Pentax's
First let me say that my first DSLR is still at the North Pole awaiting delivery by Reindeer Express, so I will not not in the market for a K20D for some time, that said it is fun speculating on what might / might not be included. Ben hints of features that will improve his workflow as a professi...

[quote:3faed57c01="ChrisA"]Wait and see what DPR says about it, though, eh, George? ;) If it was 30 Megapixel, Full Frame Sensor, 20 FPS and came with a perfect 10-500 compact kit lens and cost £99.00 PA would still find fault! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: that would be quite something though...

K100D and InfraRed
...and Tim the Ammonyte has got some lovely IR shots with his *istDS, which uses the same sensor as your K100D, so it should be fine. Some here: https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=40153&highlight=#40153 :D Dan

K100D and InfraRed
Hmmm, I wonder how you get the IR filter off the sensor... I've got a chisel and a mallet. :shock: :D Anyone had this done? Know how much it costs? Dan

K100D or K10D + Prime
Pentax Users, Some forum wisdom would be much appreciated. I’ll be buying a DSLR when I’m back in the UK in Jan (currently resident in Ethiopia). Having done the research, and looked at pics on Flickr you’ll be pleased to hear my preference was for Pentax. As a newbie (currently have quite a good...

K100D or K10D + Prime
Andrew welcome to the board! I still have an Ist Ds (6MP) which I am happy with. One big advantage when travelling is that the K100D(s) takes normal batteries, not the special ones needed for the K10D. However the K10D is a superb camera from all I have read and the photos I have seen. I shall ...

K100D or K10D + Prime
those are smart questions that get asked alot...a quick search of the forums will yeild a ton of results, but to get you started: ask yourself what types of photos do you like to take? which camera suits your needs best? can your computer handle the bigger files from the k10? you do real...

K100D or K10D + Prime
Everything is rumour at the moment but it looks like both probably. The general concensus seems to be that there'll be a new flagship to replace the K10D and that most of the K10D's features will be found in a new body that'll be about the same size as the K100D (a K200D with the 10MP sensor). I wo...

SD memory card
Thanks Matt. Clarky, think of filling in some bureaucratic form, where your address has to be put into little boxes, one for each letter. If the designer of the address only allowed 25 boxes for the first line, then you could have, say: "25 Hill Street", but not: "1037A Upper St...

New K10D - sort of...
No explanation... had to have it shipped to the main repair facility 1500+ miles away. :-) So I wasn't really able to talk to anyone directly about the issues. Anyway, the invoice says they "replaced the printed circuit board and image sensor, adjusted and calibrated all circuits. Replaced m...

Testing Shake Reduction on a K100D (camera+washing machine)
Re-Matts reply; I tried to snap away before the "SR" had locked on.......and found I couldn't, or maybe I wasn't quick enough. My K10D doesn't mess about when it comes to SR, it seems to work as soon as the lens is in focus so I dont see how Jonathan's problem could be Matts sugestion...

Testing Shake Reduction on a K100D (camera+washing machine)
I doubt the SR is not working - but lets see some proof ;) And welcome to the forum! Thanks! I'm not sure whether I want it to be faulty or not - if it's functional, great, and if it's not, then there's free improvement to be had with my kit, which is also good. So pick a subject, focus ca...

Testing Shake Reduction on a K100D (camera+washing machine)
Jonathan: Are you expecting too much from the SR I wonder? As for it making a noise, the only time I can hear my sensor moving is when It vibrates to clean, your description of been able to hear the sensor while the shutter is open seems a bit odd, I just tried a long exposure and had to put my ear ...

Pentax DL2 + Sigma F2.8 EX MACRO
Hello, 1 There is not really any such thing as a film lens or a digital lens. Lenses which are described as "digital lenses" may be designed for a smaller sensor than a 35mm frame, and they may have a more parallel light path in order to improve sensor performance, but they work in ex...

Question about K100D SR
Hi there, I'm new to both Pentax cameras and DLSRs in general, so bear with me. I bought a refurb K100D body from SRS microsystems the other day, and after playing around with it a bit have noticed something (which I think) is a little odd about the SR. Basically if the shutter is set to somethi...

Pentax K100 - Autofocus not working
Hi and welcome to the forum. First, check that focus confirmation sound is turned on in custom settings. Do you get the focus confirmation beep when focussing manually? You should hear it. Do you get the focus confirmation hexagon in the viewfinder? You should see it. Have you checked th...

Focal length in SR for manual lenses
A 50mm lens is always a 50mm lens regardless of what film or sensor size you put behind it.

Focal length in SR for manual lenses
It's getting there, certainly for the APS-C sized sensors. The problem really arises with compact cameras as the size of the sensor is so variable. As a consequence it's difficult to relate to the actual focal length, hence the reference to "35mm-equivalent". Some are even marked up in ...
