Who has, will have a K-7?
The shutter is closed and the sensor covered when changing lenses, so damage at that point does seem rather unlikely. Just to go back to this, I was using a 17-70 for my first image of the day with no problems. I changed the lens in a dust free enviroment to the 60-250mm and from the second image t...

Who has, will have a K-7?
It may have been in the camera or in the back of the lens and ended up on the sensor after an exposure was made?

k7 firmware
Beware though that there appears to be two variants of the 1.01 firmware. The only way to check these appears to be by inspection of the exif data of a shot using a tool like PhotoMe where it can be found under manufacturing notes. The early variant of V1.01 shows DSP firmware & CPU firmware t...

Samsung NX
If it's got an APS-C sensor, then I would hope it would take K-mount lenses.

Samsung NX
is an old link, but useful for those who don't know this project (like me!:oops:) The sensor size is blanked in the shots so, as a prototype, it could gain a larger MP count before production. That could mean a 20MP sensor (for example) which could find it's way into a Pentax body. It will be ...

Samsung NX
It would be a bold move, but If Samsung intend to go it alone they would have to drop the K mount very quickly before they get into a situation where existing users wont move over because of lens collections, I think if this new model has a K mount then its probably going to be K mount all the way f...

Samsung NX
It's got an EVF, not a mirror and optical VF - that's why they could decrease the lens-mount to sensor distance. Because of that, I presume the lenses must be different. But it seems to hint that the sensor is still the same physical size as APS-C. Matt

Samsung NX
According to the link in SMC's post it does have an APS-C sensor. 4/3rds on APS-C could give vignetting, just thought of that one!:shock: Still don't think it will be K mount though.:wink:

Samsung NX
The lens has two buttons on them... AF and SR maybe, if so no in-body SR then right? As for the K-mount, I believe that the K mount has fixed dimensions and since with NX the distance between the Sensor and the mount is shorter you can not call it a K-mount since no K lens will work on it like it...

Samsung terminates GX
I'd have thought that must call into question the long term viability of Hoya's Pentax badged DSLRs, given that they are all produced in the same factory This alone is unlikely to change direct volume manufacturing costs much, although the overall impact may just be enough to sink Pentax. The bas...

This alone is unlikely to change direct volume manufacturing costs much, although the overall impact may just be enough to sink Pentax. The basic problem is that the operation is too small; whereas Pentax's global market share is skirting around margin of error territory Samsung are in fact right...

I susuect Pentax will surpise us in a few months. I hope so - I'm a bit of a purist and don't want to go the face recognition, scene recognition, movie facility route. If they'd come up with an improved K20, 20 megapixel sensor with no more noise than the K10, I'd have a long term reason to stay...

Canon would get my vote: you can use M42 and almost all K mount glass. I suspect the 7D may also be at the same level as the Nikons for low light performance. Otherwise, I think from limited experience Canon handling is better than Nikon. I thought Nikon could use M42 and K mount with an adapter? N...

Perhaps the most feared division is the Academie Pentaxaise, which comes down very heavily on anybody who dares to admit that they are thinking of switching to another brand. This is only possible with a dispensation from His Holiness and documented proof that you MUST have an 800mm lens and what s...

K20D metering
Just to add a little more info to my previous post (in case it was confusing!)... The Leica M8 has big issues with Infra-Red (IR) bleeding which seriously affected the image quality. M8 users had to put an IR-cut filter on the front of the lens to resolve the issue. Thankfully for those rich enou...

K20D dynamic range at ISO100
would indicate that iso100 has most dynamic range on the k20d, although how they measured this I am unsure. But strangely on the next page where they review the D-range expansion option they have this statement. The K20D offers a dynamic range exansion option, which appears to adapt the applied ...

Is the game Up for Big C and Big N ?
I think two things are missing from the pentax line-up one being a digital 110 slr 2 being a pro calibre compact (with hotshoe, sensor from the k7) remember that camera Pentax released with HP a few years back? put a kmount and new sensor on something like that... no mirror, no pentaprisim, op...

I'm sure he said the sensor (from Kodak) was mounted on the metal plate and associated circuit board by Jenoptic. Hang on, I'll check... Yes, at 3:20. Also sounds like Jenoptic at least have a hand in the control board too, as the sensor board is paired to that. At the start of the video too...
