K10D or GX10
The k10 and the Samsung GX10 are apparently clones..... I have been trying to research this relationship on the web but have only really found the users manual for the GX10 as no reviews or tests seem to yet exist. Does anyone know if or where there is more info? Some of the stuff I would lik...

K10D or GX10
Hythloday,...thanks for the interesting link. John Riley,.....How were you able to find out that they are both made in the pentax factory please? Did you read this on the web somewhere?....if so, can I have a link/pointer please? I'm not too concerned with any resale value as these cameras b...

K10D or GX10
after 4 years we may hopefully see 'real' digital cameras rather than the same old SLR's with sensor bunged in... The Ammonyte runs away and hides under a rock and waits for the explosion!

K10D or GX10
The Asahi Optical Company started off with the Asahiflex in the 1950s, introduced the Pentax when a fixed pentaprism was added to the cameras in the late 1950s. The cameras were called Asahi Pentax except in the USA where they were Honeywell Pentax, named after the distributer there. Camera mode...

Pentax K10D - Absolute Black Darkness - TEST
Hi John, if you have a look at the 7th post in the thread, there are a couple of pictures taken in daylight, and it does look as though maybe the sensor is faulty. Ther noise reduction removes them, but then it's meant to. :) Cheers Liam

Pentax K10D - Absolute Black Darkness - TEST
Hi Matt, to leave the long exposure shots out for a minute.. this is one he posted earlier. If you look at the full sized jpg (seventh post, second link) there literally hundreds, (maybe even thousands) of dead/hot pixels. It doesn't look normal, and this looks like a normally exposed i...

K10D and AF360FGZ
Sounds like you're right. 3-5 feet at ISO100 should have been fine. Might be worth cleaning the contacts if not may be worth trying under the waranty on the camera. May also be worth seeing if the flash works correctly in manual mode. If so may be more of a metering issue.

My new Pentax K10D : a little marvel
I took mine out for it's first real test this afternoon. I am in love. I don't know if its the SR, the focusing system, something to do with the new sensor or a combination of all of the above but this camera just LOVES my Jappanese built Zeiss 75-300. I've always thought this lens was alright bu...

K10D -sharp or not?
I have a Ds (yet to afford a leaf back, even the K10d) and the sharpness is very poor especially when compared to any Canon DSLr for the simple reason that Canon's sensors are far better. I have a range of Fa* and limited Pentax lenses and the results are still poor when matched with a Canon with ...

K10D -sharp or not?
Sharpness has absolutely nothing to do with the sensor. Sharpness is influenced by the lens and the software. Canon and Nikon over sharpen the images in their camera's which I think is a bad thing. I've been arguing a similar point on another forum with a gentleman who was insisting that lens qual...

Sharpness has absolutely nothing to do with the sensor. Sharpness is influenced by the lens and the software. Canon and Nikon over sharpen the images in their camera's which I think is a bad thing. Of courese sharpness depends on the sensor, and on the AA filter. As Nikon says (see link), sharpness...

K10D - Infrared performance?
Given the cloudy skies here, very few photons in the near infra-red have reached the ground, letalone the sensor on my K10D! I did see somewhere a photo taken in the IR with a K10D, I'll try and dig up the link. EDIT here's the link

K10D - Infrared performance?
I wasn't aware that either camera was capable if IR pics, is there a specific mode or trick with the camera, or are we just talking about adjusting images in photoshop. The sensors in digital cameras are sensitive to IR 'light', but will have some degree of filtering applied to reduce the visible ef...

K10D - Infrared performance?
I might be wrong, but I believe that if you take a color picture and try to get an IR effect, it is possible but it will not be the same than the real IR. If you use an IR filter you will get really some IR light and some near IR light. I think it has to do with the dynamic range of the camera ...

Wireless Controlled Shutter(s)
Hi John Fortunately the innovators at Pentax thought this one out too and included a rear sensor for remote control F in the K10D, works great both front and the rear plus you can set the K10D to auto focus/no auto focus when you press the button.

Pentax Remote Control - Cable or Wireless ?...
You know, you can stand behind the camera and just swing the IR remote around the body to point straight into the sensor. You don't have to be 10 feet away or in the photo at all. Just form a direct line of sight between the IR remote and the camera's sensor, and Bob's your uncle.

K10D battery life
Just a thought - the claims for 500 shots from the battery only talk about flash use - no mention of what prolonged used of Shake Reduction or having the sensor cleaned each time you start the camera up each time. On my third use of the battery I got over 500 shots - and that was with SR + cleani...

K10D Shake reduction - brochure feature absent on camera
I'd questioned the need for this option when I saw it in the on-line manual - surely anti-shake either moves the sensor enough to cancel out shake or it doesn't, I don't see how you can varying degrees of anti-shake (the focal length info is a different matter and is dealt with as such). I reckon...
