The challenge for Pentax
They now have a class leading product range but to a degree face the same problem as Olympus (who also in my view have class leading and excellent products) and the difficult part is getting the public to know how good they are and think of buying them in preference to what they see all the pro's sh...

The challenge for Pentax
Without getting into a yours is bigger type match, there are some basic spec items that Pentax will need to address sooner or later also. Autofocus ability and number of sensor points is a prime example. Many new buyers look for some measure to assess products against each other, hence the meg...

The challenge for Pentax
the images we see from them on social media are often not very good. I 'liked' Ricoh UK on facebook as part of some promotion a while back. I must say that I agree with the statement above. There are some nice photos shown, but there are some shockers that PR should have screened through. By cont...

The challenge for Pentax
I also despair at some of the threads I read on other forums, as others have said it's basically down to "shall I pick Canon or Nikon?", and there's often someone who comes in to suggest Sony, and rarely someone who comes in to suggest Pentax. In fact one thread I read recently asked the question "...

The challenge for Pentax
Going back to the marketing mentioned earlier. Ricoh don't need to spend a lot of money on marketing, in this social networking age getting the message out has never been simpler or cheaper. What the brand needs to do is push entry level colourful bodies I to the hands of people like one direction, ...

Pentax FF First Look?
Google Translate gave this: Digital single-lens reflex camera of 35 mm full size large image sensor loading of Pentax had been exhibited at the Ricoh booth of CP + 2015. Product name is undecided at present, but in full size machine K mount adoption, you will be able to use the manual focus era of ...

Inside the ks-2 and new flash
Looks like an ever so slight change to the graphical ui on the back screen too. That 4 way dial icon looks a bit different from memory. Looks incredibly complicated. I read something recently about mirrorless cameras having around 40 screws in total, compared to around 140 on the equivalent DSLR...

Pentax Winter Cashback promotion
My cash-back appeared in my account today, having sent in the claim on 22nd January. No sign of the FluCard as yet. Am chasing/badgering the marketing firm that are managing the promotion for Pentax directly; they don't like it up 'em Mr Mannering! :shock:

K-S1
I bought a K-S1 body via Amazon as it was a good price, Have settled in well with it and it didn't take me long to re-learn the controls after using a K100D Super for some years now. That 20MP sensor is a stunner too. After the purchase I read as many reviews as I could find and I don't agree a...

Ricoh- big (ish) in Japan
I find it odd that everyone wants the latest tech in new cameras, but when it come's to EVF's, many seem to turn into Luddites, preferring to stick with technology a century old. Apart from the obvious advantages in low-light, an EVF gives you a real-time view of what the sensor is going to capt...

Ricoh- big (ish) in Japan
EVFs will get betwe, but right now I prefer optical for most things. Manual focussing I tend to do with live view and focus peaking and digital zoom nowadays. I've never really found the optical viewfinders very good compared to the old film camera equivalents, especially for narrow depth of f...

Maybe just me or I have a rubbish K3
I agree, a DSLR isn't a snapshot camera. But I see so many people with [other brand] DSLRs treating them like they are... Ha my post was quite a rant. I got interrupted half way through so probably covered the same ground multiple times. You've summed it up well in your two posts Steve. I d...

...... or isolating a subject from the background. Which is where the smaller sensor cameras and smartphones fall flat, literally - there's no depth to smartphone photos. There's a lot of people who think that if everything isn't in focus, then it's a bad photo ("Oh, it's a shame most of it is blurr...

Maybe just me or I have a rubbish K3
Sorry...didnīt finish last post... Once my K-50 sells on ebay I am intending to buy a 4/3īs camera as my second/back up camera, and top of my list are teh Panasonic G6 and the Olympus OMD-m 5. This will give me I hope the choice to take a more walk about style camera and to keep the K-3 for mo...

Maybe just me or I have a rubbish K3
Just a quick look at the EXIF shows: * Normal exposure bias * Histogram looks ok - it has exposed so that all three RGB channels are within acceptable ranges for editing * Contrast is set to hard * Sharpness is set to hard I'd put the settings back to normal, and use one of the other image mo...

Either would mean some incredible coding on somebody's part. I mean to foresee the additional fields that PENTAX would add for the K3 eg. But I'll take my (intended) helpful input back to where i came from ;-)

Maybe just me or I have a rubbish K3
Hi Guys, I checked my camera and my exposure compensation is set to 0, my meter wasnīt on spot but the middle one of the three, I have moved it to the highest one. New glass arrived today (SIGMA 24-70mm f2.8 IF EX DG HSM ) and colour etc seems much better than with other lenses, all I ahve don...

Maybe just me or I have a rubbish K3
I've found the WB and exposure to be good enough for most every shot I've taken on the K-30. Each new camera makes a point of saying the metering is better than the last one, but it's already reached a level that I'm happy with. I'm after more dynamic range, more low light sensitivity/ability wi...
