CPPAA
Can I give a couple of minor corrections: CCD – Charged Coupled Device - An image sensor device. CMOS – Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor - An image sensor device. CCD and CMOS are the underlying technologies used for the image sensors and both have many other uses and implementatio...

CPPAA
Something like: CMOS - Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor Image Sensor. There are two semiconductor technologies used in digital camera image sensors: CMOS and CCD. It has been common practice to (incorrectly) refer to the type of image sensor by the technology used. Maybe add a ...

Ultrafast camera
What? It only has one pixel?:shock: And the acronym steam (for serial time-encoded amplified imaging). The detector doesn't look like full frame to me. It'll never sell! Who would want a crop sensor one pixel steam camera:?: :lol::lol::lol: Prieni

Why did you choose Pentax?
I can’t really remember why I bought my k1000 – in 1981 I think – but it got some heavy use! I still have it but the shutter’s a bit tired. It was the sheer build quality of the old k1000 that meant when considering a DSLR there was no doubt in my mind about buying another Pentax. (The k1000 has ...

Well all the real super pro's use medium format and the Pe...

Why did you choose Pentax?
Well all the real super pro's use medium format and the Pentax 645D is on his why finally, the only question is how much it will cost. :? Also the quality that you get with film 6x45 is probable worse then what you get with an digital APS-C sensor from today so what is good enough? film has excep...

IT's BACK at LAST K20D ***FOR SALE***
Jackie H, what happened to the Pentax K20D? You say you will be without a camera? Not me John it was cross posted the original writer was the disgruntled owner of a new Nikon, was trying to point out that it happens to other makes as well as us and 8 weeks seems to be the time that camera manufactur...

Interesting Olympus
Isn't the Sigma DP1 or something very much like this with a clip on viewfinder? Has a decent sized sensor as well. Mike

Interesting Olympus
Must admit I've not noticed any rumblings about it on Oly forums, not that I frequent them as much these days. But if it is released it would make a seriously good compact tool (4/3 sensor in a compact package) :)

What will you pay for a New K7D then.
Perhaps Terry you should wait before you buy your Canon to see what the new Pentax might be? If the new Pentax is a full frame sensor, I'll be on the look-out for the glut of second-hand, cheapo lenses that will be coming on the market!

RAW & CS3
Malcolm, The RAW format is not just a binary dump of the sensor data. There is a huge amount of EXIF data, plus the embedded JPG. Check out http://thomer.com/howtos/embedded_jpg.html and http://www.rawworkflow.com/rawworkflowcom-download-page/ Can't remember off-hand what size or quality the...

What to take on holiday
If you will be recording mostly memories of the holiday, holiday snaps in other words, I'd probably take just the K100D and 18-55mm. If it gets lost or damaged, they are the cheaper items to replace. Your DA 17-70mm will give you slightly more range of course. You'll also get more images on a car...

Pentax service...
One thing forgot to mention in OP - the K10D seems better than before in that they have re-aligned the sensor so what is horizontal in viewfinder is also horizontal in the picture. Also the back focus problem is not as bad. Andy

Water droplet... WOW
Hi Amin, The following link may help a bit. Basically you have an infra-red beam transmitted to a sensor LED that is connected to a trigger circuit. When something interrupts the beam (eg water drop or insect), the trigger circuit is activated and will then send a signal to fire, eg, a flash...

Camera gear, and holidays abroad in the early 1970's.
I must say I take everything. I'm always worried that if I don't and something breaks that I'll be stuck. Which means 2 SLR bodies & compact camera (non Pentax - eek) 5 lenses and 2 telecons, all with P adaptors Tripod, monopod, gorillapd and bean bag Flash, filters, chargers, enough memory c...
