I have gone back to basics and recorded a short clip of 34 secs, which is 94Mb! Reduced in Microsoft Media Player to about 7Mb but unfortunately cannot share as the site says it's the wrong file type. So what is? However, Can I just say it was taken with a static 100mm macro lens in aps-c format (a...

That's sounding cool. I'd suggest creating a youtube or vimeo account, and then uploading your full sized file there. You can then post a link to that here, such as . The current Pentax file format came in in 2012, and replaced a less compressed/larger file type from the K-7/k-5 cameras. The ...

Just remembered I've got another couple of examples on vimeo. Hope the link works like that. For me personally, in terms of what I do with a DSLR for video, I'm not worried at all by a limit of 29 minutes recording, (which is based on an EU tax category restriction). I'd suggest that if yo...

What does "weather resistant" mean?
Last year I purchased a K-3 II in anticipation of an African safari. Indeed, inbetweentimes, the trip changed, to now involve visiting the mountain gorillas of Rwanda! So, I thought I'd be perfectly at home with my "weather resistant" K-3 II. The gorilla trek was, fortunately, at the end of the saf...

What does "weather resistant" mean?
Weather resistant isn't waterproof, but it's all a matter of degree. My cameras happily take rainfall in their stride, but before any lens is changed or a card changed then I do make sure the outside has thoroughly dried off. I also wipe any extended zoom barrel on the lens with a hand to remove any...

What does "weather resistant" mean?
OP. You describe the signs of moisture post-event, and what Johnson's had to say, but not what the camera itself was like when you removed it from your back-pack. Was it wet externally? Given the conditions, could it have suffered condensation internally? This business of water ingress, etc, is a...

Green button on a *istDS
The *ist DS was my first digital camera. I used my M-series lenses on it too. It metered very well with the K and M lenses at all apertures. I remember getting the K10D when it came out and the metering with that and subsequent models was very hit and miss with legacy glass due to a new "bright" foc...

K3 v KP
Why do we think a magnesium alloy body is mid-range? This is a fundamental feature of the flagship line ........That looks a bit more than mid range to me? Nah, sorry John, I think it has 'Scene Modes' on the dial. That brings it back out of the 'flagship' category, don't you think ? These days I...

K3 v KP
Nah, sorry John, I think it has 'Scene Modes' on the dial. That brings it back out of the 'flagship' category, don't you think ? The model dial on the kp is the same as the K1 and K3 (Buth with more user modes), this can be seen clearly on the many photos of the KP on the web. I think Jhon is correc...

K3 v KP
I'm interested in real world results. I couldn't care less where the KP sits in the line up personally. Pentax has been testing the waters with different recipes of similar components for a while now, especially with the K-S line. The KP blurs the traditional model progression, but as always if...

Nah, sorry John, I think it has 'Scene Modes' on the dial. That brings it back out of the 'flagship' category, don't you think ? Nigel, you're not going daft, I'm sure I saw that on some of the early photos of it too. It must have been a design mock up of the camera and presumably Pentax thought ha...

K3 v KP
Richard, they said they will bring Video mode Sensor SR back via firmware, so they would surely build it in to future models from now on ...? .... Well, the high end models at least, where they presumably now are accepting that the user is knowledgeable enough to be able to cope with it! Algernon...

K3 v KP
That might change if Pentax were to give the K-3 line mechanical SR back, but somehow I don't see them doing that. They've recently said they're going to do this, it seems it is just switched off in the firmware (what were they thinking!!) Their thoughts were the sensor shake could be heard in the ...

Lets also not mention triggering an off camera flash/strobe......lol But the rest isnt too bad.....!! Why? No built in flash controller? Admittedly I only discovered wireless on my lowly K30 last night and I have a Metz 50. It is a bloody brilliant feature and my fault for not knowing about it...

TCSTV Review of the KP
"I thought his review what on point. They are a camera store and they see lots of cameras". I can see whe're your'e coming from here Richard, you feel about the KP much as I did about the Nikon Df (Did it really take em four years to come up with that?). However, because they see a lot of cameras...

TCSTV Review of the KP
It's all subjective and I actually don't think Chris Nicholls gives a poor review of the KP. I think he hits on some specific areas where he feels it doesn't justify the cost, especially when comparing to the K70, which I can't disagree with. BTW, I have no hands on experience with either the KP o...

TCSTV Review of the KP
A screen offset say 6 inches to one side will show the same picture that you will see if you move your head 6 inches to the right. It's called parallax. (Sorry about being boring talking about photography :shock: ) So if you position yourself where you can see say a ship tightly framed through a por...
