 'FF' vs 'Crop' debate, and it will not stop those photographers who feel they need 'FF' now from going and getting it (and paying highly for it of course) - indeed as we've just been seeing it may tip some over the edge away from pentax very quickly. ...

I am in the fortunate position of having a wife who is very supportive when it comes to camera gear, to the extent she has been suggesting I buy a second K5 body (k5 II) both as a back-up on longer trips and for flexibility in the field. I think I'll wait until there are a good number of reviews of ...

I think the locking dial thing is a bit overkill actually based on one of the early video reviews. Video has lots of unanswered questions so far for me: What are the bit rates like? Do you get focus peaking during video if you want it? Is the image stabilisation the real mechanical deal, or a ...

Nice to see Ricoh putting some money into the system, and this camera seems to have developed more excitement than any since the K10D (which surprised everybody). I have three observations. 1 I don't like to see Ricoh's name on the back of the camera. I suspect soon it will be on the front, ...

[quote:3496ace15f="Russ"]I guess a few folks will be bitterly disappointed if the AF turns out to be no improvement. But on the whole its looking a fantastic camera release. Well done Ricoh. No one should be bitterly disappointed if the AF turns out to be no improvement. Let's see what further revie...

Pentax Roadmap
It's helpful if the first time we use the proper phrase and thereafter an abbreviation. For example, I might want to discuss depth of field (DOF) and then, having defined it, I can use DOF for the rest of a post. If that expanded to DOF and depth of focus then a new problem of clarity arises...

By the same token you could argue that some people with DSLRs should downgrade to a point and shoot. I've know several where this would probably be a good move! I'm sure FF will be better for some shots than APSC, but for most users I doubt it would be noticable. Quite oftem for macro a SMALLER s...

Pentax Roadmap
Mirrorless is the future Not so sure the other manufacturers would all agree - sales for Nikon mirrorless, for example, have fallen well short of expectation, production has been scaled back and they are turning to DSLRs as the money earners.

K20D nuggets of wisdom, please
OK, so I have myself a new (or rather, second-hand) and shiny Samsung GX-20, to all intents and purposes the same as a K20D. I also have the kit lenses, the 18-55mm and 50-200mm. I have started playing with the camera and getting good results, and I know the only real way to get the best out of it i...
