Will K5 price be driven down by new mirrorless?
expect the 645 lenses to go up... in value... if Pentax brings out a medium format sized k-01... I imagine a bigger, chunkier k-01, weathersealed, packaged with your choice of K or 645 or 6x7 lens adaptors... with a large sensor that may wind up being cropped to fit image circle for the size lens y...

Will K5 price be driven down by new mirrorless?
I think you are paying for the Marc Newson exclusivity... when the design fans have bought theirs, the price will probably drop to tempt existing Pentaxians and the P&S crowd. Having a high launch price is nothing new for Pentax... I agree that to a certain extent that this is true... However....

K-5 with kit lens, or K-r + extra (better) lens
Hi Simon, I'm new to the Pentax DSLRs (big film user), so my comments are possibly ill informed, but for what they're worth: 1) From the specs the image quality will be higher, but will you 'see' it?, possibly not unless you're pushing the KR to its limit. 2) In the days of film, image qualit...

Why buy Pentax? (k5 mini review)
I see this question asked a lot on this and other forums, and I wanted to introduce myself as a recent Pentax convert and now user of the K-5, give my initial experience of the camera, my reasons for being here as well as having three hours sat on a train to kill thus the originally unintended lengt...

Why buy Pentax? (k5 mini review)
vrapan - I did seriously consider the D7K also, good to hear that you're happy with Pentax. It's a shame that Tokina dont make the 11-16 in the Pentax mount which I have seen so many great images from on Canon forums. Have recently downloaded an image stitching program called Hugin (open source) w...

Will Pentax (and everyone else too) go Full Frame?
I'm happy with the APS-C Sony sensor in my KR. I don't want to lug huge fat lenses around like my pro friends but then I never print above A3 anyway so why would I want the equivalent of a 35mm film frame sensor? I do recall professionals when I was first into photography regarding 35mm as the to...

Am I right in thinking that if(!) Pentax brought out a full frame sensor, we would not have a lot to worry about as all Pentax lenses would work on it. Unless, that is, Ricoh have changed the Pentax philosophy.

My Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 on my K7 is effectively the same size as my 70-200 f/2.8 VR on the D7000. But your 70-200 on APS-C is equivalent to 105-300 FF. I think this is what wvbarnes is getting at. As you've observed, it's not (so much of?) an issue with normal or even wider lenses (in fact FF can be b...

I'm afraid not, Walkeja. Although FF lenses made for Pentax film cameras will work on digital K-mounts, the DA lenses are specifically designed for APS-C and most wouldn't work with a FF sensor. I'd imagine Pentax would implement a 'crop' mode on any FF camera which would still allow you to use DA l...

The term "full-frame" shows sloppy thinking. Pentax's DA lenses are designed for APS-C sensors, so for them (which is most current Pentax lenses), and for all Pentax DSLRs, "full-frame" means APS-C. If people who use this term are referring to a sensor with the dimensions 24x36mm, then the corre...

You didn't say you didn't want to go outside the brand, and your willingness to 'go Nikon' suggested to me that you are the type of person who picks the right tool for the job, rather than limiting yourself to brands. The 8-16mm performs really well on distortion, compared to the Nikon 14-24mm: ...

Will Pentax (and everyone else too) go Full Frame?
If Pentax want to stand out from the crowd then, as someone mentioned on here a few days ago that no-one seemed to pick up on, they should develop a camera with a square sensor. Same width as our current cropped sensor. But same height as width. All DA lenses would work seamlessly No more worryin...

Will Pentax (and everyone else too) go Full Frame?
super fast AF, seriously competent flash system, big bright viewfinder, a very large range of lenses to choose from including legacy lenses, metering that is just amazing These things are not to be overlooked. Right now I have a low-click D700 on loan. The owner, a technophile and casual photograp...

Upgrading from K20D to K5 - is it really worth it?
+1 to all the above. The high ISO capability is most often mentioned. For my purposes the main advantage of the lower noise sensor is the ability to pull up dark areas at low ISO whilst keeping noise minimal. I could show you a direct comparison of a very similar scene I took with the K20 and the...

Upgrading from K20D to K5 - is it really worth it?
I took advantage of the price drops and cashback offer to supplement my K20D with a K5 in January and I've not been disappointed thus far. IMO, the K5 surpasses the K20D in terms of the brightness and coverage of the viewfinder, level of mirror/shutter noise (very much reduced), speed and maximum...
