I've got a K-7 to play with for 2 weeks!!
Congratz Danny! They need to change Pentax Pro Master to Pentax Pro Tester now :wink: Let me be so free to ask the first question then and one which many would like to know about. The Electronic Spirit Level and the fancy stuff like moving the Sensor. If you could write a little explanation ...

Thanks for the ideas guys! The electronic spirit level is actually in 3 places! On the top lcd In the viewfinder On the main LCD when in Live View There is a series of dots that go up and down either side depending on how far you tip it, so it is quite easy to get it level when shooting h...

Thanks for the ideas guys! As for the moving sensor, will try it out another day as the tripod is in the shop, will put it on the list though! Will check back later as I'm getting moaned at for not being in the pub! Might be better testing it when you have had a few in the pub, you co...

I hate to add to your to do list but I am very interested in how much adjustment the sensor shift gives you. I am mainly thinking about macro work where getting the tripod in exactly the right spot can be a pain. Thanks in advance! Kris.

I've got a K-7 to play with for 2 weeks!!
I am amazed by the passions which are being aroused by this video feature. I wonder if Pentax will release a K7 with no video in the 'SP500 Spotmatic' way! (If you know the company's history you will know what I mean). I haven't held a K7 yet, but if I look at my K10 I cannot believe that an ex...

I've got a K-7 to play with for 2 weeks!!
Well, it appears that I've been running on v0.10 firmware! Told me on screen whilst updating it! Had a disclaimer e-mail which basically says the sensor in the test cameras is only 95% complete and that the production firmware is for the production sensor. Google translate gives me 'Test camera i...

Samsung GX20 Image Quality
Hi, Shooting raw on the GX20 it should be exactly the same as the K20d surely as its the same sensor? If so then i think i will buy one. Matt

Samsung GX20 Image Quality
If you take a look at - the GX20 comes out on-top getting a slightly higher mark on Dynamic Range, Low Light ISO, and Colour depth - despite having near identical hardware.. Maybe Samsung know just how to get the best out of their own sensor! I myself came from a K10D to a GX20 and the diffe...

[quote:3496ace15f="Mike-P"]They headline it as a semi-pro body then compare it against a Nikon D5000. Agreed, what the writer as done is basically 'cherry pick' features from other bodies to make a comparison. Making a comparison with the D5000 is laughable really. I'm sure it's a good little ca...

I have seen so many reviews of Pentax cameras with the "Pro-sumer" or "advanced amateur" moniker when it (K10D, K20D, K7) really deserves a pro-moniker due to the features. When I bought my K20D, I researched for months. NO OTHER CAMERA had the flexibility, backward lens compatibility, in camera sta...

Hello + quick question about a lense please!
Traditionally lenses in the 85mm range were great for portraits (head and shoulders) whilst those in the 120mm range were great for headshots only (obviously divide by 1.5 to translate this to digital due to the smaller sensor size to get the same coverage). Use a lens much longer than this and i...

GX20 vs K20D useability?
If you can get a GX-20 from Jacobs for £299 your question answers itself. I have a GX-20 and fundamentally if you get on with the GX-10 you'll get on with the 20. Technically, both use the same Samsung sensor et al and they are the same camera.

GX20 vs K20D useability?
I wonder what the shutter count is on a new Pentax or GX not bought at discount? Not a guess but the actual number. My GX-20 at £299 came in the same box utterly pristine as a new one, all the accessories were in sealed plastic bags. The battery was separate from the camera in a sealed bag. The b...

K-7 Grip
Didn't get a grip with the K-7 for testing, which is a small shame as I am a dedicated grip user, and would have loved to be able to report about it! Ned has posted some pics of it on his blog. The first thought I had was 'it doesn't look as well integrated as the K20D one.' The K20D & grip rea...
