K10D is Official on Pentax Canada
Hi Don, The Sony ICX493AQA sensor is (again apparently) the same as in both the Alpha and the Nikon D80. Cheers Liam

K10D is Official on Pentax Canada
Bang for buck, what does the K10D offer to most of us, that the Sony alpha 100 doesn't at several hundred dollars cheaper? OK, I know it is compatible with our range of lenses. What else? I'm just purposely throwing petrol on an already blazing fire here. I'll be buying a K10D too. I'm just a ...

K10D is Official on Pentax Canada
what the hell people!!!!!!!! 919US at B&H.... thats awesome!!!!!! ZaphodB... were you complaining about the price??? Yes, I was and I am. I don't live in the US. I can't get it for the equivalent of $919. The only online shop currently listing a price (Park Cameras) wants £999. That translate...

K10D is Official on Pentax Canada
Happily, I think the new Nikon D80, which might be some £300 cheaper in the UK and has a similar or same sensor, but is otherwise less well specified, may drag down the price of the K10D. Although the K10D is aimed at the D200, I suspect its main conpetition may be from the D80. On a happier note...

K10D is Official on Pentax Canada
Yes my budget will stretch to that... just! I wasn't sure if I should pay the extra expenditure as I am quite new to all this, but I also wanted to make sure that I had both a decent body and lens, and if that means spending a little more initially, to save money in the future, I am quite happy t...

K10D is Official on Pentax Canada
Sorry for the following "newbie" type questions: No need to apologise, we all started from nothing. Is noise at high iso's affected by the lens also or is it just affected by the capabilities of the sensor? Will the 16-45 suffer less noise than the 18-55? Noise is caused by the se...

k10d delayed?
The reason the focal length is needed for the SR is not whether to apply more or less, but how far to move the sensor, for a given cameras movement. As the image magnification on the sensor varies for the FL, so does the correction movement. I suspect that applying high degrees of SR on long FL lens...

ZigView
Hi, does anyone use one of these.. http://www.zigview.co.uk/zigview-R.htm and the new swivel version which is about to be launched.. http://www.zigview.co.uk/S2.htm I'd love the swivel one, as that has got to be the gadget, but at that price (£249) I couldn't justify it (could even ...

Future Pentax cameras
The K10D is in fact a pro-spec camera. If the mythical K1D ever shows up, it'll probably be an all-metal body and a Samsung sensor. Hopefully a sensor with an aspect ratio more like 4:5 or 3:4 than 2:3, for the portrait and wedding market. That would be quite a coup!!

Tamron SP AF 28-75mm f2.8 XR Di LD Aspherical IF Lens
Some people would consider that it's not a very good focal length range for an APS-C sized sensor. It will equate roughly to 35mm to 105mm. Personally I am waiting for Pentax's new 16-50mm 1:2.8, which will incorporate in-lens focussing. And then perhaps the 50-135mm 1:2.8, if funds permit. ...

About pairing istDS and AF540FGZ
I'm an amateur, I own an istDS and an AF540FGZ, in both manuals they say that is possible to pair both for wireless mode, but I haven't been able to do it, following all steps. Can somebody tell me the steps, or whether I need an extra IR sensor to make the flash work wireless? Thanks

Lens compatability is good news...
Hi Guys, First post here :) I have a sweet old Spotmatic languishing for many years. Was very pleased to see the new DSLRs will take its nice 1.4 Takumar. In fact second hand lens seem to be cheap and in good supply. By the time I can save up for a K model, maybe they will be full frame sensor...

Lens compatability is good news...
Neither Pentax Nikon are not likely to go for full-frame sensors. They've both produced lots of DA leses, and Nikon has publicly stated that they will not make a full-frame sensor. It's a new format. Learn to use it.

Hi Newbie/oldie advice require help appreciated.
Welcome to the board "Pug"! First of all - every bayonet mount lens ever made by Pentax will work on all their DSLRs... with some functions restricted. Bear these points in mind: * The sensor on the digital is smaller than a 35mm frame. You get an effective crop of 1.5x. So, a 50m...

Hi Newbie/oldie advice require help appreciated.
MattMatic, Thank you for the quick response. The 50M 1.7 does have an A setting so i'm glad this lense will be of use. Thanks for the expliantion regarding the compatibility issue and explaining the crop effect you get with the focal lenghts. The 18-55mm lense looks very tempting the 16-45mm coul...

Hi Newbie/oldie advice require help appreciated.
The sensor is effectively a smaller format than 35mm. Therefore, lenses will act as though they were 1.5x their nominal focal length, thinking in 35mm terms. So a 50mm lens, whilst still being a 50mm lens in terms of depth of field and so on, will act as though it were a 75mm lens. This is gre...

K10D release date postponed?
It makes sense that a 6MP chip would give less noise than one with 10MP (for the same size sensor). I would prefer more range at the low ISO end than the high end. 50 would be good, but 100 is better than 200. As long as 400 is very good, and 800 useable, 99% of my photography will be cover...

Death on the dial
Hi Pygmy, have a go with . There is a freeware version, and it appears to be pretty good at cleaning up noise and other artifacts when shooting at high(er) ISOs. It's recommended by people here, in fact I think Matt submitted the profiles for the D. Cheers Liam

Focal length increase
The multiplier applies to "digital" lenses, too. There is no magic about this. A digital sensor is small than a 35mm film frame, so the sensor only captures the central part of the image. The "multiplier" applies to the angle of view that is recorded. For any given lens, ...

Focal length increase
George, It's actually exactly 1.5, not 1.53. The angle of view calculations are always done on the diagonal across the sensor/film ;) Here's a diagram I did waaay back: http://www.photon.me.uk/matt/cameras/pentax/istd_focal.htm Matt
