? - Hoya 52mm HRT Circular Polarising & UV Lens Filter
UV filters don't have much use anymore because the lens coatings and the filter in front of the sensor already cuts UV light so you might be better of not adding another piece of glass but that's something for you to decide. As for the PL, I use it all the time, with a bit of an overcast you can ...

rumor of Pentax K5 ???
Rumours abound! It was muted that the K7 may appear with the 12 meg sensor out of the K-x, as a mid range model. We can only wait and see...:wink:

rumor of Pentax K5 ???
It was muted that the K7 may appear with the 12 meg sensor out of the K-x, as a mid range model. That doesn't sound very useful - what's the market? As a Kx owner I'm waiting for a K7 replacement before stepping-up, and a K7 owner would be better just buying a Kx body for the high-iso (and getting...

rumor of Pentax K5 ???
I'm also happy with the two camera line up although something like the K200D might appeal to some that want something as easy to use as the K-X but want the weather-sealing and the focus conformation in the viewfinder, I think that might work at around the £500 to £600 mark. I don't see a gap to fi...

D..m you womble. I have been waiting to crack that K9 one for ages:|:| Actually the next one out will go away from the normal in having the camera controls laid out for Landscape mode and it will be a redesign to allow the primary axis to be in portrait mode. the model will have a suffix to desig...

rumor of Pentax K5 ???
I think a problem is that a number of folks have the impression that the sensor in the K7 is not up with the competition and struggles at higher ISOs. There may no truth to this - I'm in no position to say - but once ideas like this take hold in the market they are darned hard to shift, whatever the...

There should be room for more than 2 models, why not? My thoughts:- K-x - Entry Level Leave it as it is. It's a cracking camera, drop the price. £349 body only or £449 with twin DAL lens kit - 18-55 & 50-200 K300 - Mid Level (could call this K-5) New model, K200 AND K20D replacemen...

Two things I'd like. Square sensor. No more twisting and turning just cropping. WIFI. At the local park where I work part time in the summer we have (among other things) a Nikon 200 with WIFI in the main pavilion which we use at dances etc. This transmits across the ballroom (approx 50...

rumor of Pentax K5 ???
Coming back to possible K7 replacement, nobody has mentioned a swivel LCD in their wish list. Not like the Nik variety, but similar to the one on the Optio 750Z (which I think is still one of the best Compacts around). But also I would be happier if they got the basics right first (like faster a...

rumor of Pentax K5 ???
Not a K5 but a K4 - go figure. From a source in the industry: To be announced in September (Photokina??), using a Sony sensor, maybe the K-X one or more likely the new 14MP CMOS (as in the A-550 maybe?). K-x Af system. Usual waterproof Mg body, better ergonomics than the K7 - seems folks compl...

rumor of Pentax K5 ???
For the life of me I cannot see the point of 9fps if the AF system is not up to scratch (is the K-x AF any better than the K-7?) And yes, I know it's all down to personal preference, just because I think AF is slow it doesn't mean others do. :wink: It certainly looks like the Sony A-550 sens...

k7 af system
The K7 is also the only Pentax with an extra sensor for the AF that adjust the AF to the type/colour of light so that it is more accurate. And also you can adjust the AF of 20 lenses (right?) if one front or back focus.

Birthday present for mum
I think the two main reasons for going for K100D over the ist cameras are: (1) Pentax really got the JPEG processing right in the later cameras - so if your mum isn't going to want to spend her time converting RAW images, the K100D and D Super are about as good as JPEGs got from any 6MP camera (i...

Yes, shake reduction, dust removal, an excellent sensor, handy features but full manual operation as well, runs on AA batteries... everything here except a video mode.

A2 prints fromK7 vs K10D
Having moved from the GX10 to the K20D I've definitely seen the benefits of the increased image detail the new sensor provides..I frequently print 18x12 and honestly believe that my prints now contain more detail. Another advantage of the larger sensor is the "cropability"...large, detailed prin...

A2 prints fromK7 vs K10D
The chip in the K7 is an upgrade of the K20D chip and from what i understand Pentax did it mostly themselves but I could be wrong. Don't get me wrong the K7 has a good sensor and you very possibly can see the merits of the higher pixel count in your large prints. Maybe someone can offer you a ...

A2 prints fromK7 vs K10D
If you're doing landscape work on a tripod at ISO100 then I'd stick with the K10D - I still think the CCD sensor looks better at base ISO than the later CMOS-sensored cameras do. I also happen to think the later cameras (K20D, K-7, K-x) look better at higher (200+) ISO values though. You said you...
