Slow shutter speed noise reduction k-3
Thanks again, Andy. The taking longer is, I assume, the processing time. Maybe I'll not really see it unless I accurately time and compare the shot times, as the K-3 processor is quicker than previous generations. A quick Bulb test with NR on for >30 secs did not show any appreciable lapse af...

New K-S1 First Impressions...What do people think?
Have started a new topic rather than piggy back on the older ones which were more speculative. First impressions are that it could be what Pentax needs to bring in lots of younger (20s/30s) customers many of whom will hopefully stay loyal and move up the product range. The K-x did this and I can...

New K-S1 First Impressions...What do people think?
I don't like the Pentax bags mostly because they don't match my curtains :mrgreen: :wink: The K-50 was Pentax's biggest DSLR seller last week in Japan beating the K-3 + 18-135mm (2nd biggest) which is being given away at under £800 :shock: The K-50 looks a good camera with focus peaking et...

Honest assesment of K3 upgrade from K30
Elsewhere someone else rubbished the K30 and K50. This got me thinking back to my K30 and comparing it to my now 9 month old K3. I don't expect a camera costing over twice as much to be twice as good. Diminishing returns don't work like that. Having come via the Km, Kx, Kr route I still feel the ju...

Honest assesment of K3 upgrade from K30
Don't get me wrong David. I do think the K3 is better and great! I was just surprised at comments calling the K30 mediocre which it distinctly wasn't for me! I didn't have a K5 and also haven't been able to compare side by side as you have so your view is a bit more objective. I admit I haven't had ...

Honest assesment of K3 upgrade from K30
I'm trying to think back now but I believe the k-30 was the first of the new software/CPU cameras and is such is very much the k-3's younger brother/sister. They have much more in common under the hood than the k-5 series. The problem I think some have with the k-30 is that it actually has a lot...

Honest assesment of K3 upgrade from K30
Mate of mine is a dyed in the wool Nikon shooter, with a full raft of APSC bodies and glass as I used to be. He used to manage the Sunderland branch of Jessops and latterly co managed the big one in the Metro, until the S.H.T.F. a bit back, he picked up a K30 kit with the two WR lenses, when he left...

pentax k3
Hi, I upgraded from a K-r to a K-3 earlier this year. The picture quality is a lot better and the images can be cropped more harshly than from a K-r and still achieve a reasonable images. I do mostly insect and nature photography and find the brighter view finder, weather sealing and a quieter sh...

pentax k3
thank you all for your ever reliable help....been looking at a few reviews on youtube and a few have said the AF is its downfall. what do you think? :D Absolutely not. For me, the AF is superb. It is very accurate, very reliable and better on all lenses than any other body I've had, including the...

pentax k3
Edit: - David's comments hadn't appeared when I sent this! But you see what I mean. He knows mine doesn't seem quite as good as his and perhaps we'll get together some time to see if I have a fault with my lens or camera, I am just bad at using it (I'm older!) or David has a better copy. Interesting...

pentax k3
Much was made of the K-3's focussing when it first came out, with regards to tracking specifically, as this is one of the main areas Pentax is knocked back in. As others say though, the ability to focus quickly seems fast enough with the K-30 and definitely the K-3 (with lenses looking like the rea...

pentax k3
Pentax Ricoh need to do three things as regards the K3 Two of which are actually relevant to the conversation here!:) 1: Make sure that the supposedly coming 100ish to 300 and a lot-ish, and the 70-200, and indeed any lens after that has a motor in it and is able to focus quickly, IE, shorten the ...

Full Frame So They Say
Another carrot being dangled a 70-200 one this time and again it's next year! Whilst loyal Pentax users await the Holy Grail other manufacturers are producing stunning cameras and, more importantly, modern high end lenses. Full frame apart, it’s time to see some decent kit (not promises) bein...

Full Frame So They Say
And Full Frame isn't about features you will never use, it's about using lenses that have very little distortion, sensors that are brilliant in low light or reproduce accurate skin tones. Having used a full frame camera I wouldn't go back to crop sensor cameras. Thank you, tonal range, colour rendit...

Full Frame So They Say
I'm concerned about this - if Pentax do bring out a decent full frame to plug the gap between apsc and 645 then we will have to go back to whinging about the lack of lenses or even af :? It seems here that whinging will always be rife - I get it - Gary has a job to do and uses the best available ...
