Excellent K10 review,..but doubts....
I think Viewfinder is rather easily confused, as the following quote suggests: "....after 4 years we may hopefully see 'real' digital cameras rather than the same old SLR's with sensor bunged in..." Can anyone hazard a guess as to what he means? G

MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE NEW PENTAX K10D READ ON >>
So far all the reviews i have read by the experts on this camera have been very good and i suppose they know best. Hi Pete Welcome to the forum. Just remember that most reviews (especially web based ones) are mostly published by techno geeks not PHOTOGRAPHERS and not all pro's take good phot...

How to Clean the mirror ????
Hello All, My first post here! Pentax have just released a new cleaning kit which has a type of "sticky" sponge which leaves no residue. You can use this to remove the spec from the mirror if it really gets on your nerves! Or as the previous posters have suggested leave it. Go...

New K10D V1.10 Firmware
Oooh, I wonder what the k10D could achieve at ISO50? :) I heared the monopolies and mergers commision made them leave it out because it would have eliminated the element of competition ;) No, you're both forgetting that the native ISO of the sensor is 100. To get ISO 50, you'd have to put a r...

Tips and help needed for taking studio portriats
The camera has to be in manual mode. This is always the case with studio flash, on any camera. It means you get totally consistent light, with none of the problems that can affect flash using TTL or P-TTL, such as reflections causing the meter to cut off the flash too early. As for the sync...

K10D - Wish list?
We've had a few topics here singing the praises of Pentax and their new baby but is it what you expected or would have liked? Now this thread is for the negatives about the K10D or rather, a wish list for Pentax's next killer cam. If you've said elsewhere in these forums (fora?) how great it is a...

K10D - Wish list?
old_timer, The AF140C ring flash has no option to set a manual fractional power output. It has two TTL settings F5.6 & F22 which will set some (not all - refer to AF140C manual) cameras to those two apertures automatically. It still relies on the camera's body to use TTL flash control (quenc...

K10D - Wish list?
I was very surprised. :o I am thinking that regular enthusiastic cleaning of the surface with a micro fibre cloth (that maybe was a little dusty although not obviously so) could be the main culprit... I will be more wary from now on. Not a huge problem afterall… just wasn't expecting to see ...

K10D 100 ISO vs K100D 200 ISO
Yes, if both cameras are set to the same ISO, they should give the same result if the aperture and shutter speed are also the same. A comparison test would need to be in all manual mode to avoid differences in metering. The ISO range on Pre K10D cameras is 200 - 3200. On the K10D the addition of ...

K10D 100 ISO vs K100D 200 ISO
The K10D has the 10.2MP sensor as opposed to the 6.1MP of the K100D. As the CCDs are the same dimensions it's obvious that the K10D pixel sites will be smaller. Therefore they will generate less current and will need more amplification. This is why the 10.2MP sensor will be inherently noisier and th...

K10D 100 ISO vs K100D 200 ISO
Hi there, Im not technical when it comes to ISO but as you are probably aware this is to do with sensitivity to light. I beleive the difference between 100 and 200 is minimal but it all depends on the light shooting conditions i beleave. Pete, since you clearly haven't mastered this subject, here...

Full K10D Review in AP
Hi John, Sorry everyone..this is a little off topic.. re "he did better than Ivor Matanle did when covering older ranges" I believe that the main research Mr Matanle does for his AP articles is to search the web...so all the incorrect 'facts' and nonsense that are splashed all ove...

K10D and CCD SP coating question
Hi Not posted for some time as been away busy but have just caught up with all the latest posts relating to the K10D. I recently bought the K10D to go with my film LX (that I still love and use) and the *istds I bought a while back and was most pleased with, plus my large lens selection (new and...

Essentially, there are NO names of any particular designers who had great vision where the SLR camera is concerned. The Ihagee Company in Dresden were the first commercial operation to make a miniature SLR in any volume,...The 'Exacta' in 1936. After WWII japanese companies started to put toge...

K10D dust removal - does it work?
I had a few large spots of dust on the sensor since the day I got my K10D. Been using the dust removal feature about a dozen times, but they just wont go. So I locked up the mirror and blew in some air and the image is now spotless. I can certainly hear and feel the mechanism shake, but has anyo...

K10D dust removal - does it work?
To answer your question - it depends on the type of dust Isn't that a bit like British Rail apologising for delays due to the wrong type of leaves on the track? I have had ONE stubborn bit of dust on the K10D sensor, I just took a cotton swab to it, it got rid of the dust spot ok but now my sen...
