more ff rumors
Sorry guys, but my first post ( containing no commentary) reflected how speechless I was at considering these pricing rumours for the long awaited FF, I would be astounded if a £3000 FF was the final outcome after all this procrastinating . Ricoh / Pentax would be living in cuckoo land if this fi...

That's very interesting, where has it gone? I don't have time to test it out now, but I think we get one chance to untick the box, that is, when we post in a thread for the first time. So I'm afraid after that it's back to just ignoring the thread if we don't like it.

Using SSD Drives
SSD is definitely the way to go, though be sure to back up any essential data (the images themselves, Lightroom's catalogues, etc.), to something other than SSD. For all their faults, it's often possible to rescue data from a failing mechanical drive, whereas if your SSD dies, everything on it is li...

Using SSD Drives
Once you install an ssd in your computer there is no going back to tradional hard drives except for data storage. I agree that if your looking at speed an Intel processor is worth looking at first. Ive had my ssd for 2 years now. I would never go back to the older hard drives except for data storag...

Somewhere
Unfortunately there are some people in society that just have to brag about what they possess. Canons and Nikons are no better than Pentax or any other camera for that matter. Remember this....they are still likely to break if dropped off a mountain side, and likely to be rendered useless if dropp...

NEED? No! WANT? Now! Just going back to the point I believe John is making that the humble K-5 gives us everything that most of us will ever need. Even though I've had a K-5 for nearly 4 years and the K-3 for 18 months I've never felt the need to replace the K-5.. even though Nikon have great...

But surely it's irresponsible for those young pixels to be out at late night gigs - call yourself a responsible Pentax owner !!! I try my best to get them all back home before the witching hour....

Having owned most of the K series dslrs, i do find this statement rather puzzling, in what ways are dslrs easier to use ? Viewfinder can be used without having to switch on camera; Long lenses handle better than trying to use a screen image; Pentaprism gives better view that does not lag with action...

Being nosey gets results sometimes! I was given a Kodak Brownie as a child and the first picture I took with it was a steam locomotive with a huge factory chimney sticking out of the top of the boiler. I bought an Exa IIb when I started work and traded it with a jewellery maker for a matched pair o...

My dad was an avid photographer and owned all sorts of cameras through the years as I was growing up. In my early teens I used his 110 and polaroid cameras. At 17, I bought my own first camera with a small gift of money I inherited from my grandmother when she passed away. It was a Nikon FM with...

Photographing fireworķs.
Many years ago I took some handheld with ISO1000 film that I thought looked reasonable, more recently I've found longer exposures with a tripod are much better. Moderately wide angles probably work best - with these at 100m distance infinity focus should be close enough. Given your lens selection I...

Photographing fireworķs.
I always put the camera on F16 ISO 100 Bulb mode on a tripod (but I shoot from the top of a set of steps to ensure if anyone stands in front of me they are not in the shot), and no-one tends to get too close so never had an issue with the tripod being bumped into. I use the IR remote set on press to...

so delayed again
Well said David; I also feel that this could be much ado about nothing having had some extensive use of Nikon D810 and a Canon 6D recentlty just to get a real feel for FF . i needed to get a new second body and eventually went for the K3 II after a comparative test and frankly I ike it much more ...
