Chromatic Abberation for RAW Files?
Welcome to the forum. The first thing to understand about RAW files, both .DNG and .PEF, is that absolutely no processing is applied to them in camera. The RAW image is essentially straight from the sensor. Any adjustments or corrections are then down to you to accomplish with your chosen post-pr...

Chromatic Abberation for RAW Files?
[quote:3496ace15f="McGregNi"] . . . ACR allows for either the data to be written to the main file or in a separate sidecar . . . I'm not sure that is true. As far as I am aware, RAW images, either .DNG or .PEF are effectively read only and can't be edited. RAW conversion s/w needs to know how ...

Pentax Rumoured To Announce the K-3 Full Frame DSLR At Photokina
HI, Thought this would have been posted already but can't find it here. Link to full article Previous rumors have the K-3 sporting a 24MP sensor, 29-point SAFOX X/w light wavelength AF sensor, 6fps continuous shooting at highest resolution, 1080p and 720p video recording at 60/30/25 and 24 f...

Pentax Rumoured To Announce the K-3 Full Frame DSLR At Photokina
Still rumour, whereas the headline got me thinking this was an official announcement. The rumours are beginning to coalesce into something plausible though. There are still some things that don't ring true; the D600 sensor which the article suggests may be shared by the 'K3', is actually supposed to...

Pentax Rumoured To Announce the K-3 Full Frame DSLR At Photokina
This was the camera 'announced' on the 01/04/2012 - there have not been any changes to the specification or the picture since then! No, there's a mash up of the April Fools Day K3 picture and specs (quoted as 'previous rumours have included...') and the recent rumours from via RiceHigh's blog: ...

Pentax Rumoured To Announce the K-3 Full Frame DSLR At Photokina
I won't be able to afford one whatever the price, however I still want to see it appear, as I want to see 'Pentax' the brand strengthened and given more credibility. On the subject of price, if $2800 is fairly accurate, that equates to about £1875-£1900 body only, although the UK price often ends...

Pentax Rumoured To Announce the K-3 Full Frame DSLR At Photokina
If the rumour is true then I sincerely hope Pentax are not going to abandon top end models with APS-C sensors, unless of course the F/F has some gizmo which crops the sensor to APS-C and allows use of DA lenses.

unless of course the F/F has some gizmo which crops the sensor to APS-C and allows use of DA lenses. Not unreasonable as I think a crop on a 24MP sensor would give 16MP.

On the subject of price, if $2800 is fairly accurate, that equates to about £1875-£1900 body only, although the UK price often ends up closer to the dollar equivalent. I would say that they need to bring it in at below £2000, particularly if it uses the same sensor that will have had a 6 months hea...

Yes, but you still have all the bulk of the FF body. It's not just a few extra mm for...

Pentax Rumoured To Announce the K-3 Full Frame DSLR At Photokina
It could be that the whole Full Frame ballyhoo is about ten years behind the times. Come and gone already. Unless you are a press or media person who really really needs this stuff, the world's moved on. I do very much agree with this. Apart from the low noise 'advantage', which is so last-decade...

Pentax Rumoured To Announce the K-3 Full Frame DSLR At Photokina
I was recently standing next to some press photographers who had the whole full-frame thang with them to cover an event. The size of their kit was just ridiculous for any other purpose and must have weighed a ton. I reckon each one was carrying at least £10,000 or £15,000' worth of equipment (2x bod...

Pentax Rumoured To Announce the K-3 Full Frame DSLR At Photokina
Exactly. The improvement in sensor technology means that there is increasingly less need for a big sensor. The new Olympus OM-D E-M5 seems to be getting good reviews claiming that its MFT sensor is now closely matching the current APS-C sensors with the advantage of a smaller body and lenses. Which ...

Not unreasonable as I think a crop on a 24MP sensor would give 16MP. The D700 has a 12MP sensor and gives 5MP files in DX mode. Presumably that would mean a 24MP sensor would give 10MP files.

unless of course the F/F has some gizmo which crops the sensor to APS-C and allows use of DA lenses. Not unreasonable as I think a crop on a 24MP sensor would give 16MP. I've just tried the maths on this: Full Frame sensor size = 36mm x 24mm = 864 sq mm APS-C (K-5) Sensor size= 23.7mm x 15.7mm =...

Pentax Rumoured To Announce the K-3 Full Frame DSLR At Photokina
Let us look at it from a different perspective and change the question: Is it possible to obtain indistinguishable pictures from cameras with sensors of different size? The answer is yes, for details see e.g.: http://www.josephjamesphotography.com/equivalence/ . However, there are also situati...

K5 makes a sound that does not sound good
Hi - just got my K5 - opened it - and was surproised (negatively) - the body makes a sound like something heavy is moving around near the battery grip. First I thought, it is the shake reduction device but it sounds like something really heavy and big is moving around. Is this normal - annd if so - ...

K5 makes a sound that does not sound good
In the K-5 Operating Manual on Page 17 it states - "Shake Reduction (SR) Shake Reduction (SR) on the K-5 features a PENTAX original system which uses magnetic force to move the image sensor at high speeds, compensating for camera shake. The camera may generate some operating noise when it is ...
