K-5ii & K-5iis studio test shots
The K5ii has the same sensor. It is the K5iis that lacks an AA filter. It really does look a bit sharper.

K-5ii & K-5iis studio test shots
The K5ii has the same sensor. It is the K5iis that lacks an AA filter. It really does look a bit sharper. Probably worth considering then for those before the K5 model...personally I'm keeping my pennies for the full frame Simon

In real life. Will 'moire' really be a problem?
Well... The 645D and Q already have no AA filter ;-) Moire occurs when the frequency of the image approaches the resolution of the sensor. My understanding is that it was more of a problem at lower sensor resolutions. It's not impossible to get moire but seems pretty tricky, and when it does LR w...

K5 vs K200D
Hi Dave I "get" what you're saying, the k-5 is of course a much better camera under more difficult conditions and some of the shots I've had out of it at 3200 ISO and higher are amazing. I also "get" that the FA50mm will be loads better when it's wider open. But even under controlled lighti...

K5 or K5II?
I will be going from the K-7 (same sensor as K-20) to a K-5IIs. If you want to know why, take a look at this .

K5 or K5II?
I'm still a bit unclear on exactly the nature of the of IQ improvements that we should be seeing on the 's' model (without the filter). There were some examples posted on another thread which looked to me, what I would describe as 'sharp', like they had been well sharpened in post processing - very ...

K5 or K5II?
Direct and valid comparisons will always be difficult for an individual photographer - I mean, once we get it sorted in our minds on what exactly we need to be looking for, we're going to have to rely on trustworthy technical reviews on the web - I doubt there will be much use in going into Jessops ...

K-5ii & K-5iis REVIEW
What I don't like is the hyperbole .... "the K-5 IIs also employs a filterless sensor design, meaning that it will be able to deliver a much higher effective image resolution" It's not 'much higher' it's slightly higher

K-5ii & K-5iis REVIEW
As guesses go I guess you really have as much idea as any of us as to how many engineers worked on the project. Notwithstanding that, the K-5 IIs is a bold idea, very interesting, and quite unique at its price point. It will be interesting also to see which way DSLR development will go - to AA...

K30 price drop and cashback
So now I"m back to square one - can anyone with a K30 already tell me what the low light AF is like? I'm not bothered so much about the K5 II's improved ability to find focus in complete darkness. I'd just rather that whatever new camera I end up with doesn't have the same tendency of my K20D to bla...

K30 price drop and cashback
With K-5, just use the free Handbrake program to re-encode it to h.264/.mp4 at one tenth the size (for BBC/ITV HD quality). With my 4 core Athlon 965 and Windows 8 (7 will be similar) it takes just over 3 minutes to convert a minute of Pentax mjpeg as 1080p HD. And as you have almost infiniite quali...

K30 price drop and cashback
As the person who started this thread I knew the day I saw the K30 price drop that I was staring at getting rid of my newly acquired Panasonic G3 and lenses. Earlier in the year I had handled the K30 and was very impressed, but with a price of £600 it wasn't difficult to resist. Never in my wildest ...

K30 price drop and cashback
I have a KX so it has the Prime II Imaging engine and 12MP. The K-30 has the Prime M Imaging engine and 16.28MP. The K5 has the Prime II Imaging Engine and 16.3MP. What is the difference in IQ between the KX and the other two? The K5 has mirror lock up which I believe helps to prevent any ca...

K30 price drop and cashback
There is a wired remote shutter release for the K5, the KX only has an infra red remote release with the sensor on the front of the camera, what does the K30 have? Will a remote release, wired or infra red, work in continuous exposure mode with any of these cameras? The review of the K-30 says t...

K30 price drop and cashback
[quote:3496ace15f="HowieM"]If I didn't have so much invested into my Nikon gear I think would could quite easily move to Pentax completely. Is having two systems a drawback for you? Best regards I don't think so. I still shoot a lot of film so just alternate between cameras anyway. Sometimes I'l...

K7 vs K30
Hi, I've been wanting to upgrade from my K7 to a K5 for a while, but haven't been able to get the funds together. The price drop on the K30 means I could stretch to that, but I'm not sure whether to go for it. I only really use the K7 for stills, so the video improvements on the K30 don't make...

Will I see a difference kx and k5
The Jessops price doesn't look that cheap to me. You would be better buying the 'body only' from SRS Microsystems, or even watch out on the Forum for a second hand one with low usage; they appear on here quite regularly. You can then spend the difference on quality lenses (very important). Rega...
