Hints & Tips
- Shake Reduction - I think you can get blurred images if SR is on and you're mounted on a tripod. - Senor cleaning - Yes it slows down time to shoot. Secondly the sensor cleaning really does not work, but something like an Arctic Butterfly SL700 does (I check my sensor every so often before I go...

Hints & Tips
Just to add: SR is most effective over a short time period. Over time the small differences between the shake sensor and the sensor movement aggregate and produce a blurring of the image. That's why you don't use it for tripod shots (as a rule of thumb). Also, you have to be careful not to be ...

Hints & Tips
Hi Dave welcome to the forum I think the best advice I can offer (and everyone else omitted this) get out as often as possible and experiment, experiment, and experiment some more, the more you use the camera in different modes the better aquainted you will become, OK so you will shoot an awful l...

Nikon lens on K10D
It can't be done. First, even if you can find an adapter, it will not be possible to place the the lens close enough to the sensor to obtain focus on distant objects (with a wide-angle that's anything over about twenty feet). Second, you will lose all automation, including stopping the lens do...

Used/refurb *istD vs K100D/K10D?
Ditto George's comment ;) You forgot one MAJOR difference - Only the *ist-D, *ist-DS and K10D use a pentaprism The others are pentamirrors with smaller and darker viewfinders :( The *ist-DS can still be had refurbished from SRS Microsystems... but the *ist-D still has features that you have...

K10D Vrs K100D
So i am obviously missing something here, what is it ? I don't think I've read anything here that's been anything less than highly complimentary about the K100D, and certainly no derision. You refer to a number of differences between the 10 and the 100, but not the fact that the 10 has a 10 MP ...

My Lunch Today with Pentax
All I can say is this after my lunch with Pentax...Who ever said that Pentax was bound to use the same sensor as Nikon or Sony;) Ah...Life is full of surprises. Better later than not at all.:)

My Lunch Today with Pentax
Lots of lunches Ben :D Interesting, interesting... don't tell me they're going to use the Canon 5D or 1Ds sensor??? :P (I say this absolutely tongue-in-cheek, lest my comment produce a hot debate on the APS-C vs FF yet again :roll:) Matt

My Lunch Today with Pentax
there was supposed to be an 18 mp kodak sensor for the 645d some time ago....maybe that found it's way into the new pentax slr.... I hear kodak is looking into some new (non-bayer) sensor algorythims to get exceptionally low noise images at high iso's....

My Lunch Today with Pentax
I've always thought it possible to build a dslr with a half silvered mirror in the body. you could use the reflected image in a pentaprism viewfinder, and at the same time use the imaging sensor to create a live preview, and use the whole sensor as a lightmeter. Could also rig that setup to shoo...

K100D Question...
You are correct - the LCD is only for viewing after the event. It is only compact digital cameras that have "live preview" on the LCD. It is because they are fundamentally different to digital SLR cameras. You K100D has a mirror and a shutter between the sensor and the lens. For the CCD...

k10 gets camera of the year
Did you catch the price that ABE's of Maine were charging for the camera + kit lends + SD card for $769 (approx £385)? Makes me think the new model is not too far away. Try buying from Abe's of Maine. They will tell you that the price quoted doesn't include the sensor, whcih will be $200 extra. Th...

Tips for Infrared?
Yes, the R72 only lets IR light through, as that is beyond red in the spectrum there's no transmission at all of blue and green light. Logically we would then assume that the meter would read only IR light, but it's not designed for that and there may well be filters in place over the sensor. there'...

New K100D Super
The only thing they seem to have added is SDM lens support. Other than that it's the same beast. Same sensor ("upping the pixel count" isn't as easy as it sounds!!). Interesting about the new flash - they still have plain old TTL mode included :? Matt

New K100D Super
Every manufacturer need to update its existing range periodically, so I can't see what the fuss is about. Had this been a new camera, they'd have called it by a new name. K100D Super tells me it's essentially a K100D body with some enhancements. Actually, it's got several worthwhile enhancement...

New K100D Super
Looks like a nice little set of upgrades to the K100D. One thing though, can AA batteries power SDM? Will they be chaining the power system to Lithium rechargeables? That would be good and bad as having AA support can be rather handy in a tight spot. Like that they kept the 6MP sensor as this mea...
