Sensor cleaning for my K-x
Arctic Butterfly for me every time. I got mine as the gift for a years subscription to digital camera magazine. The magazines ok, but the butterfly is very effective. Davex.

Sensor cleaning for my K-x
Another vote for the Arctic Butterfly here. My reservation with blowers in bodies is that they may dislodge the dust, but there is no control over where it fetches up.

Sensor cleaning for my K-x
I'm voting for Artic Butterfly as well. I dont have a K-x, but do they not have a clean on startup like the K20?

I'm voting for Artic Butterfly as well. I dont have a K-x, but do they not have a clean on startup like the K20? The K-m does, so I assume the K-x does too.

Sensor cleaning for my K-x
The K-x does have the clean on start up, but that isn't getting rid of the dust on the sensor.

Sensor cleaning for my K-x
artic butterfly gets my vote every time. But please be aware that when cleaning that when you do the dust alert don't point camera at a bright window as the image will appear in black on the white LCD screen (showing as a D Negative). I did this and for about six clean's I realised it was the ...

The K-x does have the clean on start up, but that isn't getting rid of the dust on the sensor. In that case go for the Artic Butterfly.

Excellent, thanks for all of the help everyone. :) I'm in the UK, Stefan, so the SRS option will work for me. Best to you all, :) Kev

New to DSLR Buying advice required please.
No doubt about it the K-X is the better camera, there is a newer sensor in it and newer hardware while the body is the same. There is also the K200D, it has the same sensor as the K-M but it has a better body in mine honest opinion. It's still small but slightly larger, it takes AA batteries, it...

K100D replacement
It's a 6MP sensor, which produces 10MB raw files.

K100D replacement
thanks again stefan i think i am getting it now. so the k7 can capture more detail but each pixel as its smaller than a k100s is not as good quality. I suppose this is where larer sensor sizes comes in. Cheers Rich

K100D replacement
Yes that's it and indeed that's one reason to use a larger sensor. The biggest problem is that when the pixels get smaller less light falls on them so they need to amplify the signal more from what I understand.

Very good K7 review from a Leica fan !
He's not the most clued-up reviewer. He has no idea about optimising the focus of a lens on a modern DSLR, and claims the 31mm is soft. It's just not focussed properly. He compares the 31mm with a Summilux mounted on a 135 format sensor with 18MP and no AA filter, and then says the Sumilux is...

Can I buy this just to look at?
It never got to production. It was to have used the same Phillips sensor that Contax used, but when Pentax saw how badly it performed in the Contax they rightly pulled the plug. Unfortunately, it then took a couple of years to bring out the *ist D, and Pentax lost a lot of market share in that t...

HELP!
Aaaaaaaaaaah . Try leaving the batteries out for about a couple of hours after cleaning your contacts My K-x did something very weird once and that's what I was advised to do . Batteries were left our overnight and miraculously all was well after that .
