Pentax K-x
Shaky, I think Exmor R is a different sensor design to regular Exmor. I think it's probably best to wait for some samples or a review of either the K-x or Sony A500 to see how this sensor performs. Although I have a suspicion that it is the same sensor as used in the Nikon D90, so it has the pote...

Pentax K-x
Actually I wrote "in a big way" so I don't understand your mis-quote. Please elucidate. :?: Sorry, the bad part was my sentiment... the more lucid colours are bad enough, but that last image cannot be a good way to market a dslr surely. I certainly can't see it making it to the West. I thought p...

Pentax K-x
I may have been a Happy Snappy man before but imho the K-m is more than a step up from a phone or cheap compact. The K-m shares the same sensor as the K10D and the K200D, there's nothing toy-like or cheap about that! :wink: I'm really quite excited about the K-x, if the performance is as good in...

Pentax K-x
Just over a week and 5 pages of comments and not one 'if I want video I'll buy a bloody video camera' post!! :wink: Looks good though, very interested to see the high ISO results. PS Fiona wants a pink one! 6 pages now! :shock: If this response is anything to go by then the K-x will be a succe...

Pentax K-x
It's difficult to make any comment on the IQ until we've seen some samples from the camera. Some may look at results from other cameras employing the same sensor, but until we see how the sensor works in conjunction with the Pentax processing engine any speculation is pretty flawed. I take com...

Pentax K-x
I'm with you on that hefty, it still isn't certain what the sensor make is, or have I missed something? IQ is subjective, the same lens on two different bodies gives different results, likewise two lenses on the same body. Pentax seem to be able to get the best out off their chosen units, lets...

Pentax K-x
I'm with you on that hefty, it still isn't certain what the sensor make is, or have I missed something? I'm not sure there's been any "official" confirmation but I was under the impression it's an open secret that they're using the Sony Exmor sensor as featured in the Sony Alpha 500 / Nikon D90 / Ni...

Pentax K-x
HG the K20 is the 14.6Meg Pentax/Sammy sensor ;) So far the reports of Pentax Nazis forcing one to actually engage the video mode seem to have been exagerated, and the price and other features don't seem to have been overly impacted by its inclusion so I don't see a problem.

K-x - "make it or break it" for Pentax
The K-x seems an excellently spec'd mid/entry level camera with (hopefully) excellent high ISO and IQ performance. :D The omissions of WS, top LCD and focus point confirmation are obvious limitations of the K-m body on which it is based. I suspect that many users would not even notice the lack of...

K-x - "make it or break it" for Pentax
If the sensor provides the expected improved noise performance (at both low and high ISO's), I would seriously consider one for that alone. I was somewhat disappointed that the K7 is no better than the K-20D in that area. Trouble is that as a prospective K-7 buyer I am going to be reluctant to p...

K-x - "make it or break it" for Pentax
I wonder if the K-7 could use the new A550 Sony Exmor 14MP sensor in the future. I don't think that would work at all unless Pentax were to develop a Canon style Mark II nomenclature and I can't see that happening somehow; otherwise it would simply be too confusing. However, in order to retain so...

K-x - "make it or break it" for Pentax
True Greytop, however, who is going to really appreciate full 1080p over 720p. Unless the user has something greater than 42" (more 46" or more) screen, they are not going to notice much of a difference. 720p on my 32" is perfectly acceptable, infact I should say, fantastic. Even BBC only transmit ...

I found a hotpixel on the sensor of my K10D. Should I send it to the service or not?

hotpixel
One hot pixel can be fixed more easily in PP. It's likely that you'll find that the sensor warranty doesn't cover fewer than 'x' hot pixels for that reason.

Pentax Movement in Camera
could this be the stabalising mechanism? Yep. It's the sensor sliding from side to side. There's a slight noise when it slides, and a faint thud as it reaches the limit of its movement. All the Pentax dSLRs with shake reduction do this, as far as I know. Completely normal.

K7 Focus Issues
Doesn't the K7 have a second sensor to overcome front focusing in non-natural lighting? Not sure how well this works though?

Pentax KM/KX - Bulb Mode Practicalities...
Hi there, I bought an aftermarket IR remote to use on my k-m(e-bay)and yes, you have to hold button down, but did you not have to hold down the plunger on the cable release:?: Have tried moving around whilst using remote, you have to be in line of sight of the sensor which is in the hand grip; but ...

Shooting in black & white?
Any monochrome picture you take, whether produced in camera or on your computer, has been created from a colour original. The sensor on a digital camera always records in red, green and blue because that's how it's set up (Google Bayer Pattern for more information). Any monochrome end product is ...
