nd it needs adaptors like yesterday. Why does it need adaptors? I mean the IQ is probably not the best and since you've lenses that need an adapter i also assume you've a camera that has the right mount with better image quality, so why do it? Also the sensor is very small so it change the angle o...

Q Reviews
The 110 lenses would be wonderfull on it. What would people pay for this camera? Personally I would peek at £300! You will going need to wait long i think... It has a magnesium body, build in SR and a large LCD so it's certainly more then your avereage camera. Forogt to say something about the ...

what is your tip when using manual focus under f2.0?
Unfortunately the screens of most 'crop, sensor cameras are a bit small compared to the full frame ones of older film cameras and the professional DSLRs and quite fiddly to focus by comparison, especially given their shorter focal lengths for a given angle of view. I don't think there are any tip...

Back-up to a K5 : Pentax or Nex ?
Having recently sold my K7 for a good price I'm now considering a back-up camera to my K5 for an unexpected but very welcome 10 day trip to Aus in Nov. and if I like it or it does the job well then I'll keep it for my 4/5 week visit to my sister in NZ next Jan/Feb. Those in the running (or were) ...

Back-up to a K5 : Pentax or Nex ?
I'm new to DSLR, but on balance, surely a sturdy decent specced body with the same mount is the way forward? Would have said a K7, but you've just flogged one :) K10 or K20 for budget? NEX does look an interesting bit of kit though. Just to throw another possibility into the mix, have you conside...

What settings do you use for your K-r jpegs?
The KX came with 'Natural' as the default in the UK. I understand in other countries it was 'Bright'. The KR comes with 'Bright' as the default with the default plus ones I mentioned. As I say Pentax mark these on the scale for all the options. I therefore assume that Pentax have a variable vi...

Really why does Pentax not have an EVIL camera?
I agree that even a modest zoom lens on these so called compact systems are anything but. I've played with the Sony models in Currys. Daft as hell with anything other tan the 16mm lens on and as dear as a KR! I'm fascinated by the prospect of the Q because its scale does mean smaller lenses. The ...

Really why does Pentax not have an EVIL camera?
But that is what I am saying really. Pentax already HAS a lineup of very small very practical excellent quality lenses for decent prices that would suit the size of a smaller format camera whatever you want to call it. I don't think the Q is the answer to the above question firstly because it nee...

Really why does Pentax not have an EVIL camera?
Pentax / Ricoh have a long way to go IMHO. I really hope they have something on the drawing board or in testing. As far as the camera / lens / pocketability issue goes, a lens or two in different pockets and the tiny FLAT camera in another - job done. Though I do agree they may be fiddly (the 3 w...

Really why does Pentax not have an EVIL camera?
Well the Kx is a discontinued camera and not on the same level (and therefore as good a comparison as the Kr) as the NEX 5N. Sensor in the Kx and the Kr are almost the same and so are the photos they create. As for the fact that it's discontinued, doesn't change a thing to the discusion. I only ...

Really why does Pentax not have an EVIL camera?
Kevin, or i miss the point you're trying to make or you are. The NEX is wonderful sample on how small APS-C camera can be but you need to use a lens mount specially designed for it to gain those small sizes. vrapan was suggesting a camera like the nex but designed with a K mount and with that ...

Ricoh already market small sensor modules for the GRX, I can see them interested in an imterchangeable lens version, which is where the Q line fits in.

Ricoh already market small sensor modules for the GRX, I can see them interested in an imterchangeable lens version, which is where the Q line fits in. Those modules are surprisingly expensive though at GBP 200-350 each over here (no idea what they are in the UK). In comparison the adapters for t...

The pixel war
The thing is that people want more pixels, so the manufacturer's know this and they know that it sells cameras. I did a college course a couple of years ago and the tutor used to say that 3-6 million pixels was more than enough, I wonder what he is telling his students now.I cannot imagine needing b...

The pixel war
I think the move to the 24MP Sony sensor is almost inevitable for Pentax's next top model... an exercise in 'keeping up with the Joneses' rather than improving print quality.... at that level even cropping is probably limited as much by the lens as the sensor resolution. But I'm sure Sony's technica...

The pixel war
[quote:3496ace15f="Mike-P"]I still think my K10D produced slightly sharper results than the K20D/K-7/K-5. For me it's a trade off against being able to crop a lot more, especially when shooting aircraft/birds etc. Mike, I wonder whether this is due solely to the change in sensor to CMOS?? Regar...

The pixel war
Mike, I wonder whether this is due solely to the change in sensor to CMOS?? Regards Chris Yup, pretty sure it is. I still prefer the output of the K10D sensor. As I have said before, to me it gives a more glossy look picture whereas the newer models give a matt finish.
