Pentax K1 ii vs Sony a7iii?
I can do this with AF.C, back button focusing, clicking one exposure at a time or a couple: And it doesn't matter about spray as I balance on the rocks, so what is the problem?

Pentax K1 ii vs Sony a7iii?
To be fair, Sony were a bit pants until recently. They were OK for mucking about with manual lenses using adapters and focus peaking, but they've only really got their AF sorted out recently. I've just got a Nikon camera, and in Nikon world everyone's ditching their full frame DSLRs and getting Sony...

People do literally change systems because of bragging rights, it's bizarre. There was a guy on here who switched from Nikon to Pentax and back about four times; I wasn't sure if he had unrealistic expectations about his new kit or he just missed this forum...

Pentax K1 ii vs Sony a7iii?
If I was starting out, and had the money for either, I’d probably go Sony. Their AF is amazing and they do exceptional video. Those are two aspects that are important to me. What made you go with Pentax then? I rolled over from film to Pentax digital bodies, so Fleur and I could share the same...

I'm truly curious why your APS-C camera stopped doing what you wanted because a new full frame camera came out. Can you enlighten us? If you were perfectly happy with it the day previous, what changed? It didn't stop doing anything, as is always the case on a budget it was the best compromise at the...

Pentax K1 ii vs Sony a7iii?
I agree I do like to have the latest gadget, and for image quality my K3ii was more than sufficient, I have many shots of my son posing that would be no better on any brand (possibly better if the person behind had more skill). In the last few weeks though I have got shots of him on a his bike, pa...

Pentax K1 ii vs Sony a7iii?
The K1 was the camera I'd been waiting years for so as to be able to use all the glass I had purchased in the last 40 years or so as intended and not with some odd crop factor was wonderful. I'm pleased the K1 has been developed further as it shows commitment from Ricoh, however whilst the one I've...

It's a bit of a moot point anyway since you can stick those legacy lenses on a Sony (and take advantage of focus peaking which is even better than the split-screens John referred to above).

It's a bit of a moot point anyway since you can stick those legacy lenses on a Sony You certainly can and I may have done that if Ricoh/Pentax hadn't come up with the K-1. But they did so it wasn't necessary! It's better having a native lens for the body rather than fiddle around with adapters. ...

Remembering the K10D
Very impressive images. My K10D is still going strong after 12 years and shows no signs of retiring itself. A really well built "photo machine"!! I use it as my back up to the K3 and am happy with the images produced particularly when using old prime lenses.8)

Remembering the K10D
I keep considering buying a K10D body (again). It was my first Pentax dSLR. With my Katzeye focusing screen (which doesn't fit the K-3), manual focus lenses were a breeze. I find I have to rely on the live-view on the K-3 to get good focus.

K1 Mk 2 review - disappointing to say the least
Yeah, my K1 MkII has been a terrible dissappointment, so much so that I've improved my "keeper rate" significantly. it can't handle ISO6400 at all.. the Dynamic Range is terrible.. it doesn't deal with detail.. it can't cope with subtle shades of colour.. it introduces ...
