Advice on upgrading my istDl
I have just gone from an istDL2 to a K7 and, if you have the budget for a K7, I would go for it. The istDL2 did give me some superb pictures - better than its humble specifications would suggest, but with a couple of issues that really got in the way. I found the auto focus on the DL2 really bad, es...

5 hours with a K-x
My daughters Christmas present arrived this morning. I had a few hours to set it up and try it out before gift wrapping it :) From my faithful K100D... I am left feeling a little shocked at how good it is. The speed of it in all facets is fantastic. I though I would miss the top lcd but heck ...

5 hours with a K-x
To be honest the K7 preforms so good as the same as the KX. I've used the Nikon D3000 since that use the same sensor as the KX so they should not be very different in results. The thing is that if you compare the screen results then yes the KX is better but the K7 has more pixels so it isn't ...

5 hours with a K-x
Oh no I'm being stupid again the D3000 doesn't use the same sensor, sorry :oops: It's a Sony sensor though so there is a camera out there with the same sensor, Nikon use Sony a lot and of course Sony does. Nikon D5000 is probably the one. Or probably not :? Will get back on this :oops: ...

5 hours with a K-x
You need to look at the print comparison, that way the size of the photo is the same and then so good as all cameras preform equally. That's right, the "print" tab is the relevant one for doing meaningful comparisons as it normalises the different resolutions. However, even when doing the correc...

K-x review DPReview
he image output at base ISO shows good detail and colors but where the K-x really starts to shine is in low light. Its high ISO JPEGs are possibly the best of all current DSLRs with an APS-C size sensor

K-x review DPReview
actually no. I have my trusted K200d. I actually find K7's body and it's specifications fascinating, but am more convinced by the Kx's sensor. And I can't really give you a good reason why I think so... Maybe if I had the K7 on test for a couple of days (as I had the Kx) I would think otherwise?! ...

Arctic Butterfly (Again)
Presumably the Arctic Butterfly is still the best way to clean a sensor :?: But which one to buy :?:

Arctic Butterfly (Again)
For 'non' stubborn particles I think so. I have kit (cheapest version) and it seems to work well on the very odd occasion that I have used it.

KX and team sports
No problem Geoff. The KX is a very nice camera but you might miss the control you have over it compared to the K10D. I shoot a lot in manual everything so all the extra buttons to change settings is very welcome, there for I would go for a K7 instead of the KX also I don't shoot high iso a lot a...

KX and team sports
great to hear the sensor looks like a winner for sport (higher iso shorter shutterspeeds)! I might well miss the TAv setting which the K10 has and the KX doesnt. Didn't even notice that. :?

DPReview finally do an excellent Pentax test!
The K-x is a newer model than the K-7, so Pentax had the opportunity to incorporate some new secret noise reduction cleverness - that perhaps simply wasn't ready, or thought desirable, for the K-7 - along with a very good sensor. But remember that that sensor has fewer pixels than the K-7's. That...

DPReview finally do an excellent Pentax test!
As for waiting for Pentax to bring out a semi-professional model with relatively low noise: you can carry on waiting for ever for the next model. I say get a K-7 now and enjoy it - until you upgrade to the K-8 or whatever. Its probably 99% down to the new Sony sensor used. Anyway, no hurry .. I a...

DPReview finally do an excellent Pentax test!
Only question is, for Hi-ISO, does it beat the K-7. I think it might. hmmmmm IMO yes and that was enough for me to put off buying a new Pentax body until the next high end model is announced. To be honest I just can't understand why Pentax would offer better ISO performance on a mid entry camera...

DPReview finally do an excellent Pentax test!
It's not so unusual. When the K10D was introduced, Pentax recommended the 6MP alternatives for those to whom low noise was the priority. It's inevitable that lower resolution sensors will be less noisy. There's more to any DSLR than any one parameter in isolation - it's the balance of properties ...

It may not be a big deal to seasoned DSLR users but as the K-x is basically Pentax's entry level offering now I would have thought it is quite an important omission considering its target market.:?: Actually I think it's the other way around: Seasoned DSLR users are the only ones (that I can see) co...
