Pentax for Video

.... I will however take Nigel to task (slightly!) on his assertion that Pentax don't listen. They have actually introduced almost everything members of this forum have ever asked for over the past 10 years. Video is the last bastion of the Things to Do list, probably quite rightly as it is a fairl...

K3 has started to ship.......

While we wait for our batteries to charge - those of us who don't have a spare - I can at least confirm the cards eject very easily. On my K5 about 10% of 'pings' failed and then it seemed quite tight to pull. Easier to put it back in and ping again. I'm using the same cards. Also the focus swit...

K3 has started to ship.......

Quick at locking focus, more so than the IIs. Haven't tracked any fast moving objects yet. Hope to have a proper bash with it at the weekend. Shutter is quiet and refined. Nice grip and screen. Pleased so far. 3200 ISO, f2.2, 1/13 sec

K3 has started to ship.......

The new Multi Auto WB on the K3 works very well indeed. I set the K3 on a tripod and a K5lls on a tripod both with same lenses and same settings and took a few images looking out across back gardens with some autumnal leaves. The K3 rendered the colours spot on, the K5lls was still good, but the k3 ...

The wife is not enamoured with the level of detail from this camera. :(:( Returning from SRS we stopped for a coffee and I was playing with the new toy and took a picture of her across the table. I think he sharpness/detail is impressive. She is NOT impressed with the results, but on the up si...

K3 has started to ship.......

My findings so far: ISO from 100 to ISO 3200 the K3 is a clear winner in terms of IQ compared to the K5 & K5lls. (My opinion) Another thing to consider is that Lightroom 5 is very good at adjusting and controlling noise levels as are a few other specific noise programs. For those with more expert...

K3 has started to ship.......

Just waiting for a call to say they are in stock and I'll motor round the M25 to get my K3 straight away. I've just had a call from SRS, K3 are back in stock. Arranged for Friday delivery, I think I need to book a holiday for Friday :D

K3 has started to ship.......

Fran really enjoyed playing with my K3 and her K3 will be delivered on Wednesday from SRS. So, we will both get to shoot with the K3 this weekend at the RAC Rally. I was going to sell my other K5lls, but we have both decided to keep the other two K5llS's that we have, so we have a back up camera eac...

K3 has started to ship.......

FWIW the horizontal horizon on my K3 is spot on, and it is surprising how much satisfaction this small thing gives me. It would me too - let's hope it stays level. My first K-5 went back because of the level, and its replacement was the third one straight out of the box I checked in the store (...

No software noise defaults would be expected to deal with such extreme high iso. It is not unexpected that you`d need much higher corrections. Perhaps your results are not unexpected either? I was comparing the K-3 at ISO 51,200 with the K-5IIS at ISO 51,200. The K-5IIs worked OK with the Lightroom ...

The 100% images result in different magnifications with the K-3 and K-5, thus introducing another variable. Of course... 24MP v. 16mp will do that :) What would we conclude the significance of that would be? Well looking at the pics, I would say that those who want to blow up pics to poster size ...

Please stop this thread. I need a lot of good publicity about the K-3,so I can pick up a K-5ii (perhaps s) at a rock bottom price. This discussion is going to push the prices back up :D

But its not just about how much noise is visible at capture - what's more important is how the images holds up under good and effective noise reuction processing. This is not just about eliminating the noise, the second stage of that is the detail restoration. It doesn't matter what the numerica...

You'd expect more detail of course with 24MP v. 16MP But can you blast these more detailed images with more aggressive NR and be left with the same level of detail as you were getting from the K5? Albeit it's a bit regressive to increase detail levels - only to have to knock them back due to appl...

So your problem regards the K3 is it doesn't follow the Moore's Law corrorolly? I can't agree on the "Few" more features comment Smeggy, As I find the focus metering AA simulator and Flash metering to be in a totally different league to what has come before, right up there and in some regards su...
