K3 II AF...
Pentax has not been particularly proactive in pushing these sorts of improvements down the chain. The high res mode seems an easy addition to any camera with capable hardware, which is like down to the k100d. It would be interesting to see if this eventuates as a firmware update or not. Other b...

K3 II AF...
What I want to know is how long will all the internal parts last? Things will have to shake pretty quickly if it actually takes 3 or 4 actual photos to capture 1 image. Then if you are shooting at 1/8000th second (sport etc.) and at 8 frames a second that will have to be pretty dam fast. CHEERS Vi...

I have Budapest on my doorstep when I have time I would be taking lots of urban landscapes and architectural shots and high resolution I am sure would be amazing. If I look back at previous activity most of my pictures are landscape really. And the SR mentioned above. Big plus for me as I try to av...

Now that's what I call a 'pro' camera
Hi all, not logged in for awhile, but a comment on the 'K3II specs leaked online...' thread stirred my curiosity enough to stick the last JPEG from my K5 mk1 into my shuttercount.com 100259! How cool is that! All the paint is still on, no techy issues at all. I suppose I can call myself a profess...

Now that's what I call a 'pro' camera
I personally don't agree with Steve Ledgers assertion that there's no such thing as a 'professional camera, only professional photographers'. It's semantics really. What he's saying is that the classification is determined by a specific user ... So for example, ' I'm a professional and I use a Penta...

Pentax 645Z HDR panorama - 271 mega pixels!
Interesting comment below the article: " I also have 645z and will never go back to full frame. Best and greatest camera to work with I've ever owned" :)

Interesting comment below the article: " I also have 645z and will never go back to full frame. Best and greatest camera to work with I've ever owned" :) Have a look at this comparison with the 5D mkII. It's in Spanish but all you need to know is Canon on the left, 645Z on the right. The 5DI...

User feedback on K-S2
A whisper from the AF and the SR system probably. Fingers crossed mine will be here tomorrow. I'll have to ask Mrs Snap if she can hear those noises, I have the focus/timer "beep" quite loud on the K-5IIs. Any problems I'm sure SRS will be their usual helpful service. :)

User feedback on K-S2
It will be interesting to hear your user feedback Stan. Performance-wise the camera is clearly right up there. The only consistent negative point I keep reading about is the 'grip' , caused by the particular body shape. This presumably will always be linked to individuals hand shapes and sizes, a v...

User feedback on K-S2
I had a day with the K-S2 and 18-50 kit lens yesterday before transferring it to its new owner whose priority was 'something small'. I am a K3 owner and found the S2 a bit small and fiddly for my liking and I never did get used to the ISO adjust being on the 4 way controller. Missed the top screen t...

Can we pull this thread back to User feedback on the K-S2 please. Horst, are you sure you want to put your address on the internet like that?

Pentax K3 II or Olympus OM-D EM-5 II?
Help me with my dilemma, please, Pentaxians! My Pentax k-m has developed a dodgy jog-wheel after nearly 6 years of use/abuse. I have taken many lovely photos with it but as the repair cost for the jog wheel is £80+ if it is actually the jogwheel and £300+ if it's not, and dSLR tech/my photography sk...

Pentax K3 II or Olympus OM-D EM-5 II?
Thanks, John - I thought maybe mirrorless Pentax users might be able to give me some info on their experiences, and there's some general questions in there about wi-fi, GPS etc that maybe people might be able to help me out with. Coming from an entry-level dSLR it is hard for me to decide in what 'w...

Pentax K3 II or Olympus OM-D EM-5 II?
The M/43 system is a little lacking in the macro dept tbh Your old OM lenses will require an adaptor, so will be manual focus only the K3 is currently around 560 at the moment brand new, and some deals includ a free battery grip which does seem a logical upgrade plus the K5ii/S are pretty cheap a...

Pentax K3 II or Olympus OM-D EM-5 II?
Help me with my dilemma, please Well lets see what we can do: Manual focussing aids Pentax offers an optical viewfinder for manual focussing, it is a DSLR after all. Personally I don't find the viewfinder as effective as the older film equivalent SLRs, so I myself have not had as much success ...

Pentax K3 II or Olympus OM-D EM-5 II?
Some great replies so far, thank you! But now you've given me even more choices, that wasn't supposed to happen! XD hogboy, I use entirely old glass with no AF capability so having to manual focus for all lenses is not a big issue for me - I'll never be shooting sports etc so I've never really mi...

Pentax K3 II or Olympus OM-D EM-5 II?
I like the idea of the focus aid zooming happening automatically, but I somehow doubt that will happen when you're using adapted lenses? As in how is the camera body going to know that the lens is being manually focussed if it can't talk to it? As long as this feature can be initiated manually the...
