Pentax K-30 in the office
The K5 basically offers what my K7 offers, but with the better Sony sensor. The K30 seems to offer 90% of what the K5 offers, but adds some extras like better CDAF, enhancements to the AF system, notably for me, focus peaking, which I really look forward to trying. (The review didn't mention focus p...

Pentax recruiter :)
Just had a lot of fun getting a K100D for a guy I know who is a Pentax SLR film only shooter...hehe The buynow of $226 inc post was nice to jump on. That amounts to about 115 quid in the Queens money :) Came today with a very nice tamrac bag. Ran it through PhotoMe which revealed 4891 shots... Th...

Want to upgrade from *istDS to K-5...
Get it. I had sensor staining on my first one, which was also one of the first available after release. The replacement has been no problem and has been put through a lot. I went from the Ds to the K20D to the K-5. I wish I'd cut out the middle step tbh. I loved my Ds, hated the K20D and love...

K200D vs K5 at base ISO
I saw a mint K200D for sale the other night and couldn't resist You mean ... (sharp intake of breath here) ... you actually purchased a camera :shock: I think the K10D was certainly better than the K20D, K-7 and K-5 at base ISO, the sensor gave a much "glossier" look to the pictures imo.

K200D vs K5 at base ISO
I thought you had a Pentax DSLR a while back and sold it along with lenses to buy another brand ? Anyway, as to the sensor .. it really depends on what you shoot. I found quite a difference as I mainly like to shoot macro and (as I have said in a previous thread) to me the difference is like loo...

K-R ex-display
If it looks clean in general, that's a good sign. If you didn't notice any large scratches on the LCD, then that bodes well too. One other thing might be the inside.....stores often leave lenses off on DSLR's that are on display (and I assume this price is just for the body?). The sensor might be di...

like or hate K-5?
the compliments for K-5 are all over the internet. i have been owning one of this for a couple of months and sold my K20D about a month after having my K-5. some my comments on K-5( you may disagree) The improvement on focusing is massive; well control noise on high ISO, ISO3200 is totally usable...

"K-5 now officially discontinued in Japan"
My main desires are much better AF and mouch better high ISO performance I think we will see more AF points and better tracking but I would bet Pentax's SDM will cause a bottleneck on the speed side of things. Can't see it getting better ISO performance with a 24MP sensor unless it's a full frame...

Only think 24 megapixel will happen with full frame, otherwise I expect roughly same sensor, slightly improved af ala k30 and maybe a bigger frame buffer and faster fps. My wishes Extra SD card slot Better rear screen Less noise at higher iso

The Sigma is arguably only 15MP and deelivers very strange colour because of its Foveon sensor. Frankly, 16MM is more than enough to give stunning results, as we can already see, but 24MP is probably the next step regardless of whether most people need it or not.

the other argument for using really high MP counts is to provide 'pixel binning' like the 41MP Nokia 808 employs. For example you could have a 64MP sensor that 4X pixel bins down to 16MP. Much more detail than a regular 16MP sensor which uses ( kind of ) 1 pixel per colour and approximates.

I expect higher resolution from a FF sensor in 2012. It seems we're making different assumptions. I was assuming the K-5 replacement would be an APS-C camera. However, on past record, if and when Pentax ever did a FF camera, it would be something excitingly different.

"Happy to be educated here, but why isn't the 645D regarded as the Pentax 'FF' camera? Because it's not 35mm equivalent?" Because as John has explained it's 1.7 times bigger than 35mm size sensors. Perhaps also because, though the 645D (at A$12,000) is cheap for MF, it makes the pro 35mm size ...
