K20D noise reduction at high ISO: Is it worth it?
What if I prefer a bit of noise to missing critical shots? That is truly unacceptable. I am glad this was mentioned because I will watch for this feature. It will certainly keep me from buying any future Pentax camera that lacks the ability to turn that off. I think you might be confusing noise wi...

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: no...

K20D...honest appraisal from users please...
Steve, 1. Not sure - but loads! Having a CMOS sensor (as opposed to CCD) means you get a lot! Several hundred shots - and if you use the grip then you can fit a second battery. 2. Out of the box it is menu based (press the Fn key). However, you can easily assign it to one of the wheels. I norm...

Is there something wrong with my pentax k20d
When you look through the viewfinder you are looking at an optical image vis a pentaprism and mirror, not an EVF like the 9600. When you take the picture the mirror flips up and allows light to pass to the shutter and sensor. That's why the image flickers slightly when you take a shot - your view is...

Is there something wrong with my pentax k20d
Hello Susan if you see them through the viewfinder and on your photos the lesn is dirty. If it's just when you look through your viewfinder it's the viewfinder or mirror and if it's only on your photos it's your sensor. Since it is both clean your lens, i simply use those wipes you get when you...

*bangs head against wall*
There's no accounting for morons. In truth Pentax have too small a market share for Jessops to bother with, but hey, Jessops won't survive 2009. I think your probably right about the market share, only real explanation I can think of for them not stocking. Certainly isn't image and build quality (he...

35mm DA-Limited Macro
In terms of working distance; it says that the minimum focus distance is 13cm, is that from the tip of the lens to the subject, or is the working distance less than the stated focus distance. The focus distance is always the distance from the subject to the sensor, so the distance to the end of the ...

35mm DA-Limited Macro
The field of view is different because the APS-C sensor only sees an area of 23.4x15.6mm whereas a 35mm film frame would see 36x24mm. This means the APS-C sensor only sees the centre of the field of view, in other words a reduced field of view. This is what the 1.5x is all about. The focal length...

K110D Emergency Camera!
Well, the K200D has the same sensor as the much praised K10D, so what would be the difference in spec, apart from the extra wheel?

Anyone got Pentax K-m (2000)?
I believe it's to do with the floating sensor and Shake Reduction system. It's like that with the K10D too, though interestingly not with the K20D. It is normal.

K20ds Here
I wonder why they were faulty in the 1st place. I've had two brand new K20Ds from SRS and both require at least a -10 AF adustment for precise auto focusing with nearly all my lenses. The first was returned and may end up as a refurb, hopefully after being recalibrated by Pentax. The second: I've...

The test chart at 45deg. is accurate if you first aim on the white part of the target and slowly aim down toward the black area, so you know when your sensor (and where your sensor is located) catches the target.

What would be the K30D?
Built-in geotagging & WIFI in an optional grip (these functions to be powered by an additional, but small, battery), higher frame rate, Nikon style creative flash control. FF? Not for me. keep the same sensor and PRIME engine, just improve everything else. Oh, and get rid of live view. P&S cam...

How about a full frame sensor, and some full frame lenses (the Hoya connection?)

What would be the K30D?
I cant see the point of a full frame sensor personally. The camera would cost too much and Pentax probably wouldnt sell enough the make the money back. Even the likes of Nikon havent exactly sold loads of D3's. Then we have to think about the lenses...
