So how good is the K-5 sensor
On a different course, with the current interest with the K5 which is surely going to be a positive for Pentax and Hoya, what are the chances of some new lenses being developed, any thoughts as to what may be comming around the corner?

So how good is the K-5 sensor
28, 50, 70 mm versions of old lens designs now in all plastic bodies like the 35mm 2.4.... wr versions of the ltds..... and a 600 mm f5.6 wr.... no need to re-invent the wheel, when you can slip some new tires on your old rims.... the reason I speculate on the 600 is this.... somebody co...

So how good is the K-5 sensor
Personally I would like to see some WR primes @ f2, and a Tele converter. Pentax are you reading this! Seeing more Pentax cameras at any events would be great.

So how good is the K-5 sensor
I have been taking photo's for the past week with my K-5 and am really pleased at the picture quality - I'm shooting at high ISO's I would never have dreamed of attempting with my last camera (Canon 500d). As I work in Jessops, I've had plenty of opportunity to try all the other contenders and am de...

J R Review of KR
Is the video function change from the K-X, i believe they use the same sensor right?

Video: Lens recommendations?
Have mostly stuck with DA* zooms when shooting video on the K-7, mainly for versatility. One thing I did find when shooting speeches at a wedding recently was that the sensor will heat up as well like you had with the 7D. With 2x K-7s we had to keep swapping over to the other camera every 8-10 mi...

Kx to K20
I only have experience of a K100 which does everything I need and more, but I'd love some sort of weather sealing. The LCD screen on the top plate has quite a lot of dust beneath it which suggests there's lots more inside the camera which I can't see! This robustness to which you refer would be...

Kx to K20
the strange thing is i have had more sales this year with the k-x than the gx20 but that could be due to having my 17-50mm on it though. Of course the image is about framing, lighting, exposure and all the rest of the photographer's craft... plus the subject! That's what makes a good picture, not th...

K5 ISO worth the upgrade form K7? Compare and decide.
Hmmm, maybe. But I don't like to blame the equipment until I really make sure its not my fault. I suppose I could use LiveView with contrast focus. My guess is that lens calibration would not fall so much into play as the focus is occurring via the sensor itself. I have not read much on that...

This is the kind of side by side test people have been waiting to see. Confirms the K-5 sensor is 'superior', but that the K-7 isn't quite ready for the bin yet! The softness on the K-5 samples may be a stronger AA filter at work. BUT I am sure the softness would not really translate into prints ...

K5 ISO worth the upgrade form K7? Compare and decide.
The softness on the K-5 samples may be a stronger AA filter at work. BUT I am sure the softness would not really translate into prints that have been post processed. Just like the noise on the K-7 would not, up to ISO800 if not beyond in some cases. Maybe it's better to fully process two or three IS...

Don't think so Stefan. As I understand it, that would just pick up normal camera shake. The issue is the sensor moving relative to the camera body and lens, rather than the whole camera moving. Go back to Falk Lumo's 'white paper' and check what he says. He has provisionally confirmed that the K-5 d...

K5 vs. D7000 & EOS60D
Comparisons between these three cameras images on DPReview here: The K5 is looking class beating in RAW (not so bothered about jpegs) at high ISO 1600+. Though to my eye it does look slightly softer than the others between 200-800. There is little difference between the cameras at 100 (apart...

K5 vs. D7000 & EOS60D
Sorry Gary i haven't said it so well, i meant the class of those cameras. The D7000 is replacing the D90 if i'm correct and the D400 will replace the D300 next year. That means in terms the D7000 can be seen as an entry advance amateur camera The same as the Canon 50D & 60D. It seems that Pentax is...

'F--' K20D loses F Stop info
The camera hasn't been knocked / dropped / immersed perhaps? Is the firmware up to date? If not, try updating it - at least that way, the FW gets a cleanout. Have you tried cleaning the battery terminals (both on the battery and inside the compartment)? Sometimes intermittent, unpredictable bad b...

'F--' K20D loses F Stop info
I can only offer my sympathy. I live in France and my K20 went back to the UK for repair four times. The fifth occasion they replaced it with a K7. The K7 arrived faulty (I think it was a customer return) - it doesn't recognise the lens (comes up with F-- as does your K20), plus other things. So...

I want a K5...NOW!!
I think the extra DR would really suit your type of Photography Pauly. Would love to see what you could do with all that extra detail in the shadows :D Mike your so right, that's why I have waited til now to find out what the range was like on this camera. This is what matters the most to me! T...
