Initial thought on new K3
I admire your lateral approach. The OP complains that the camera is too heavy, so you suggest making it even heavier. It's perhaps a good thing that you are not a captain on a Philipine ferry. "Sir, we have 400 passengers on board, and the ferry is only licensed for 180." "Good point, No. ...

Initial thought on new K3
the thing is do you use your left or right eye as that can make a lot of difference, my strongest eye is my left so when i tilt the camera to portrait, being right handed, my hands are in exactly the same operating poition as landscape , so left underneath for support and right now resting on top w...

Initial thought on new K3
where does going into portrait position create contortion Nigel , i just turn the camera 90 degrees anti clockwise , my grip on it does not alter ,my right hand just goes from vertical to horizontal , the left hand does not move just stays as the support hand Ha I was thinking the same thing. If ...

K3 - high ISO noise
The auto-focussing is miles better on the K3 though! I definitely agree with that! My K5 plus Sigma 70-300 would take a noisy age trying to find focus at gigs. The K3 plus Sigma 70-200 fixed focus much more quickly, accurately, and noiselessly!

K3 - high ISO noise
If you have desribed the two lenses correctly then to compare the CAMERA AF speeds is like comparing apples with stage coaches ! The Sigma 70-300 has a simple screw drive AF whereas the 70-200 (costing around 8 x as much !) has the HSM fast motor driven AF. If you do, indeed, have BOTH lenses th...

K3 receives unsolicited compliment
Someone recently asked me how we got our backgrounds fuzzy. I thought that was an excellent question, as it showed they'd seen and identified something they liked but didn't know how to reproduce. Led to a conversation on Aperture/Av settings and how to maximise the capabilities of the gear they h...

K3 receives unsolicited compliment
Whenever I've been asked about the out of focus background thing by someone with a compact or bridge camera, invariably I find that the only way to get any effect worthwhile for demonstration is to stand way back and zoom in to maximum on the subject. Plus you need to isolate the subject from the s...

K3 receives unsolicited compliment
Yes, that would need rather a wide aperture to see much out of focus! I often speak to work colleagues who are wanting to get better photographs, but who instead of reading a good book about it and investing in a quality DSLR system, choose instead to buy what they see as a very sophisticated all-i...

K3 receives unsolicited compliment
' that's really cheating you're doing there, you know' .... Exactly what I used to think back when I first started shooting digital (2Mp Olympus - those were the days). As far as I was concerned, if you had to tweak it, it didn't count! Because you couldn't mess around with film (or so I though...

New firmware K-3/K-S1/K-S2
I've just updated my K3 and have noticed the rear LCD turns on as soon as I touch the shutter release just to focus. I'm sure this didn't happen before the firmware update and think there could be an issue with the battery draining quicker if the LCD keeps turning itself on. Can someone with the pr...

New firmware K-3/K-S1/K-S2
I had not considered that. I have a 150-450mm on pre-order from SRS so I hope I can get full use out of it with my K5II-s. I was waiting to see what the successor to the K3 was like or possibly the FF before thinking of upgrading the K5II-s. If it’s just some of the Quick-Shift functionality that...

New firmware K-3/K-S1/K-S2
Hi, I've found same too. Clicking preview on on off switch turns it off. I don't think it did it before. Off on travels Monday. Can we backtrack?

New firmware K-3/K-S1/K-S2
I've just gone back to 1.11 and everythings OK. Not good by Pentax though releasing a firmware update with a bug, do they not test before they release. It took me about 10 seconds to notice the bug.
