Rumours or fact?
A quick 5 minute trawl via Google suggests some speculation in the Sony community that a similar sounding sensor will have autofocus HD video capabilities. But AF isn't in the sensor though.

The sensor obvisously needs the capability (fast data pipes) but you are right. But if it has video it can do it off course. it just need the firmware to do AF contrast so Pentax has to do it themselves. The K-7 had AF video capability to start with didn't it? Yes indeed, the pre production mode...

But if it has video it can do it off course. it just need the firmware to do AF contrast so Pentax has to do it themselves If it were merely a question of firmware (read software), don’t you think Pentax would have got it working on the K7 by now, regardless of the sensor overheating issues?

Lightroom & black & white
Interesting question, and one to which I don't know the answer because I don't have a K7. RAW (or PEF/DNG) frames contain information recorded directly from the sensor without any of the in-camera changes. I thought, until now, that the sensor could only record in colour. If however you cho...

I thought, until now, that the sensor could only record in colour. The sensor still only can records in colour because there is a fixed bayer filter in-front off it, there are sensor without such a filter and they simply record the luminance but they aren't use in standard DSLR cameras.

Hi To Stefan - I read your comments before I sent out the request. When you talk of presets, I would assume that this would alter everyone of my imported images, and still wouldn't give me what I want, e.i. the specific setting for each individual image as set by the K7. Someone mentioned an upgr...

Hi Thanks to everyone who has taken an interest in this subject. To the RAW & Jpeg solution: There is already a solution by using the Pentax utilities that gets the image as interpreted by the camera into a TIFF or Jpeg file. Also I assume that the RAW image is also saved. I've tried to get t...

Presets are very easy to make in lightroom. Just open a photo in develop window, do the developing you want to save (auto's also work but will save the auto action not the values that come from it) Then on the left where you see the history you also see the window presets. Simply click on the +...

k100d super
Yes - good as the ist cameras were at the time, it would be better to look for a K100D - image stabilisation and better JPEG processing. The K100D Super adds a not-terribly-effective sensor cleaning function (but better than not having it) as well as support for the more expensive SDM lenses. ...

k100d super
If the a100 and a200 fill you need what about the Pentax KM? It has the same sensor as the K10D and the K200D and it's still considered as one as the best low ISO sensor from Pentax by some users here. The only thing it doesn't have is weather sealing, no top LCD and it's missing focus point notif...

k100d super
As regards any Pentax owner having battery problems,ONLY ENERGISER LITHIUM batteries should be used,OR high output rechargeables,nothing else is up to it. I bought a used K100D Super off Ebay,tried to get it to work with AAs from my Fuji Superzoom HS20,but the battery warning light kept coming on a...

80-320 No go on K10D
The 80-320mm should work and give excellent results. Have you got the lens set to 'A' if you have try cleaning the contacts on the lens.

80-320 No go on K10D
When set to "A" the lens should work without any problems whatsoever, so clearly something is amiss. I would check that the aperture is closing down pproperly - with the lens off the camera, operate the aperture stop down lever on the back of the lens. Does the aperture move snappily or is it sticky...

80-320 No go on K10D
I would have another go at cleaning the contacts, make sure that all appear to be functioning correctly with regards to the "Springs" also check the stop down lever on the lens to make sure it's operating freely and isn't bent (compare it with the 35-80) As the MZ50 also needs the lens set to "A"...
