Pentax FF Dead, Maybe
Of course, but there's a sensible threshold with this surely? Is anyone that much of a RAW purist in that they want control of the low level processing done to turn the electronic signals come from the sensor into the non processed basic picture? Absolutely, it would take the concept of geekiness to...

Pentax FF Dead, Maybe
The Digital viewfinder if it has one, like the X-5 is horrible to look through at any light. I mean, if you are all so keen to get a small mirrorless, buy a compact with a big zooming range. I believe however, there is nothing equivalent to looking trough the FF viewfinder of a SLR. But for ma...

Pentax FF Dead, Maybe
I've never used an EVF (Pentax don't make one and it's really off topic on this forum) but I'd be very surprised if the electronics could cope with say and f/1.2 lens and a whitish subject without stopping down the lens. Hopefully Pentax will never make one and I'll never need to know. Edit:...

New Laptop for Editing
Buy whatever you fancy mail order and see if it meets your expectations. If not send it back within seven days and get your money back. It's the only way i can really buy anything living in a remote location.

External hard drive with automatic backup software
I have the WD MyPassport external drives, running WD Smartware on Win8. There are 2 types of back-up available to you - one backs up your entire file system, the other lets you select which file folders to back up (Photos / Videos / Documents / Music), as well as selecting individual files within ea...

External hard drive with automatic backup software
I also have a WD Passport and find it easy to use and very reliable and like the ability to select folders/drives to back-up. I didn't find the software particularly intuitive to use at first, especially the "Files not backed up" message mentioned by Steven, but once I got used to it I find it fair...

External hard drive with automatic backup software
I have used the Clickfree products as well, and if I recall they will back up system files etc. so that a full restore of your machine can be done - both data and system files (if you choose those options). I agree, it is simple to use, maintains the native file format and it does work well. But ...

External hard drive with automatic backup software
Just got myself a new Western Digital My Book 2 TB external hard drive for my PC running Win 7. It comes with WD SmartWare - automatic backup software. How good is this software? Is it recommended to use it or just backup myself in a manual way? If I install it, can I bypass it or will take...

Planes and Propellers
I'd limit my shutter speed to 1/350th or less (more prop blur always looks better than not enough). My biggest problems with aircraft are exposure and framing: Exposure against a blue sky isn't too much of a problem, but a white cloudy sky is a real problem if you're not careful. My preferred ...

Planes and Propellers
With framing, I often miss wingtips or tailplanes if framing close to the edges of the frame, most often with silver/grey airliners with slender wings. John. Seen that too many times. People try to zoom in to maximise the size of the aircraft in the picture and end up with a clipped wing or t...

What do you want in a sensor
I went for other, as I just don't think the sensor in my K30 is lacking, it has enough resolution, dynamic range, noise is fine... I think pentax will have a hard time selling me a camera based on sensor improvements. For me it's things like improved af-c with customisation, such as closest focus pr...

What do you want in a sensor
For me, forget about "1st thing".. The last thing I'd want is a higher pixel count. What I would like to see is that more information is available to the guts of the camera's circuitry from the sensor in terms of light, focus, dynamic range, etc. If I were to compare it to a computer's CPU, what ...

Perhaps an irrelevant question...icon in Win
Possibility that you have a corruption in the program file and/or registry. First thing to try though is to right-click on the main icon on your desktop, scroll down to "properties" in the drop-down, and under the "shortcut" tab at the top of the dialog box, you shoule see a button towards the botto...

Perhaps an irrelevant question...icon in Win
My experience is same as Gwyn's. I'm not very technical with computers, so I just see it as the computer reminding me to back-up the files on the hard drive once in a while!

My K30 thoughts
Good review Steve and great shots to go with it- the K30 is a cracking camera for the money especially if brought with the cash back a while ago like we did. I'm looking forward to your review on the 21mm Ltd!

Thanks for putting it back on Shaun. Missed it first time round. I found your voice over very good, relaxing but not boring. Process similar to what I do.
