K20 replacement
The question is Live view. If we are going to use live view then the nose is not an issue here. I would not use the view then correct? But like I said before adding a infrared sensor either by the eye view or when I put my left hand back on the camera again the touch screen is disabled. Mobile...

Eclipse fluid compatibility
Hi, After much lurking and browsing, my first post. Doing a search on all the sensor cleaning discussions I came across a statement by Daniel Bridge here, that Eclipse fluid is not compatible with a K10D sensor. Could Daniel or someone please elaborate, as I've just bought some to use on ...

Eclipse fluid compatibility
Would one not have to be rather vigorous to get the fluid on the sensor?:wink:

Eclipse fluid compatibility
That went though my mind as I believe that what one is cleaning is actually the glass filter and not the sensor itself, perhaps the liquid can flow behind the glass to the sensor by capillary attraction. Greg

Is the K7 already flawed?
One point about lenses that seems to be missed is that most current Pentax lenses are made to suit the APS-C sized sensor and produce a smaller image circle than Canon's L series lenses. This size difference makes them smaller, lighter, and cheaper to produce, yet doesn't compromise image quality...

K20 D Fault?
There's a thread on DPreview with the same problem, and it appeared to be solved simply by cleaning the battery and body contacts. I'm not sure if the K10d and K20d have a supplementary battery like the CMOS battery on a PC, or just use a capacitor for the same trick, but whatever it is, is ...

Should Pentax Produce a Minimal Digital SLR
I loved my mz5. and my k1000. I like my ds2 and my k10's. so what would I do if I were Pentax... stripping out features is IMHO needless... green mode got that covered.... Now taking a lesson from Apple about user interface... If I had the camera on Green Mode or Program, and there was a cu...

Should Pentax Produce a Minimal Digital SLR
Actually I hoped I we would see a kind of back to basics-camera from Pentax when I heard about their focus on all-weather rugged stuff etc. Out comes K-7. Which is no doubt a great camera but not the camera I had hoped for. Especially because I feel I would pay for features I would rather be without...

Should Pentax Produce a Minimal Digital SLR
I would love a basic mechanical digital SLR. Something like a digi Spotmatic or KX would be a dream come true. Something similar has already been made, actually. Epson had a digital rangefinder model a while ago - It was pretty much a Voightlander Bessa R with a sensor, instead of a film chamber. Me...

Joe I think that the Bits and Bytes can take some rocking around till they get mixed up :wink: True?? I'll sleep much better now 8) It takes chips to move the bits and bytes around but I agree they are not that vulnerable. I don't know about that rotational sensor? It could be a personal ideosyncras...

Should Pentax Produce a Minimal Digital SLR
Joe the Shake reduction has being their from the K10D and I haven't heard any problems with it so I wouldn't worry too much. The part I would be the most worried about is the alignment of the mirror, it's quite a preciese piece that part but that has being in a SLR for a long time. Like said mos...

Should Pentax Produce a Minimal Digital SLR
So I say no, Pentax have a rich history and for me, they should make a fully pro, carbon kevlar body with an inner seal system that covers the sensor until a lens is attached, FF sensor, 100% viewfinder, 100% matrix metering and introduce 400, 500 and 600mm lenses!:wink: Regards I'd buy that for ...

Should Pentax Produce a Minimal Digital SLR
to do in camera B&W properly would need a way to change the filter in front of the sensor. The K10D IS the feature stripped enthusiast version, it has only one idiot mode, everything else is creative and useful for something. Even though I use Av nearly all the time, I wouldn't want to lose th...

Should Pentax Produce a Minimal Digital SLR
to do in camera B&W properly would need a way to change the filter in front of the sensor. Simply removing the Bayer array colour filter will do the job. The resolution will increase with 3X for red and blue colours and 2X for green when doing that. You could still shoot colour if you like with ...

Sorry but I don't know what leica is doing, Mongoose. I know that some astro cameras I believe use the filter system but then automated and high end digital camcorders use a sensor for every colour so you have 3 sensors then. For normal users like us that would not be needed but I can see it comin...

KM Help please - No Auto Focus/Shutter release
Have you tried cleaning the lens and body contacts? Thanks Mannesty - yep, cleaned the main contacts together on the lower edge near the lens release button together with the two on "their own" just inside - no change :-( It certainly seems to be something to do with the apperture settings/detect...
