someone above suggested that Pentax would need to go FF to get 3rd place behind Canikon. Last time I checked, Olympus currently hold that spot (on sales figures anyway) and they don't EVEN have an APS-C size sensor. Well said! I think they need better marketing and more store front shelf space, ...

I dont actually want a FF camera for those who targetted some replies at me; I just wanted to see the views Personally, I dunno, yeah it would be good if Pentax could fit FF features and IQ into a APS-C camera, but the question is whether this would be recognised by pro's too If they want to a...

One of the reasons people cite for wanting a 35mm sensor is to be able to continue using old wide angle lenses as such. The price of a good extreme wide angle lens for an APS-C dSLR is about 500 quid, plus or minus. Does anyone that wants full frame really believe that the extra they'd have to p...

One has to question what you were thinking of to invest in 31 prime lenses for a system with "significant limits". Still, I am sure the K30D will meet all your expectations. Well, to be honest, I'm not entirely sure, but I do hope so. Well if you must know I've purchased just one new l...

First, you will never get a 24x36 sensor in K-mount (anti-shake won't allow it ... G I've read that many a times but I wonder if that really is true. Why does anti-shake inhibit a full-frame sensor? Is the image circle exactly 43.267 mm (i.e. diagonal for 24x36)? What is the tolerance? How long is...

The degree of movement might be different but also the mass of the sensor will be much greater as well.

The degree of movement might be different but also the mass of the sensor will be much greater as well. I'm not buying the mass argument. One example: the mass of the lens element that is shifted in the in-lens anti-shake systems certainly is higher than the mass of a full frame sensor. There are a...

If you look at the construction of the SR mech with the sensor mounted... then scale that up to hold the 36x24mm sensor I think you'd have a monster of a camera with a view finder that would probably have to be a lot higher. Also, if you read the comments (even on DPR) it's common knowledge that ...

Yes, the size would go up, but the sensor size would add about 12.5 mm in width and 8.3 mm in height. If you add that to the K10D it's not really C**on size, is it. I also could imagine a construction that might add depth to the camera body but not width/height. But I don't want to get hung up...

But I don't want to get hung up on size/weight at the moment, the original question was why a full frame sensor cannot go with in body anti-shake. OTOH size/weight might be just the point that the advocates of this argument are making. For me, though, it always sounded as if the laws of physics wou...

Where is it written that a FF Pentax must have SR...? The blindingly obvious does not need to be written. Where is it written that a FF Pentax MUST follow all the other along the 'black plastic blob type SLR designed by Canon 30 years ago'....? It's called evolution. Animals or machines designed...

The figures for the sensor don't seem to add up. The dimensions given don't give us a 43mm diagonal do they?

Didn't you say once that you bought many of them prior to the release - which never happened - of the MZ-D? Indeed I did. No affordable digital camera has lasted for very long so far, and it's not because they are mediocre; it's because technology has been moving very fast. I don't think you w...

I don't know what Pentax will do in the future (and I'm pretty sure they have only a vague idea at this point ) but I wouldn't discount the potential of a full frame offering before the turn of the decade given new developments in sensor production. How patient I remain with Pentax is yet to be seen...

K20D LCD Screen
Just out of curiosity, does anybody know who's making the rear screen for the K20D/GX20? I seem to recall reading (though I can't find a link now) that the K10D's came from Sony - which kinda makes sense as the sensors were also sourced from them. Now we're going to be treated to a Samsung/Penta...

K20D LCD Screen
Sorry but if Sony can do it, I don't see why Pentax can't. From what I understand it's not that they can't, it's just that they couldn't while keeping the price down. Pentax need to recoup the costs of developing the new sensor so economies have been made elsewhere, such as retaining the K10D's bod...

SENSOR CLEANING
No do it yourself. Get an Actric Butterfly brush from Visible Dust (a good Canadian comany!), or somethign similar, make sure the battery is fully charged on the camera and give it a go. It is easy.
