What's the difference?
EDR preserves slightly more detail in the highlights at the expense of greater noise in the dark areas. You can achieve a similar result by under exposing then pushing in post processing. Yes that was my understanding as well and since the sensor is the same as the K10D you can say that the dynamic ...

DA / DG/ DL
DA is a Pentax prefix meaning it's optimised for the APS-C sensor found on their DSLR's. The lens produces and image circle to fit the APS-C sensor and will probably cause vignetting if used on a 35mm film camera. DG and DL are found on Sigma's lenses. I've no idea what they mean.

Questions about full frame sensors
Does anyone know when/if Pentax'll bringing out a full frame sensor digital slr? And will it have HD video capability? Also, most digital lenses are made to take advantage of APC size sensors. So if the sensor becomes full frame, does that mean the lenses won't take full advantage of it, since th...

K7D announced in US?
I've long been a believer in waiting for version 2.0 on anything...but as I see it, this is a revision with an existing sensor, so still image quality has got to be good..the video features...I got top quality video cameras already... what this cam brings to the table is the ability to use f1.4, fi...

K7D announced in US?
actually touchscreen or no...to negate the need for sr button on the body, one only needs to: A) improve the sr, so you can leave it on all the time, and not worry about whether it's on a tripod or not... and or: B) add a sensor/switch to the tripod socket, and have the sucker turn off when tri...

Pentax K-M
Sorry for the long reply, but this should help GETTING STARTED - configuring the camera: The camera won't allow you to take pictures with manual lenses until you configure it properly. Press the "menu" button, go right until you see the "Custom Setting" menu, and then go down a few menu pages...

Skylight or UV?
Hi Dave, Lots of controversy on this one. I use a UV on mine, just to stop myself from scratching the front element when cleaning my dandruff away :lol: Image quality can suffer with filters, but my eyes cannot see the difference anyway. A filter will protect you from light cleaning scratches, a...

Skylight or UV?
Skylight warms up the colours slightly I believe. UV filter is becoming less needed, coatings and the glass before the sensor filter UV. And please don't start a topic about filters for protection :roll: There are many points of view on that one. They harm the image quality since you add a pie...

Bird Photographers - How do you handle the noise?
Exposing to the right helps with higher ISO, of course you will not win with sensor behaviour and level of noise it is generating, but delivering more light to the sensor increases the noise to signal ratio, what in turn helps fighting noise. Simple experiment showing that -> in poor light conditio...

K20d settings
Anvh I will try and post some photos if I can work out how to post them.And what settings are you shooting, a photo with EXIF data would be very nice. Also don't expect the photo to be looking perfect on 100% zoom simply zoom to 50% and make a judgement then. Even the smallest movement can make ...

New rumours about the new Pentax
I think the new K? will have interchangeable sensors. Full frame when you need it for the older AF lenses, switch to an APS-C sensor for the current range of lenses. These sensors will be housed in a little case similar to a memory card and slotted in as necessary. A four thirds sensor could be a...
