Pentax K-5?
Stefan, I’ll try to briefly outline some further thoughts on the sensor issue. First of all I believe Nikon - certainly in the past - have some sort of sensor co-development alliance with Sony, in which case they do have in-house capabilities, perhaps with a stake in relevant patents, IP etc. ...

Pentax K-5?
I'm no market expert and not pretending to be one. :) Pentax K-X seems to appeal to a lot of people, the Sony a500 has precisely the same sensor for example but the a500 is hardly sold it seems... which makes you wonder what Pentax did right with the K-X. It's probably the form factor that does i...

K7 FPS and in-camera noise reduction
I don't know, I haven't tested it. It depends how quickly it does the NR. How quick it does the NR isn't important right if it first upload the image in the buffer the sensor is ready to make the other photo, so it shouldn't have an impact on shooting speed but I can just as easily be wrong though. ...

How would you improve your Pentax SLR?
A sensor measuring 36x24mm, of course!. A threaded shutter button. The ability to shoot in b&w. I know this can be done, but it involves pushing buttons in the menu and a lot of faffing about. My Canon A70 compact is always set to b&w. Conversion after the shot is a bit of a pain. I like to see the ...

ISO performance from the K-x FPS and 18mp from the 7D AF speed from the D300 Tiltable screen from the Sony A550 IQ and K-mount from Pentax All in a K10D body. :D Isn't the ISO performance from the 7D better then the K-X? Here we go the Sony a500 use the same sensor as the K-X So why take ...

I wonder why most of you haven't jumped ship yet :D Because the 7D hasn't got the tiltable screen of the A550, the AF speed of the D300, the IQ and K-mount from Pentax and the iso performance of the K-x :roll: It does however have a pretty good 18mp sensor and excellent fps from the 7D. Actu...

... so we all want a 7D it seems, I wonder why most of you haven't jumped ship yet :D I don't. Too much Pentax gear and the K10/K20 works perfectly well for what I do. If we jumped ship every time a manufacturer introduced a newer better model we'd be changing brands a dozen times a year. I am g...

I'm happy with my trusty old istDL. Well, maybe .... 12 mp sensor. Split screen for focusing. I think that's all I'd want...for now :D

Ever since the MZ5n I've wanted to see the panoramic mask in the view finder & film plane? sensor. I know we can all use PP to crop any way we like but how many of you have used this feature? It concentrates the pano minded photographer in such a way that it can become addictive to the point where f...

For my K10D: Something equivalent to the off the film flash metering I enjoy on my LX. Pentax could do it on the istD, I think; why can't it be done on later versions? I've heard arguments that the reflective nature of the sensor mitigates against it, but films have varying reflectivity. With my...

How would you improve your Pentax SLR?
oh I thought of something else, somehow link the AF system to white ballance so the AF is accurate under all lighting conditions. It's irritating that it goes funny under tungsten light, right when you want to be using f/1.4 because it's dark so don't have the depth of field to accomodate out of...

I'd like a CMOS sensor fitted in my KM, How would that improve the image quality, Paul? I always thought the 10mp CCD produced excellent images, particularly at low ISO values. Regards, Andrew

Is that still so with the K7, i thought they improved that quite a bit. BTW for the ones wanting Faster AF the 645D has a new SOFAX (AF sensor) lets hope it boost performance :) Maybe so, but the question was how to improve MY Pentax, which is a K10D ;) glad they're working on it/have fixed it t...

The K-x is the successor to the K-m and has a very fine CMOS sensor, probably the best 12MP example around at the moment.

Erm... I actually really love my K20D. Me too - in my original post I was thinking about how I'd want to improve on it if I replace it, and I could only think of the screen, mount and 100% VF (and I've already bought a Katz Eye split screen). Maybe full-frame at some distant date if the bulk can b...
