X-5
Hi All I have an X5. I don't have an iPhone however the X5 is easy to use, versatile with its choice of electronic viewfinder or tiltable back screen for awkward angle shots. I'd have though the X5 would give better results as it has an powerful optical zoom whioh makes it easy to fill the avai...

Upgrade from k10d - new lens or new camera?
What lenses do you have WKG? Possible that with an upgrade to one of the 16MP bodies you'll get more satisfactory results from your current set up. For wildlife I suggest a brighter lens, a 2.8 or 4, such as the DA*300, I was using my K-5 with my 150-500 and still struggled to get decent shutter...

KR TO K30
Have you posted any shots with the K30 you could link me to please. Ian Hi, I have a K-30 also and simply highly recommend it. With the K-30 on run out, I think it was the biggest bang for your buck purchase in a long while. The K-30 is very snappy processor wise so I find it very good to use f...

KR TO K30
I used to have a KX wich is very simular to the KR, and have upgraded to the K30. I think the K30 has slightly better image quality but th KX/KR are very good. I think the metering is a bit better and i think it retains highlights a little easier The K30 also has over advantages though such as du...

KR TO K30
I would go for a K30. I jumped from K-r to K30 and have to say, faster and accurate AF, better grip, weather resistant, focus peaking, dual dials (very addicting), pentaprism, etc. K-r from what i have discovered lighter, thinner, cheaper,a bit longer battery life.

KR TO K30
Thanks for the feed back. I feel the K30 is a better equiped camera compared to the KR or the KX and would offer her more for the money althouth she will have to pay more for that I know. Ian

Q10-now discontinued.
I read an article on this the other day, about how comfortable a buyer felt that they would be looked after by the company. This was both with regards to system cameras (ones that required non standard lenses etc) and with regards to future firmware support to deliver future features back to older ...

Is this normal eg at Jessops
The reason Jessops went downhill was because they actually never stocked anything as most manufacturers closed down their lines of credit with Jessops. Since being taken over by Peter Jones they have lots of stock in of many brands. The problem for Pentax under Hoya was that most distributors wer...

Is this normal eg at Jessops
I wasn't picking on Jessops, particularly. I was a customer of theirs back in the earlier 80's in their first store in Leicester, when I travelled down from Nottingham as astudent - I funded my degree from the proceeds of this equipment. I was sad, but not surprised, to see them fail. I hope they su...

Is this normal eg at Jessops
Last time I was in the Manchester store earlier this year they had brand specific sale advisors for each brand they stocked and the Pentax guys where very very informed about the brand. I was really impressed with this, it was like fresh air as my past experience in Jessops where truly dreadful and ...

K3 and Eye-fi card
I've never had any problems with an Eye-Fi Card on a K-5. If I'm around the house I always use it. It even reaches into the garden. Great for test shots and focus calibration etc. because you can look at the results straight away and compare the shots and decide if you need to re-shoot any. ...

worth upgrade k5IIs to K-3
I'm not going to get into the debate about the IQ benefits or otherwise of a K-3 vs. a K-5 as it has been done to death on here already. I have both K-5IIs and K-3 and find that I instinctively reach for the K-3 every time I go out to take photographs as it is such a great camera to use. The incre...

worth upgrade k5IIs to K-3
Wanted to stay out of this! Doh Cant! For me I had a bit of a shock coming back to the K3, I initially found the noise pretty objectionable and was pretty narked about it, after being spoiled by the D610 and the Fuji X-T1 (Fuji crushes the blacks in it's film simulations, it won't look so noisy but...
