K10 exposure query
A mains adapter could be used for extremely long exposures, though I would indeed be worried about the sensor over-heating before a battery ran out.

I clean mine with a sensor cleaning swab, Not a new one just one that has already been used for cleaning a sensor but otherwise usable for jobs like that. I also have a home made vacuum, I use a small compressor but a cheap electric tyre inflator will do. I bought a piece of 1/4 in bore plastic tu...

K-x review - essential !!
Ken I might be wrong here (nothing new there!), but for VIDEO isn't the sensor exposed constantly, i.e. there is no shutter speed to adjust? Tony

Well there is a "shutterspeed" to adjust with video, the same way that most digital compacts do not have a shutter and simply activate the sensor for a certain amount of time.

K-x review - essential !!
I might be wrong here (nothing new there!), but for VIDEO isn't the sensor exposed constantly, i.e. there is no shutter speed to adjust? Video is a series of 50 still images per second. CCD cameras work by turning on the sensor for nearly 1/50th sec and charging the sensor to capture the image, then...

Sensor shootout, K7 vs K-X
Comparison between the K7 and the K-X sensor Still need to read it myself but though I would already share it with you. :) ps. updated it with a cleaner link.

Sensor shootout, K7 vs K-X
The conclusion isn't really what I wanted to see. I know the K-7 has a lot more going for it but to see a model costing half the amount getting a sensor with far superior noise control doesn't make me want to run out and buy the more expensive model. At the same time the K-x lacks a lot of the thin...

Sensor shootout, K7 vs K-X
Interesting.... but it's not obvious to me on what output he is making the basis of his comparisons, perhaps I am missing something :?: Are we talking Jpegs straight from the camera at default noise reduction settings or Jpeg from RAW through a converter......?

Sensor shootout, K7 vs K-X
I have`nt read the review yet, But when i first opened RAW images from my K7 i thought that they were very noisy. I soon spotted that the Pentax software displays RAW images with the in Camera adjustments applied. And that as the default colour setting is BRIGHT which applies sharpening and therefo...

Sensor shootout, K7 vs K-X
When shooting RAW, the image the camera displays is the embedded compressed JPEG that is stored inside the RAW file. The RAW image data itself is unaffected by the Bright and Natural settings.

Sensor shootout, K7 vs K-X
You don't view the embedded JEPG when using a proper RAW converter program (as opposed to Pentax's) - a preview is created directly from the RAW data - then the Bright/Natural setting is irrelevant. I don't know who is complaining about noise, but no serious revewier judges a camera's RAW capabil...

Sensor shootout, K7 vs K-X
Silkypix Developer Studio generates a preview directly from the RAW data - so it looks different and more true than what you see with Pentax Lab. Anyway its user interface is so good that I don't want to use anything else. If you want to view the RAW in its natural state, you do not want to use P...

I am seriously looking at getting a KX for a second body to put my DA* 50-135mm on. The high ISO quality will suit my concert / festival photography no end. The images I have seen so far a thigh ISO have really impressed me along with the mentioned a lot faster AF & a lighter body too...
