It's interesting in that focus tracking and video are important to me. I find my Pentax cameras frustrating at best during the children's sports days, and have to ore focus my shots at a point I know they'll run over etc. I'd love some tracking to assist with that. Video wise I want to bene...

I was glad to see a good review, though they continue to focus on camera aspects which are less important (focus tracking, number of focus points, weight, lack of mega-expensive lenses, video) and ignore or down-play more important aspects such as build quality, interface, controls, SR, availability...

K-1 firmware update 1.4
I bought my K3 29th January 2015 as the current model. It came with firmware 1.18 from factory, manufactured October 2015 I seem to recall. Funny what is considered 'old' these days. it's a system and should be maintained as such. That's what we expensively buy into. I note Ricoh were happy to updat...

K-1 firmware update 1.4
If Pentax can offer older models new features through a firmware update then they should, just think of the brownie points they would win from loyal owners and incentives to potential new owners. Obviously they cannot always do this for various reasons e.g. physical restrictions but I think if they ...

K-1 firmware update 1.4
Should Ricoh/Pentax really pour resources into fiddling around with their old models (which aren't broken necessitating an update) or look to developing new models? And Pentax's new big thing is focus peaking and improved microdrive support for the *istDS. Who the heck would be interested? We've ...

K-1 firmware update 1.4
Should Ricoh/Pentax really pour resources into fiddling around with their old models At what stage should they walk away? When is old? 1 year? We're seeing very few new feature updates, instead bug fixes and added compatibility for newer lenses, where the older hardware is compatible, to ensure...

K-1 firmware update 1.4
Pentax's new big thing is focus peaking and improved microdrive support for the *istDS. Who the heck would be interested? People with a *istDS! I bet not! And how large would the user base be? A fortune spent on next to nobody. It wasn't long ago someone was wanting to revert their camera to vers...

Others are doing it though, and are still in business, and it's working as a strength for the company. Any specific examples? See comments about having previous posts deleted for mentioning other brands. The Camera Store did a whole on it a while back. Examples are

K-1 firmware update 1.4
The Camera Store did a whole YouTube video on it a while back. That was for 3 cameras in June 2015, mostly fixes and additions for things that should have worked or been available at release, they talk about shipping cameras with unfinished FW, do you think Pentax do that? Here's a question, If ...

The Camera Store did a whole YouTube video on it a while back. That was for 3 cameras in June 2015 It's an example. Manufacturers continue to release firmware upgrades for older models, I just didn't look for a newer video to support this, but google is your friend. I know of one who delivered s...

K-50 photos underexposed
Im aware that its a known issue, but I have seen it here discussed mainly with K-30, so I wanted to confirm that its an issue with K-50 as well and Im willing to bet that it will be an issue for K-70 as well, as its practically the same camera rebranded. So if anyone considers buying these, count my...

K-1 review by Optyczne
Wow, seriously detailed and analytical review. Noise handling in raw came as a surprise just how much it was clear of the competition at iso6400. AF got a Slap due to back focus in 2 tested examples. Well worth a read.

Changing lenses
Back in the day when I had *istD and then K10 and they had the great vroom boom boom shake on the sensor I had a few dust spots from time to time. These were easy to clean with a swab and the correct liquid. However since I had the k5ii and now the K3 and K3ii with the silent high frequency shake on...

Changing lenses
You can't beat a rocket blower. I have a lengthy discipline of blast everything before taking a lens off, blast the new lens and its rear cap, then place the cap on top of it. Remove the old one. Blast it and its rear cap - put the cap on. Hold the camera facing down rock it from left to right while...
