K-7 has image distortion and CA correction
I have long been a Pentax user, a 'stills photographer' and a firm film chap. Video has never interested me, apart from recording TV programs and I take your point John, I have not seen the K 7 yet, only read, probably what you have read about it so far. But for me personally, I would have appreci...

Warranty K10D
I have spoken to the new Pentax repair centre and the backlog of repairs were just due to the “change over” from Pentax themselves, there were a couple of weeks (4-5) when nothing was done. Now they tell me the turn round should be as good as all the others. Let us know how quick or slow they real...

Anyone think Jessops are now kicking themselves?
Oh and when I had dust on my forst DSLR, the fantastic *ist D I approach Jessops and asked how much a pack of swabs and fluid would cost to clean the sensor. I had to explain what I meant numerous times, when the young lady realised - after chatting to her manager, she said that they do not sell ...

Pentax K7 review video
This guy seems to be giving Pentax a pat on the back for the K7D, however I picked up on a couple of clangers. first off he claims poor Pentax users have had to stand by while other manufacturers bring out camera after camera with innovative features........sorry I just had to pick myself up off the...

Pentax K7 review video
Here is another video where there is a short part about the K-7 introduction. There is even a transparent version on display :) Interestingly this video is shot with a Panasonic Lumix GH1 with a 7-14mm lens. four-thirds system has a crop factor of two when i'm correct so it is a 14-28 in 35m...

In your hands the K-7 vs K10D
Alright I had a early K-7 demo model in my hands, it was older then the one use in the youtube video and the software wasn't so great and it had the K20D sensor in it... so yeah not really a K-7 to be honest and they had forgot to turn it off so the battery was dead when I wanted to play with it *si...

K10d and servicing
Hello there, just wondered ,do cameras need a reguler service like a car does? If so where can i have this done. I have tried every store in cardiff, and jessops was the only one who said they could help, but even then they could only get the sensor cleaned! Ps if you have any idea of cost that woul...

K10d and servicing
As far as I know, a camera is not a car, and they usually don't need a "tune up". You might occasionally need to have the sensor cleaned, but if yur are handy with your hands, you should be able to do that yourself. You just need a blower bulb (the Giotto Rocket Blower comes to mind:wink:), and, m...

No AF in K-7 for video
You cannot see through the optical viewfinder while shooting video. This is because the mirror is flipped up to allow the sensor to continually "see" through the lens. The LCD screen is pretty bright and contrasty, though. Auto-focus doesn't work while shooting video. You have to manual-focus, or...

K-7 at SRS on June 6th
Hi Stefan, 'It's very nice' Is that review too short??!!?? :D Yeah a bit, I already hold an early test model but with very old software and the sensor of the K20D so nothing was really usable. So like Mike I'm curious on how well the K7 preforms. I'm sure the photos and high iso noise migh...

K-7 at SRS on June 6th
Well, that was one of the numerous lenses available, they have some nice limiteds as well, it was my choice to attach 60-250 as I know now more-less how it works, so I could compare... As to the firmware, it seems that there is no final firmware yet, I wouldn't be suprised. One more thing I saw on...

K-7 at SRS on June 6th
Oh and Stefan, you were right when you said that when I handled the K-7 I would want one :D. Spot on, you were absolutely right. :D :lol: I knew it and everyone was saying that the price was too high and me only thinking "you haven't hold it in your hands yet" :twisted: :D Also the price is a advic...

K-7 at SRS on June 6th
Well I’m back from a brief visit to SRS. Marred only by my wife’s warning that I’ll be divorced if I come back with a Pentax box! The K7 is VERY nice. Compact but solid. Strangely it doesn't feel very different to my K20 in the hand. Which will be good news for anyone thinking it would be too smal...

K-7 at SRS on June 6th
So aftr all the reviews, could I easily swap the K-m bodyfor a K7 and she who must be obeyed / has no interest in photography notice the difference? Probably not, until she looks at your bank balance... It would be a shame not to get the new WR kit lens though. Re video, it's just the latest k...

K-7 at SRS on June 6th
On another subject entirely, have you tried using the Focus Assist light yet? Would be interesting to see if it could work in a low-contrast situation. Doesn't come out as often as you would expect. That's what really grabbed me about it, low light level focussing performance definately feels great...

K200D SR (Internal Movement)
I'm new to this forum having only recently invested in a DSLR (September 2008) but I am concerned about what I perceive as fault on my camera and I am looking for some advice or reassurance. As stated, I have had the K200D for a number of months and have really enjoyed using it producing what I con...
