This isn't the place to discuss what FF camera might be best as it's a forum for Pentax Users....I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to contemplate buying anything so expensive to see what the fuss was about, with or without an eye to swapping back. Better to buy a K-3, which is a superb camera and which ...

Better to buy a K-3, which is a superb camera and which out-resolves most FF cameras anyway. ...and I am sure you are not allowed to specify which ones are these "most FF cameras" because of the forum rules. Laughable argument, really :D To the OP - just do it, but not with D600 because of the oi...

One bit of advice I'd give, is that you should only have one system. Trying to use more than one system means you need to duplicate gear and you never have the right system for any given situation (unless you carry it all - where you miss the shot lugging it all about). When considering a change,...

Well, I've just done as Smeggy suggested and compared the K5IIs and K3 using the DNG files from Imaging Resource. My process: * Download the K3hSLI51200NRAD.DNG & K52ShSLI51200NRAD.DNG files * Import into Lightroom with the "None" profile setting * Set both Camera Calibration to "Embedded" (im...

It's widely accepted that FF will have a shallower DOF than APS-C, which shows up as extra bokeh. Unfortunately that also means that (statiscally) more shots taken on FF will be OOF :shock: Manual focus will also be more difficult. --

36x24 wasn't considered Full Frame until Oscar Barnack came along and when APS (film) came along in the 1990s the manufacturers boasted that the technology boost more than made up for the size shortfall, until the technology moved to 35mm.... No it goes back much before that. 1959 in fact when Olymp...

Back to the original question, and I have a question. Why don't you know which is the best FF camera already? Reason for the question:- Some semi-pros and pros may need a full frame DSLR. They know what they want to achieve and they'll have a good idea of which is best for their needs (and ...

I currently have a K-x that has done beautifully over the past 3-4 years but I want to upgrade to a full-frame camera. As every man and his dog on this forum knows (apologies for the induced teeth gnashing in readers) Pentax doesn't look to be producing anything in this arena anytime soon (please n...

I'm currently considering the Nikon D600 as an option, any thoughts? To finish of and getting back on topic:D As for the D600, don't know as never used one properly only for a couple of minutes in store. Hope this helps. Suggest we go back to some of the comments re D600 - lots of discussion o...

Updating firmware
Yeah it can be a nerve-wracking time for sure. You start that process and then sit back and hope! I've had a few where it appears to hang afterwards and there are some nervous moments when you power it down and back up. They've always come right for me though, but those few times where it doesn't...

Looking to buy another DSLR
Your ZX-30 will be able to use manual metering (set M on the dial.) If you are missing the instruction book it can be obtained from this site: http://www.pentax-manuals.com/manuals/af/afmanuals.htm Download the MZ-30 manual and look and page 51 (same camera, different name.) The K5 and K3 are als...

K5 II and K30 Discontinued.
So back to a 2 body DSLR range then .. bit of a mistake imo as quite a few reviews I have read recently mentioned Pentax's growing number of bodies and how it made the brand look as though it was serious about selling more cameras.

K5 II and K30 Discontinued.
Yeah the K50 is the K30 really, so agree it should go. Personally I think they were a stunning buy, having the same sensor as the K5 / K5II etc, but being dramatically cheaper. A bit like the K-01 but still with weather sealing etc. Only gripe would be the lack of new features via firmware up...

Help me to decide. K-3 or stick to K-5 ?
In my view Chris, the jump from *istD to K10D was significant. The jump from K10D to K20D was also significant. After that, I skipped the K-7 as that was only a minor improvement and the jump was straight to the K-5, which was a sea change in various ways, including noise control. From the K-5 th...

Help me to decide. K-3 or stick to K-5 ?
but I want to see K3 shots that blow away what I can do with my K5, so far I haven't seen any. I don't think you'll see many, for two reasons. One, someone would have to be quite good with their K-3 to do better than you can do with your K-5, in the styles you tend to adopt - it still comes dow...

Another useful aspect, for some of us at least is it's focus peaking ability. PS Thanks NeilP for the link to this very interesting site. This link maybe of interest with the wildlife. The chap whos blog this is was shooting with a K5 IIs and upgraded to K3 http://parrotletsuk.typepad.c...
