DON'T BUY PENTAX DIGITAL LENSES!!!
I'm grateful for the small size of the sensors because not only does it mean my wide-angle lenses can be smaller and lighter, but I don't need such long lenses to get such a telephoto effect. It's great that a 200mm lens on current Pentax digital is like using a 350mm lens on FF. Although I migh...

DON'T BUY PENTAX DIGITAL LENSES!!!
For the friend who located the DA 200 on his LX camera I would like to ask if he used slide film or a negative one. If he used the negative one did he look at the negative strip to look for vigneting because the shop that printed his photos maybe cropped the images and as a result the black circle d...

DON'T BUY PENTAX DIGITAL LENSES!!!
Someone mentioned about technology getting cheaper and a lot more advanced in terms of memory, processors, etc. This is because they are produced on smaller and smaller fabrication processes each year and the amount of materials and energy required to produce them also decreases drastically. With...

DON'T BUY PENTAX DIGITAL LENSES!!!
Yes, my Super A is a good size and weight, jut don't like the positioning of the controls as they are difficult to get to. Imagine a Super A with an ergonomic redesign and the sensor from the K20D. You don't need a large screen on the back either,just enough for the histogram and to get the compo...

DON'T BUY PENTAX DIGITAL LENSES!!!
DON'T BUY PENTAX DIGITAL LENSES. The reason is that these lenses can't be used on analog bodies and on future full-frame sensor digital bodies. The great advantage of Pentax was the compatibility among their products. Where is it now? And not only this. Every TTL flash by Pentax doesn't cooperat...

I want a FF CCD and I will get a Pentax one! Is this an alternative sensor to the CMOS unit currently available? Best regards

Why I do not like non full frame DSLR's...a personal view..
..or in other words, why I would only buy and use a full frame DSLR. Much talk here and other places about the various merits and de-merits of APS and FF sensor cameras. Most of the talk is about pixels, RAW, Jpeg and other technical points largely to do with image quality. Also much talk about t...

Why I do not like non full frame DSLR's...a personal view..
...but for 99% of us a APS sized sensor is big enough. Just because of that reason I don't think Pentax will come with a full-frame sensor (I hate that name because the APS-C is allso a full-frame sensor, but the frame is smaller...). Just a thought, which manufacturer has a 35mm image sensor and...

Why I do not like non full frame DSLR's...a personal view..
Just a thought, which manufacturer has a 35mm image sensor and has manual prime lenses which work on it? I think probably only Kodak, who used Nikon lenses, but the camera is discontinued and not that good for general use anyway. Not sure about the contax, but again I hear the results were not ...

Why I do not like non full frame DSLR's...a personal view..
Hi, Don..no problem, just a little confusion. Will..you kind of made my point..you had to buy a current AF ultrawide zoom to get a really wide view with an APS sensor..but I do not like AF or zooms, which is one reason I want FF or nothing. Golf.."Just a thought, which manufacturer has...

Why I do not like non full frame DSLR's...a personal view..
In favour of smaller sensors Depth of Field! as a photographer who does primarily outdoor landscape and macro that extra 'stop'or so of DOF given by the smaller sensor is invaluable. While a tripod is a great asset for being able to steady camera shake it is not so much help if the subject is mov...

Why I do not like non full frame DSLR's...a personal view..
To go back to Steve's original post, I agree that there is a problem with ultra wide angle for dSLRs. However, I don't think this has that much to do with the sensor size. Indeed, one of the most frequent criticisms of the Canon is the lack of wide primes! Anyway back to the APS sensor. First of all...

Nikon D80 VS Canon Xti VS SOny A100 VS Pentax K10D
I have a Pentax *ist Ds and on the course I'm following I have also used a couple of Canons, 350 and (I think) 300. Now my Pentax is so easy to use in comparison - so much more intuitive, you don't need a third hand to set things. Even the Canon users commented on that! I don't know what the K10D is...

Nikon D80 VS Canon Xti VS SOny A100 VS Pentax K10D
Thank you for your answers. I welcome more comments, if you have any. Especially the kind of lenses I should get in your opinions (brands and focal length). I'd like to know which lenses in those ranges are good and which are not so good. Same kind of things about the accessories. What brand of ...

Important 'hands-on' report of K10D
Actually, Pentax is still a very small company; the tie-up with Samsung is no more than an agreement to cooperate in certain ventures. However, Samsung is rapidly catching up with Sony, and at the present rate will soon be the biggest electronics company in the world. It remains to be seen what ...

Cable release
Your looking for Pentax Remote Control F, £17.99 from Park Cameras, very good price IMO, I've ordered one too. Edit Another good thing about the K10D, you can fire it with the remote from the rear as well as the front (*istD has the sensor at the front only).

K10d: Body only or lens kit?
Just to add a couple of thoughts: The 18-55 isn't a bad lens, just not nearly as good as the 16-45. If you have a choice, go for the 16-45. SRS and Park have it for a crazy £270. The resolution difference between the *ist-D series sensor and the K10D is astonishing - not because there are more p...
