K5, was it worth the wait?
incorrect, I am not adding a variable. HE introduces a second variable in assuming non existent development on a non existing sensor. at least non existent as far as pentax and other d-slrs on the market. Let me see, how can I put this simply? You are wrong and Smeggy is right. :D

K5, was it worth the wait?
Mind you Vista 64 and Windows 7 64 are not true 64bit anyway, only paired 32bit :P:D this is getting very off-topic, but this is complete twaddle. Back on-topic, I can't see why anyone who shoots RAW and has a decent post-processor like Lightroom or Photoshop would ever use "Extended ISO". Stic...

K5, was it worth the wait?
That's right, there's a base ISO setting and lower settings are applied via electronic compensation. I think I'm right in saying the base ISO for our current cameras is 200. Yes - you're right and I'm aware of that (hence 'hopefully' in my OP), but under the right conditions a low ISO, even if it is...

K5, was it worth the wait?
Lol I do remember that before the K-x the party line was that Pentax retained more detail by allowing more iso noise than the competition. When the K-x came out, the hair shirt was cast off... WTF? While detail is embeddeded in the noise floor you can see the detail better without the noise there. ...

I think most K-7 owners would be better served waiting for the model that supercedes the K-5, if that includes some enhancements to the body rather than just a new sensor (and upgraded af).

K5, was it worth the wait?
Don, haven't hear you talked about the K-R isn't that one good enough? I'm not interested in it. two reasons: One: same imaging sensor as the kx. Two: Not enough advantages over the kx to make it worth the money. It isn't a question of wether or not I can afford the k-5.... I can. For me it...

K5, was it worth the wait?
Don has given us very detailed reasoning on k10 to k5 upgrade. I have a k20 and think for me the k5 does offer more - particularly in the Sensor and AF improvements - what do other k20 owners think:?

Exactly the same. I do a lot of low light shooting so the high ISO performance is worth it alone. An...

Don has given us very detailed reasoning on k10 to k5 upgrade. I have a k20 and think for me the k5 does offer more - particularly in the Sensor and AF improvements - what do other k20 owners think:?

Photokina report
a spirit level within the viewfinder would be a most useful addition. Not there! It's already on the K7, FW1.1, and will certainly be in the K5 ;) You have to enable it within the custom menu. You can also have it shown on the rear LCD while you shoot. I use it all the time :D You even have au...

Bulb mode/ sensor question...
Hi guys...sorry this is perhaps a stupid question but have to clarify. I shoot mostly astro related images and in some cases use an equatorial drive with the camera in Bulb mode, this means the camera rolls very slowly at siderial rate in a clockwise direction with the shutter open. Up until re...

The K20D and later actually lock the sensor in position if SR is switched off. The K10D held it still floating.

John Thank you, this is the information I am looking for and assume the K7 & K5 will be the same. Thank you :) Mike

K-5 / K-7 : eight raw buffer limit exists
Could it be with that in order to achieve the high ISO, severe processing is required which slows down the process. While RAW does not need to have the JPEG conversion, it probably still has processing in it to get the high ISO...just speculating Tim Don't see why? RAW is just the data from the ...
