Will I Love the K-5
... how long are you going to wait? The answer to that question has to be, I don't know. K3, K1, who knows? I could live with one QC issue and buy when I was sure it was dealt with, but the K5 seems to suffer from so many seemingly unrelated problems in numerous users hands that I have no confide...

K5 or Kr
here are the pros since the cons are easy to think about because they are the pros of the other camera :wink: Kr - 2 different power supplies - cheaper K5 - better viewfinder - better build quality (though the build quality of the Kr is also very good) - better sensor (don't forget the 14...

K5 or Kr
The k-7 certainly does not sound like a gun going off! It's the same as the k-5 in virtually all but the sensor - which is the same one they used in the k20d, so not up to today's noise standards.

K5 or Kr
The K5 and the K7 are the most silent camera's i've ever heard. The K10D now that one has a click, sound like a Kalashnikov. :shock: The K7 and K5 are much more refined. here is the k10D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnFGY8GhTss and here is the K7 vs D3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-WX...

K5 or Kr
Just expose to the right and all will be fine. The sensor in the K7 is able to bring out a lot more details than the sensor in the Kr, that's why i geuss it's better.

K5 - how high do you set "Auto iso"?
I think it's wise to set the MAX auto ISO to the highest ISO where you find the noise acceptable. I now have mine set as 80-3200 that is good enough for most condition. Also the the sensor doesn't go higher as 3200 ISO i believe so the other ISO settings are done by the firmware/software of th...

K5 - how high do you set "Auto iso"?
Whilst it's great to have the confidence of using auto iso at last I'm only likely to use it for general use anyway so my initial impressions are that Iso 12800 shouldn't have too negative an effect on the shots I'm likely to be taking (travel photos etc), for tripod mounted landscapes I'll always b...

Film Versus Digital
Next few years (5 years?) will see us all moving to mirrorless, they'll end up the size of compacts, lenses will be the size of compacts, and we'll all argue about why DSLR (optical viewfinder / analogue / bigger sensor) is better than mirrorless - or micro-mirrorless (just made that up (the term) -...

Film Versus Digital
I do not understand film fetishists. This is not because I do not appreciate the special qualities of film or the distinctive advantages once you get into larger negatives. After all, I started by shooting and developing my own film. But 35mm film has no advantages over digital, only a laundry list ...

Film Versus Digital
Relative to income, photography has become much cheaper for the average person over the last fifty years, let alone the previous fifty, even taking into account the digital revolution and the seemingly high setup costs. This was the main issue that the OP was raising, I think, even though the threa...

K7 Mk2?
I went for a K7 instead of a K5,yes,the 7 needs lots of light, but it is at least stable. Then I started to think, why didn't Pentax just change the sensor in the K7 and call it a mk2 K7,and while they're at it they could design and develop a high sensitivity CCD sensor!!! I hope you are reading thi...

K7 Mk2?
Pentax did used the K7 as the base and put in a new sensor and a new AF system... one works great the other has some firmware issues it seems :? CCD is now probably out of the way since you can't really film with them i believe because they get too hot and if you plan to sell a lot then CMOS are ...

K7 Mk2?
With studio lights(meaning low iso, due to powerful lights), the kr does not exceed the image quality of the k10, in practical use. It is only in low light or things requiring fast af that the kr beats the k10. If the k5 is capable of making a better image in my studio, I doubt the difference woul...

Movies with the K7! Where do i start?
Well here is the clip! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PAkL2jLSF0 As i said... my focussing is abysmal on this and I aim to make a handle/spoke/arm to enable me to get better purchase and control. Saying that... the glitch is really interesting. it's like the editing technique at the beginn...

Pentax O-GPS1 GPS Unit For Pentax DSLR Cameras.
Never been that interested in geotagging my pictures. It means I can't lie about where they were taken... However th astro tracking feature using the sensor shift is a very interesting development. I'll wait for some user reviews before making my mind up. Of course I'll need a K5 first....birthday...

Do your K5 shots need more sharpening?
There's no harm in incresing the capture sharpening from 25% to whatever suits you. It is a different sensor so it won't look exactly the same as the previous K20D. What is the actual final output for your images, print or web?

Shooting an Infrared Image
I would guess that the K100d would be partially sensitive to infrared. There is a filter infront of the sensor that filter IR out sadly :( I've the same problem with the K10D but if it's a sunny day and you got a tripod you can do IR photography but it takes quite some long shutter times. This...
