Asking a favour form anyone who owns a K5iiS and a K3
I could argue that correct exposure and sharp focus are equal parts of the image quality pipeline, which is why in real use I'm finding the K3 a little better I think than the K5 because the K3 seems to pretty much nail both every time requiring less PP, which I also like (Not at the moment though I...

Now before you start along the "You should get it right in camera first time" diatribe Smeggy DON'T! You forgot to ban me as well Jules so ... You should get it right in camera Jules :twisted: Or at least a close to right as you can achieve at the time. Unfortunately I found the K5's mete...

That's the one Mark! It's that 77 zone sensor it does not play well and not just for the flash metering either, it wanted changing and now thankfully has been, Still loved my K5/5IIs's by the way, not flaming them at all. Neil your over thinking? What you need is a workable file that you can manip...

Well, we're definitely focusing minds here now Jules :D. Expose to the right I guess will head towards blown highlights of course. From what I have gathered from other user reports the big 'thing' of the K5 series was shadow detail recovery - so you could shoot at 'average reflectance', keeping an e...

Asking a favour form anyone who owns a K5iiS and a K3
Thanks, Jules! For night shots I shoot everything in manual, including focus, though I'm hoping the K5iis might auto-focus on city lights; my Fuji X20 does. The GR has the excellent infinity focus feature, so focus isn't an issue. With the GR, I'm finding I'm getting better results by under-ex...

K-3 review at Pocket Link
Sounds like the video has been forgotten again. With all the talk of the new auto focus system I thought they would have tried to implement the auto follow focus during video recording. Useful for shots like a bride walking down the aisle for instance.

Here is a terrible 'review' The user has not actually used a K-3, exceptionally annoying !!!! That's extremely poor given he hasn't used the camera! But then I guess that is the internet, anyone can say anything really. Potentially these points are valid on some level, but to deliver them li...

K10d, K7,K5
To assist I came from a K100d to a K-30 In my opinion, assuming a modest budget like mine, I would be looking at a K-30/K-50 (same camera :wink:) or a K-5/K5ii only. These are close to or current line models and you get a warranty etc if the body is new enough. Honestly I thought the K-100d w...

Full Qoute: 2014 Pentax will have a range of four SLR K, all recent. The K3, KL to the retro look, K60 and K600. Ricoh would decline the advanced of the K3 in the lower boxes, with a simplified version of the RGB meter adopted by three enclosures, an AF module simplified 10 collimators for th...

Hmm A7 YES! D800 NOOOOOO!!! D800 sensor is in no way better than the K5 and not as good as in the K3 either, Alright I just don't like it... A7r is better but that just goes to show what can be done when there is actually something to compare to, I just think that the A7r found Nikon Out! Niko...

Sony A7R has to take the award for best executed idea. It's all great news that Ricoh are putting so much effort into the Pentax brand. Agree, the problem with the A7(r) and to some extent the Fuji, though this one is an unknown quantity, is can you see it being your only camera? I Can see them ...

I have no particular desire for a KL, although I know many do, because I don't see the point in buying something just because it looks like something from the past. This may seem like a contradiction as I've been enthusiastic about my MX-1, but that enthusiasm isn't because it pays lip service to...

I can't say I disagree with that. There is nothing wrong with being the leading APSC manufacturer. But this new Fuji is a challenge to that and a sign of future challenges to come. All early new technology products have their failings. But they normally win out in the end as the innovation progr...

Much better Translation... In 2014 Pentax will have a range of four reflex cameras, the K3; the KL retro, the K60 and the K600. Pentax is keeping the most advanced features for the K3 , with a simplified exposure system from the K3 used for the new models and a 10 point AF sytem for the K60 ,whils...

I guess I'm saying none of those functions need impact on the cameras IQ ability. A DSLR does not magically suffer image degradation because the camera body is capable of recording video. Fundamentally, Video is simply a lot of tiny resolution (2MP) photos taken one after another, which creates th...
