K7 - K5 - worthwhile upgrade???
another who agrees with Lennybloke, K5 11s is a big improvement over K7 and K5 in terms of image clarity and detail straight from camera with the bulk of shots not requiring sharpening at all plus the thing will focus in almost total darkness , which with some of the Churches i have done it has ha...

K7 - K5 - worthwhile upgrade???
I do hope we're not going back to the 'K-5 vs K-5iis' debate again. I think the case has been virtually proven by so many K-5iis owners on this site and across the World, that the 'iis' does produce sharper images. Regarding the original question in this post, I suppose it depends on the type of...

Any new FF gossip
No ties to Ricoh here, which is almost a blessing. But significant ties to companies such as: Nikon, Canon, (even) Hasselblad. Some thingS that are never heard about at Pentax are: Customer service, and actually answering to professionals. If I were to drop Canon an email (or even pick up the phone)...

Any new FF gossip
Ricoh displayed a 3D model mock up at a show - a lump of non functioning black plastic. They acknowledged that they were indeed working on a FF camera. That's about it. Rumours have included a bunch of specs, and what sensor is going to be used. I'm not sure if any of that was formally announce...

Any new FF gossip
Both the KS1 and the pixel shift were clearly detailed by B&H over two months before they hit the shelves. The only items that B&H has missed were one single Pentax item in five years. My mistake, add to that posting release dates of Sigma lenses for PK that were never quite released -although th...

Kindly supply links to said B&H notices Here is a link that shows the specific release date of the Pentax FA 80-200aw http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1117718-REG/pentax_21330_hd_pentax_d_fa.html It shows that Pentax dropped the ball in claiming that it was going to be released soon (comi...

K3 II power off issue
Update on the current situation: FedEx guy picked it up on 9/9/15 (free of charge). I phoned Johnsons Photopia today and was told it's in the workshop now and they're looking to send it back to me on Monday so I should have it on Tuesday. That would be 6 calendar days turnaround with weekend in the ...

K3 II power off issue
Better looking: don't think that's a factor, only spoke to them on the phone, no video :) Bribe: can't afford it after buying K3 II and Sigma 18-35 Bully: no, I'm a nice guy..... really Lucky: maybe, I had fair bit of luck in life but no lottery win. To be fair, I haven't got it back yet. If ...

K3 II power off issue
Hi Greg. Mine came back at approx 1.00PM. by FedEx. So far all I've done is switch it on and play with the progs. a little. So far it seems OK. As it should. All the bells and whistles seem to be working. I think mine took a little longer because they had to test my DBG5 as well and that needed to b...

K3 II jpg settings
Yes I did access fine sharpening with front dial, changed it with 4 way controller, went back to normal sharpening with front dial and normal was changed as well. I don't think it worked like that on K5 II, I think they were independent.

K3 Prestige Edition valuation please
The guts below the K-S2 are on a par with the K-50 really, at least on paper. Same burst rate, number of focus points etc. I only mention that because the K-S2 and K-5/K-3 are really aimed at two different product levels. The K-3 will have a faster burst rate, more focus points, larger buffer, ...

Dust on sensor
I have been very lucky, though I am careful too - even point the camera downwards when changing lenses, in all the time I've been shooting digital and with all the various cameras I have I have only had the following: 1) Canon G10 compact - had a lot of years of severe battering - falling on conc...

Dust on sensor
Mornin' Rob. My first serious DSLR was the *istD which I took on safari to the Masia Mara. This got quite dusty during my 7 day stay. However I cleand it with a cleaning kit I bought at the then FOCUS show at the NEC. The *istD and the K10 had one hell of a THRRUUMMPP (that's the only way I can des...

Sorry but I really don't understand this mentality that Pentax have to build and sell something because other manufacturers do. We'd have zero choice if everyone made the same thing now wouldn't we? It simply would not matter which brand we bought because they all make the same things. No-one nee...
