Why do you pick a Pentax DSLR over a point and shoot or cell phone? The answers to that question are typically why I want to pick a Pentax for video. Outside of the stills only features, such as pixel shift/ HDR modes, the Pentax offers a rugged body with weather sealing, great image quality, fo...

pentax is known for releasing odd, eccentric one off models anyways. It would not kill the company and might even help to simply release a "V" or "Cinema" version of k70 and k1 just to shut me up. :D:D:D I'd genuinely be purchasing a K-70 if it addressed some of the points I mentioned above. I t...

You say these are just firmware issues but perhaps the processing power is simply not available to carry them out with video... Perhaps they should ask the Pentax Engineers from 2009/2010 how they did it with the K-x, K-7 and K-5 models? I can't know the specifics of why they haven't improved, be...

Meanwhile, back at the thread's purpose... ePHOTOzine gives it five stars for everything. The only things they didn't like were : auto white balance could be better, no built in flash-unit, USB 2 / UHS-I (not 3 and II respectively) and slow live view shutter response and focus And it wasn...

Meanwhile, back at the thread's purpose... the threads purpose was to discus the camera review and one of the issues is video. I didn't write to give an opinion on the review, but to discuss one of the camera's shortcomings which is mentioned in the review. also, the reason I shoot pentax to...

also the reason I shoot pentax today was becuase in the 80's the yearbook and photography club in my old highschool had Pentax k1000's (the volkswagen bug of cameras) for students to learn on, and today... every kid in highschool and post secondary who is learning film making and photography is buyi...

It took Pentax thirteen years to introduce a FF DSLR from the launch date of the *istD. I think the K-7 was their first DSLR with video launched in 2009 so give it time for them to introduce top end video in their DSLR's. A lot of us previously expressed dismay at Pentax for not introducing a FF...

Somehow I wonder whether Pentax would ever think that a customer who's been with the brand for 30 years would ever want more sophisticated video features ?!? I think the marketing to and understanding of target audience can get very skewed now indeed. I think that Pentax most likely DO think they...

What if you want them to be as good as they were? Well I can’t so no to that but I honestly think they poured all available resources into the K-1. And those resources are limited so choices had to be made. Personally I really hope — and Pentax through interviews have alluded to this — that they ...

Going back to the 4K video issue, apparently a major factor is the heat generated; Fuji models with 4K have a heat sink which increases weight. The Nikon D5 limits the 4K clips to 3 minutes. So it's not a simple software tweak as some claim, it requires a dedicated structure which would increase wei...

Referring to the noise site, man that K-5 still punches well above it's weight, even today. Video wise, Pentax shouldn't be looking at 4k any time soon. They need to get the basics right before they tackle something like that. Otherwise they'll just get hammered for it. On that note I'm in...

Getting back to Pentax K1 reviews, I've just spotted that DxO Mark have finally got around to reviewing and testing the K1. Not only have they tested it they rank it as the 5th best Camera they have ever tested, not bad for a first attempt at a FF.

K3 II Interval Composite Mode Stops
Mag07, mine seems to work fine. I've only tested it up to 20 shots so far, but it seems to count accurately, and shows an 'interval composite complete' message at the end. I have it set on composite/average, save process unchecked, interval 2 seconds, variable number of shots, and start interval as ...

K1 v K5iis
So isn't there much difference between the K3 and K1, John? It's not so much that as them being very different propositions. For example, the K-1 is superb, but full frame lenses will cost serious money and are big and heavy. By comparison, the K-3 is smaller, lighter and we probably have the lenses...

K1 v K5iis
Thanks K10D, I'm in two minds whether to upgrade from the K5iis to a K1, don't particularly need the full frame format as the 645 is used for landscapes, portraits etc, From a bird in flight shoot at the weekend, if the K1's focussing response is faster, which from comments on this thread and...
