My kx died, I am skint is a k10d a good idea?
Having used a GX-10 (KD-10) for 3yrs, a K-5 for a year, and having played briefly with a K-x, my comments are as follows (for what they are worth!): 1) GX-10 has a larger and clearer viewfinder than the K-x (and in some ways is clearer than the K-5!) 2) Rear panel button layout on the rear of the ...

Shrinking range of Pentax DSLRS
It all sounds fine to me! However, the only thing that would make me spend money this year is a iq optimized waterproof and rugged thing with a decent lens and big sensor. You don't want to mess around with 5x zoom when you are swimming among corrals or hanging on a cliff. However, I don't expec...

K5 - Help with big decision
I upgraded from k-x to k-5 a couple of weeks ago...last night i started to compare images from both cameras and i must say upgrading was a GREAT decision. I dont shoot birds (literally) myself but ive taken a few action shots and managed sharp images which i never would have got wih my kx. Also, ...

Sensor Cleaning Pentax K-r
Do as needed or auto at start up . Opinions please Both. There's no reason not have it switched on at start up. How often you need to clean the sensor after this depends on a few factors: 1. How often you change lenses 2. How careful you are when you change them (don't leave the body for long ...

Sensor Cleaning Pentax K-r
As long as its not detrimentle to the camera i guess auto will lessen the chance of ruining a good photo opportunity with dust marks

Sensor Cleaning Pentax K-r
I have it on by default. Canikon friends bemused by such a fine feature and the dust preview screen option. The ad hoc option in the menu seems more vigorous I use a hurricane blow brush to clean the protective screen in front of the sensor if persistant dust. I check whenever I'm back from field...

Sensor Cleaning Pentax K-r
I have mine set to shake the sensor on startup. Feels a bit violent but it didn't harm my old GX10 and seems to do no harm on the Kr. I used to use a rocket blower to clean out odd bits of dust - but I had a bit of a disaster with one a few months ago. The blower got some dust in it - so instead ...

Some Pentax Ricoh Insights?
I am not sure what all the panic is about - I am more worried about Pentax using the Sony 20+mp apsc sensor than not introducing something new :shock: Ricoh bought Pentax for a reason and if they take their time for whatever reason to introduce something new then so be it :D I will upgrade fro...

Some Pentax Ricoh Insights?
People elsewhere are getting fairly worked up about the bloke's answer to the inevitabe "FF question". Having read it a second time after a few hours, I am still at a loss to work out why. He essentially gives an extended, marketing-speak 'no comment'. As far as the future health of Pentax is con...

Why a K-5
Any reason why you have not included the D7K? I think it is a lot more on par to the K-5 than the 60D. They have the same sensor, brilliant viewfinder, nice screen and loads of external controls and customisation. However I moved on to the K-5 because the D7K was big and heavy. I also needed ...

Why a K-5
I think the 60D falls even lower than either two, in regard to sensor and build quality. I also found out very recently that it does not have a AF Fine tuning option.... The reason I bought the older 50D rather than 60D was because of the better build quality and lack of AF fine tuning. Would have l...

Why a K-5
Just be aware that the K5 is a relatively new camera and, apart from the unfortunate sensor splodges, does not yet seem to have been fully sorted in the way that perhaps the K20 has. Given Pentax's present situation I wonder if it will ever be.
