Wild speculation
[quote:3496ace15f="Anvh"]So if you're going to use your old lenses there is nothing to gain really. There would be something to gain if you were going to use at least one FF lens. The ability to use a mixture of FF and APS-C lenses would be good as it means you won't have to change ALL your lenses. ...

Has this been posted, K-m2 and lenses.
Trouble is they are going to have a hard job doing that. The K-x has certainly hit K-7 sales (from what I have seen on the other Pentax forum) so to bring out a middle ground camera that would no doubt have the K-x sensor and a few more bits off the K-7 (weatherproofing and say focus points/top lcd)...

I recommend the it does a good job at displacing / removing dust particles.

Repacement Focus Screen
- It's fitted now BUT i have dust on my Sensor that compressed air will not move any advice welcome James I think that you are most likely to have dust on the top surface of the new focus screen which will not be removed by compressed air. Can you see the dust through through the view finder?...

AP Gives K7 award of Innovation of the Year 2010
It may be clever, it's just not very useful ;) The potential's there though. If the next generation came with a sensor that could take fore/aft movements along its horizontal axis along with a couple more degrees in each of the other directions, suddenly every single lens you put on the camera becom...

Was the K-m or K-x your first Pentax DSLR?
I bought the K-m because at the time the K-x was not out, but at the price tag of £350 because it was the end of the line at currys i could not refuse it. Because i intend doing wedding photography i needed a 2nd camera so was a toss up between the k-x and k-7. As the k-x has only just been released...

I don't have a *istD, but do have a K110 which has the same sensor. And yes I still use it alongside my K200.

I've been running a *istD since they appeared and am deliriously happy with it. I've thought about 'upgrading' but hearing of so many undesirable qualities that come with the [*istD] successors I'm going to take a lot of convincing to do so. Even with it's mere 6.1mp sensor the picture quality...

A sudy of the effectiveness of the K7 Shake Reduction
A very warm welcome to the forum from me. It's a great pleasure to see a careful look at a subject that, if you've been following the debates about SR here, you may know is quite close to my heart, not least because of all the shockingly bad science and anecdotal non-evidence that abounds and s...

A sudy of the effectiveness of the K7 Shake Reduction
Thanks Chris. Yes I know that it is commonly asserted that SR should be off when mounted on a tripod. My tests were not mounted on a tripod but with the camera firmly clamped to a heavy workbench. Now I believed that assertion until I did my tests which show identical results between SR On and SR Of...

A sudy of the effectiveness of the K7 Shake Reduction
An impressive study. However, if I understand your test correctly, is a camera 'firmly clamped to a heavy workbench' going to replicate what happens when the camera is on the relatively flimsy tripod? Afterall, would not a well fixed camera resist a sgnificant of external movement, let alone that g...

A sudy of the effectiveness of the K7 Shake Reduction
Thanks Alun. With the bench mounted camera I was trying to get a really motionless camera where I could measure image blur free from added motion blur. This I called static blur (which is caused by resolution limits in the lens and sensor). Then I conducted measurements with the hand held camera,...

A sudy of the effectiveness of the K7 Shake Reduction
Thnaks for going to so much trouble and posting this. You add scientific weight to a debate which, until this, has been largely anecdotal and based upon individual experience (which is understandable.) Even camera magazines find it hard to quantify the effectiveness of different SR systems so kind o...

K-7 : help with dust
Hi, i am having trouble with a fairly large piece of something appearing on my pictures. I am using a k-7 and have run a couple of sensor cleaning protocols which cleared up some particles registering on the sensor test. However the original piece of dust is still visible in photographs. The dust...

K-7 : help with dust
I have always been advised against using brush type sensor cleaners by my local Camera shop as they can shed bristles which can get lodged within the Camera. I have used the Pentax Sensor Cleaning kit successfully for 3 years now and have used it on my K7 several times. Available from SRS. Regar...
