Not really fair to compare SLT's to DSLR's, lets go back to the much vaunted 16Mp Sensor we all know and love... More than anything so that we can compare apples to kind of apples... http://www.dxomark.com/Cameras/Compare/Side-by-side/Pentax-K-5-IIs-versus-Sony-SLT-Alpha-57-versus-Sony-Alpha-580...

Hi Jules, well you can't blame them, its their IP , that they have spent time and money on developing. Providing they are not breaking any competition laws , which I am sure they are not, they are free to sell or not sell their products to whoever they want. I think you are right about the sensor...

K3 video formats and DVD
The standard for DVD players is 576i, so a normal DVD player/DVD disk you get from the local video shop etc will only ever be in Standard Definition. However, a blank DVD is just a storage medium, that can take around 4.7GB from memory. There's nothing stopping you from burning an HD movie file ...

K10D , manual lens and macro.
Nass is very good with macro https://www.pentaxuser.com/user/nass-9403/activity With what you have already I'd mount the primes on the teleconvertor and see what you get. You might need to put the K10D into Manual Focus, and dial into Manual mode. You can either set the exposure and apertur...

Silver K3 still available
If I am to be totally honest I like the look of the silver camera (although I've only seen photos) but I'm not so sure about the silver grip:?. However I assume that 1 day before I can actually place the order, they will sell out:( I'm just lucky that way.:roll: Hopefully it will be measured ...

Silver K3 still available
Going back to the FF point, I just created a virtual shopping basket at Wex with all the Nikon FX kit required to replace my current Pentax setup. I stopped adding when the basket went over £2500:shock::shock: (D610, lenses, flashes, spare batteries, etc. etc.). I'm sure if I did the same thing wi...

Well the images linked too are not that inspiring and certainly nothing in them that suggests that FF has been any advantage or disadvantage, but that's beside the point because we stray from the point. Back at the dawn of time I think this thread was about the K-3 Silver edition?

Nice little review on the FLU Card
Are there any uses for a FLU card if you haven't got a smartphone? Would it work with a Kindle fire? The Ricoh product page gives next to zero info about it. Mine works with a Chromebook (Acer C720) but only if you drag the browser window down to a size and shape similar to a phone in vertical mod...

Nice little review on the FLU Card
Interesting discussions, thanks for the info guys. I was thinking that it might be easier to set the camera to save DNG to card 1 (and use a good quick card) and jpeg to card 2 (the Flu card for sharing. Does that work? That would seem to overcome the problem you mention (although it does not really...

Nice little review on the FLU Card
My Flu Card came today, (the proper 16GB Flu Card Pro for Pentax K-3, just to be clear.) I agree with the packing.. substantial, perhaps overly so, but whatever...! Once it WAS unpacked I unfolded the multi language quick set up sheet and carefully followed the instructions to the letter. I had ...

Nice little review on the FLU Card
The pentax Flu card application is a bit more than just WiFi, it's a tethering camera control application that does not need a WiFi hub or connection to the internet. Try using the Nikon or Canon WiFi/tethering solution in the middle of the desert with no net access!! and just to add Nikon tether...

Nice little review on the FLU Card
I had Flu about 12 years ago, was not very nice, so will not be paying a 100 squid for a card full of germs:shock:. As for WI-FI/Tethering or Gps, i buy a camera to take pictures i don`t need the techy gismo`s, and that go`es for the dreaded video to. If you need GPS to tell you where you are you ...

Nice little review on the FLU Card
Thanks for the info. I didn't realise windows phone wouldn't work! I have a hudl which works well with the LF1 but I was thinking how convenient it would be to have a phone to control the K3. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

Exact crop factor of K3 Sensor.
Jules, I think they use the diagonal measurement due to a throw back to the original TV Cathode Ray Tube days. As the original tube faces were circular the measurement of screen size was the diagonal of the largest 4:3 aspect rectangle that could be made from the tube face. It doesn't really make a...

Pentax 54MP FF DSLR
Are any brands doing in body stabilisation of a full frame sensor? If this was bought to market, surely that would be a major first? Yes, Sony. Beginning way back in 2008 with the A900 then the A850 and presently the A99. Best regards

Another Review of the K-3 ;-)
Hi Daniel, thanks for the link. I spoke with Chris today and came home poorer in the pocket but richer in the kit bag :lol: I'm sure you won't be at all disappointed Cedric, I really was sorry to have to send it back. I'll be getting one myself in the not-too-distant future, Chris has got some grea...
