RAW processing
I probably wouldn't use a choice of RAW or JPEG as the only determinant of anyones seriousness of intent, but I can understand Manesty's point. I know that many people regard very highly the quality of JPEGs our cameras produce, both in terms of colour and fineness of texture. This obviously resu...

URGENT. AF in movie mode on Kr. How!!!!
Sometimes just recording the event (no matter how badly) is enough... Another thing to bear in mind is the limited length of a single take... Your buffer can fill too fast (use the highest class SD card you have) or the sensor will overheat. These DSLRs aren't really great for this sort of shooting,...

Will Pentax cropped DSLR's be dropped?
It did cross my mind something was amiss. K-m, K-x, K-r all released in September of succeeding years and nothing this year. However the way forward may be to go mirror-less and electronic viewfinder keeping the same sensor size. It is a big change and this might be causing the delays in releasin...

Will Pentax cropped DSLR's be dropped?
I think there'll be a few more crop dslrs yet. FF and mirrorless will probably be introduced alongside them in due course if that's where Pentax decides to go. I think a lot is being read into some very 'high level' ideas coming out of Pentax. The delay in announcing the kr replacement could be p...

I'd be all in favour of a smaller, lighter DSLR - *ist Ds size would be wonderful - unlikely though with all the goodies we now get in camera :lol: I'm sure most electronic components will get smaller and smaller. And he talked about mechanical things (like the SR mechanism, and shutter) being repla...

Although on the other hand, part of me just wants them to remake the MX and slap a 35mm sensor in it! I know what you mean :lol:.

I saw a translated bit from those interviews and I must say it sounds like pentax is considering an evil cam with 4k video... which is something I'd really like to see... everybody seems stuck on the concept that the 645 evil would use the same sensor... I'm not so sure , it could use the next evolu...

Love the 'feel' of my K10D, it was what made me choose the Pentax over the Nikon D80 at the time and I have held off upgrading to a K7/K5 because of the body, though I think I would eventually get used to it though it's fair to say that I wouldn't choose the Pentax now on the ergonomics. Same here t...

Same here the K10D/K20D has perfect ergonomics for me, however I'd love a full frame version 36 x 24mm sensor 24MP+ or even the k-5 sensor in a K20D body. John It's a nice thought, but I don't think our petition of 2 will get very far in Pentax HQ :D

K5 - Something Loose or Normal Behaviour?
Could be the sensor with the sr system it does this on the K-r and is normal

K5 - Something Loose or Normal Behaviour?
It's the sensor. It floats so that it can then move for Shake Reduction. If it were fixed SR would be impossible.

Completely Dejected (auto focus K5)
Even the girlfriend's Lumix pees all over my K5 when it comes to focusing. A compact camera with it's small sensor and massive relative depth of field will always 'pee all over' any DSLR when it comes to focussing in the type of situation you refer to. This is one of the primary reasons a compact ca...

Completely Dejected (auto focus K5)
My feeling is that you're totally misunderstanding something basic. The purpose of adjusting the eyepiece dioptre has nothing to do with the lens focusing, so forget that for a moment. To focus accurately on anything manually, that is by looking to see when it's sharpest, your eye needs to be at res...

Completely Dejected (auto focus K5)
Daydreamjay, if the lens will not focus manually either, then you have a fault somewhere. Maybe there is a misalignment of either the position of the sensor, or the position of the focussing screen. I suspect it's the focussing screen, because if it looks in focus through the lens during a manua...

K-X to K-5 upgrade worthwhile?
Hi All, The current discounts *and* £90 cashback deal on the K5 are seriously tempting me to upgrade from the K-x to K5. However, the more I look into this and the more I read the less sure I become. Initially >£1000 of body for around £600 seemed like a phenomenal deal. The stories of great l...

K-X to K-5 upgrade worthwhile?
Hi, " If you are happy with the results from your K-X and your only limiting factor is your own photography learning curve, then I would say you should stick with the K-X " I agree with the aforesaid, there is so much to learn and take in with photography including getting used to the many co...

K-X to K-5 upgrade worthwhile?
hmmmm I've only done a handful of shoots so far with my K5 and the quality is dysmal and the focus ... well there isn't any. Oh dear - have I made a big mistake ? It might just be that you are yet to get to know your new K-5. It takes a while to learn how it needs setting up for any given shooti...
