live view
I think i remember reading that it doesnt use the full resolution of the sensor hence the resolution of the Liveview, so hopefully thats not a problem. but its an interesting point! The lcd can only show 230,000 pixels vs 14.600.000 pixels what the sensor have so why use them all, it will only heat ...

And, just about all manufacturers claim the number of SUBpixels of the LCD display and not the number of pixels. Normally a pixel in a LCD panel has three subpixels (red, green and blue). Camera manufacturers have a nasty habit of using the number of subpixels (marketing dept. again) that also c...

depends on how you see it really. the information coming out from the sensor has subpixels because every pixel only records 1/3th of the light; red, green or blue only after it comes out of the processor that aplies interpolation you cant speak of subpixels anymore. interpolation isn't 100% acurat...

D40, K10 20 200 - Help please!
To touch on the 18-55 kit lens, I heard that the main reason why the MKII was released was to ensure that the K20D could make the most of it's 14.6MP sensor with it's kit lens; so I would imagine that the benefit of having the MKII over the MKI on the K200D will be diluted to some degree. But by ...

D40, K10 20 200 - Help please!
Now theres a choice for you, Johns K10D Personally, the D40 is a bit of a consumer DSLR, aimed at people who want to upgrade from a compact, and built to a price. The K200D however is on a level above the D40, and has the following advantages:- 1. Better viewfinder (even though it is only a pen...

The K200D has no live view feature, you have to look through the viewfinder! With an SLR like the K200D the mirror is in front of the sensor and so you do not get live view like a compact camera unless you indulge in some pretty fiddly engineering. Best wishes, Kris.

Advice please
hi i had a k100d super before my k200d, and also a sony a350 14,2meg dslr, and the difference is not a great deal. my k100d produced stunning pics better than the sony, but the k200 is the same as the k100d, on the k200 on photoshop you can zoom in once more than the k100d before you lose quality. ...

Advice please
I use the 10mp K10D, but take most shots at 6mp, mainly to save hard disk space. (I take a lot of photographs!) I notice little difference between 6mp and 10mp for normal family or hobby shots on the computer screen or in an A4 print, although if someone asked me to photograph their wedding, for exa...

Advice please
Sorry Kris but your answer should hve been "longer" "Yes.....but multiply the focal length by 1.5X" :D:D:D Sorry Alan but that's wrong since the focal length stays the same but because the sensor is smaller it crops the image to an image that looks like it's taken with a 1.5X longer focal length....

Anyone got a K-m?
Hasn't the metering improved with the K200D. The K200D has the same sensor as the K10D and the K-M but is alot newer then the K10D, it would be better to compare it with that one I believe.

bulb mode on the K20d...
Would anyone happen to know if there's any problem with locking the shutter up in bulb mode for ~10mins or more on my Ist DL2? I'm aware that it'll take a fair bite out of the batteries, but is there a risk of 'cooking' the dl2's sensor or anything? It'd be great if someone could confirm it for me. ...

Infra-red on the K20D
The K20D is not the best Pentax DSLR to use for IR images due to it's built-in IR filter. Canon produced a 20Da model specifically for astrophotography. The normal IR filter which sits in front of the sensor is replaced with, near as dammit, plain glass to show the predominant red coloured clouds...

Unprocessed RAW v JPEG print test
RAW stores information in a different way. Essentially RAW data consists of the light values of every cell on the sensor (essentially they are grey values). The RAW file will probably store the configuration of the Bayer filter as well so that the RAW converter can convert and interpolate the light...

Unprocessed RAW v JPEG print test
My understanding is that when shooting in RAW, the RAW file is the equivalent to the film negative, i.e. containing the information as seen by the sensor with no processing applied. Certainly, the RAW file should be saved as is, and copies made in other formats.

My K20D will be arriving tomorrow!
Got my K20D as well - an upgrade from a K10D. No shots to show off yet, but I've had a play with the camera. The Live View is better than I was expecting from the reviews, and it also shows how amazingly well the Shake Reduction works. SR counters larger movements than I would have thought. Watch...

Help with decisions :)
i found my friends k10d to have more iso noise than the k200d, starting at iso 400, but i cant say that they are all like that, the k200d is great up to iso 1100 and then it gets abit noisey after that but well useable at iso 1600. I think it's because the K200d applies more noise redution then the ...

K20D noise reduction at high ISO: Is it worth it?
Thanks for your answer, Anvh! It's so bad. I know it's useful in most of the cases but not in mine. I like taking "star trail" photos and this little feature makes impossible to use this camera for such a photo. I'd have really liked to buy a k20d but I guess I'm not joining the club..:roll: to...
