Thank you, JohnX. That's helpful even if the response from Pentax is a bit vague. On that basis, I'll try it and report back if there are problems. Thanks for the super-fast reply. John C

Moire tends to be an issue related to resizing also, as illustrated above by the comment that you think you have it (when viewing a scaled down picture) but it's not there on the full sized picture. It was much more common in the earlier days of smaller resolution photos from 6MP sensors etc, than ...

If you mean about camera jpegs, well the in-camera algorithims cancel it out - that was seen in the PDCU preview disply windows side by side (showing the embedded camera JPEGs). Anyway, how many real world shooters have actually got both the K5II & K5IIs to back up their claims?

.......... Anyway, how many real world shooters have actually got both the K5II & K5IIs to back up their claims? I refer to my first post (No. 4 I believe).:D Simon, just buy one, any one. Maybe it would help if I summarise this thread for you: - The K5 takes pictures like it's got grease on th...

Glad to have enticed you back :) When I say equal or equalised I am talking about visible differences to the two images, side by side at high magnification. My testing showed such 'equalisation' at certain stages in the processing chains (as I've detailed a bit above). I also mean that the images ac...

There's absolutely no difference between the two for all practical photography purposes Especially at this dramatically reduced web resolution. Only difference I can really spot is a higher colour saturation in one of them. Well I see a difference. Even at this low resolution (which doesn't mean ...

Urhg, I can't help myself. Smeggy, You absolutely don't 'respect' other people's opinions and the comments back a page or two were just childish and bullying. People are giving their honest (positive) observations and you are slamming them and being rude, based on a negative - a non-observation. ...

Any full size examples anywhere (beside test scene shots) ? Lots of them, but the reviews I did for EPZ contain plenty of tripod mounted real-life shots already. Do you mean ? Not exactly comparable - different light, different focal length and different focus (on the canal ones). Any others anywh...

I think you need to go back to the original full length reviews for the various cameras. It needs bearing in mind that the shots, although shot at the same locations, were at different times because (a) the cameras were released at different times and (b) the IIs shots were grabbed during a very ...

Mac I would take no notice of people who don`t own the two camera`s you are interest in, only listen to the one`s who do. Unless you think they are lying to justify there purchase, which some people seem to be inferring.:?: I would keep the KR, unless it is holding you back. IMHO the KR`s sens...

Firmware updates out

wow even an update for the MkI K5, bringing it up to 1.16 Well done Ricoh, still supporting the old and aging cameras in the range. Wouldn't get that from Canikon. Oddly enough Nikon do support the older models with new firmware, I used it on the D7000 and D700 when the 800mm lens was launched. ...

Firmware updates out

Kevlar undies needed? No, Smeggy is right. I was beta tester for Sony video editing software and wrote my own code too. It was usually three steps forward and two back. My own weakness in the days when 32MB of memory cost more than £1,000 was to find a more efficient way of doing the same thing. ...
