Interesting Reading about simulated AA filter of K-3
Which comes back to point I made earlier.... if its so easy to sort out in software, why would Pentax go to all this trouble of creating this new revolutionary technololgy if they could have just provided an update to PDCU??

Interesting Reading about simulated AA filter of K-3
It is actually a brilliant little bit of design, wonderful lateral thinking. Competitors are probably kicking themselves for not doing it first and of course those with no sensor shake technology can't do it in-lens so easily. Not quite. Actually the patents for this go way back, covering both lens ...

Interesting Reading about simulated AA filter of K-3
Well, if the only method of removing it is blur, as it has been said here, then that would be a tricky matter. Bits of slightly out of focus areas on a photo can ruin the whole thing. If we are moving to cameras without aa filters generally then you'd expect software progrmmers to start to write in ...

is the K-3 three times better than the K-5 (mk1)
This quote from Adam on Pentaxforums has got me slightly concerned tbh ... hopefully it's just because he was previewing a demo unit with incomplete firmware. I would say that the improvements made to the AF system are nowhere near as significant as the other new & improved features, such as the ...

K5 Enlargement Capture
Just done it all on my K-5, both resize and crop.. all worked correctly! I wonder about what it does. Does it take the JPG, crop it and resize, or does it go back to the RAW format (if available) and do the cropping and resize from that?

Meet the Ricoh/Pentax D400!
Here's the thing though and where Size Matters in the photographic industry at least! Despite the undoubted furore the K3 is causing, despite the groans the Nikon D610 is recieivng (And it really is!), I bet Canon have a 7D MKII and Nikon a D400 sat waiting to go if the 70D/6D and the D7100/D610 ...

Meet the Ricoh/Pentax D400!
This is all very well, but I haven't ever seen the point of switching from system to system when something new comes out. Next week it will be something else anyway. It's probably very boring to some, but I use cameras to make images. Upgrading happens when needed because something breaks or beca...

K-3 Pre-production hands on at SRS!
Just got back from SRS, got there for 9am as I didn't want to keep our gallery closed for too long and it was a good call as I got both of them to myself for a while! Main reason for going over was to check the autofocus with the 250-600mm, good news is that it's a lot better than the K-5, seems ...

K-3 Pre-production hands on at SRS!
There were plenty of people walking around to get a feel of how the tracking will work, so looking forward to trying one in the field. As mentioned it really needs final firmware to give a proper review of some of the features. Having played with 3x k-7 pre production models I know that my 60-250...

Btw. Funny how downloading some of the full res sample images takes me back to the days of dial up modems :lol:

K7, K5, K3 - Sensor Shift Adjustment to get Lens Shift!
That's a good idea. Shows that all those bodies could have had a larger than APS-C sensor too given that stitching the images without moving the camera gives you a larger image. John K You mean the sensor could be the same size as the back of the camera! :mrgreen: :lol: :wink: --

K5 / *istDs ... green button vs. ae-l
Hej, now that I have a K5 (swoon) there's one thing that I know will bug me a little, coming from the *istDs (that I want to hold onto as a secondary body; potentially converted to an IR camera, eventually): The green button difference. I use a number of manual lenses. On the *istDs pressing t...

Perhaps naive question, but who needs such fancy metering?
I now realise that my original post may have come across as a kind of 'real photographers don't need light meters' kind of thing, which is emphatically not what I meant. It was more that it seems to me that already a few years back, light metering became sophisticated enough to put your exposure rou...

Perhaps naive question, but who needs such fancy metering?
I've told this tale before, but it's relevant here as well. Wind back many years to a camera club demo I saw, with two photographers showing printing from colour negatives and colour slides respectively. Mr Colour Slide had tanks of water, thermometers everywhere, kettles boiling and a right old ...

Perhaps naive question, but who needs such fancy metering?
I use centre weighted. I don't trust a camera to know what part of the picture I want exposed best. You can help your camera a bit though. The K7 / & K5 offer a menu item to link the active focus point to the metering. This offers an automatic bias to the area in sharpest focus, might not be the cen...
