Strange issue with GX20, anyone else had it?
The little shake hand in the viewfinder comes on with my DA40mm when switched on and goes out when off. Thanks Mike. Oh well more to investigate then. The DA40 was a 2nd hand lens I got from a little shop in IoW so may not have been kept as clean as my lenses have been I suppose. (Goes to find so...

Pentax KX
I've taken about 15,000 shots with my K-x and here are my impressions. Note: I only shoot to RAW dng, not to jpeg. Good sensor produces great quality. Perfectly usable, in fact jolly good, at ISO 800 though a little washed out, and still usuable at ASA 1600 though quite a lot of post-processing n...

Musings on a K20D and carpets
Perpared to be bored to death but I thought some of you might be interested, can you push a K20D to the limits photographing carpets? Read on... Way back in February I was called by a wholesale carpet retailer asking me to quote for shooting carpet samples for a retailing website. Most of you...

K-R is here!
I have noticed that my K200d (same sensor as K10D) seems to give MUCH cleaner images at low ISO than the K-7 :shock: This is on the pixel level though. The K-7 probably beats it at 400: what do you think Mike?

K-R is here!
Looks a nice solid camera to me. I have a K-x and the K-r is very much the kind I'd buy today. OTOH Pentax may be setting themselves up here by keeping to the two model approach. When it's time to replace my K-x, I'll have the choice only of moving sideways to a similar camera with a similar though ...

K-m sensor manafactuer?
Amstrad :lol: :lol: :lol: All Pentax D-SLR's with the exception of the K20D and the K-7 (Samsung) have used sensors from Sony. The one in the K-m was previously used in the K10D and K200D (and Nikon D200, etc).

K-m sensor manafactuer?
Theres me thinking my K10d was based around a shreddie :D Lets not forget that the 645D has a Kodak sensor :D When I bought the K10 the sensor had been used in quite a few dslrs and has been used in quite a few more since then, I guess Sony sold it on very well. If I am not mistaken Sony s...

K-m sensor manafactuer?
I do wonder whether Pentax tweaked it a bit, as my K-m seems to behave very differently to a friend's Sony DSLR which most likely uses the same sensor.

K-m sensor manafactuer?
I do wonder whether Pentax tweaked it a bit, as my K-m seems to behave very differently to a friend's Sony DSLR which most likely uses the same sensor. generally speaking, both Pentax and Nikon have managed to get a lot more out of various Sony sensors than Sony have in their own-brand cameras (the ...

K-m sensor manafactuer?
I don't think Nikon or Canon is a swear word , along with Pentax their much the same to me it's the glass you use and how you see things, I have Pentax, because I have a lot of K fit lens, that's the only reason, no brand slave here, I thought the sensor was Sony .
