Why do Pentax lag with autofocus?
Why is it some people on forums always want a fight! I give up. I'll just wait to see how Ricoh get on in the future as they seem very sensible and probably know that AF is the major concern of otherwise very happy Pentax owners. Dave[quote:3496ace15f="awaldram"] Nope I think all manufacturers...

Why do Pentax lag with autofocus?
Not sure where you see 'wanting a fight' in simple facts but as you say to each his own. Ps you seem to be repeating yourself you may want to remove the 2nd copy, saying the same thing twice is a little confusing. I think raw performance of Pentax cameras is unlikely to alter at the price poi...

Why do Pentax lag with autofocus?
Back to dcweather's original posts, I'm surprised that no-one's picked up on him saying he doesn't use AF-C. If not, and he's using AF-S, once the camera does lock on, it won't then try to follow focus, and will happily fire away with the subject getting further out of focus all the time. My pre...

Why do Pentax lag with autofocus?
As far as I know, one of the major factors here is that Canon and Nikon both use predictive focus, and have done for years. The camera measures the speed that the subject's distance is changing, and then predicts where it will be once the mirror has flipped up (which also cuts off any input to the ...

24mp APS-C?
presumably the excellent 16mp sony sensor wont be around forever. I would think a version of the 24mp sensor found in the nikon 3200/5200 /sony alpha range made by sony will end up in a Pentax body at some point. If K5 is anything to go by the Pentax pixie dust will make the most of the sensor. I...

24mp APS-C?
This seems to hint at that very thing. When I done a general search for the term "24Mp APS-C sensor", there was also mention of the possibility that Sony also have this in mind. Could be worth waiting for - or perhaps not. Probably best to wait until it comes out, and gets good critical revi...

The 24 MP sensor on the D3200 (and probably the D5200) is not made by Sony

DXO labs seem to think otherwise. Confusion reigns

24mp APS-C?
second paragraph JR- I'm afraid my pc skills are not quite up to the standards of others.:D I'm not saying it is a sony sensor although I thought it was- it appears that in various sites it is identified as Sony, Nikon and even Toshiba!

24mp APS-C?
What it actually doesn't say is that it's a Sony sensor. It says that the sensor shares some features with the Sony expert range of sensors. It makes no specific reference to who makes it.

The Nikon D3200’s great strength lies in its Sony CMOS sensor, starting with a record dynamic range that surpassed 13EV at 100 ISO, making the D3200 of great interest for landscape photography. that is a direct quote- you are mistaken:wink:

24mp APS-C?
Things have expanded and we our selves have moved from having one SP1000 with 55mm lens to having three DSLR bodies, many lenses and then compacts as well. What can we possibly expand to next? Apologies if I've read you wrong john but I think you're missing the point here. We now live in a full on c...

24mp APS-C?
A large 'part' of the reason I bought a K5 when I did was that I was worried that the upcoming replacement would have had the 24mp Sony sensor which I don't feel would suit my needs/ wants:D If it does come along then so be it, it may surprise a few people:D

24mp APS-C?
When we refer to 'IQ improvements', a lot of the emphasis, both on what people desire and what might be delivered, is on high ISO / low light performance (ie reduced noise at ever higher iso settings), which is obviously important to people. As a photographer who only infrequently makes use of hi...

24mp APS-C?
As a photographer who only infrequently makes use of high iso settings (400 +), I am curious to know whether upgrading to a newer model (which boasts of improved high iso performance) would also offer any additional IQ at the low settings - I mean, would the sensor give more IQ to images shot at ISO...

New Pentax Firmware updates for 6 cameras
Interesting that contrast AF ( through sensor ) has needed a FW tweak for the 'mortgage requiring' DA 560mm :)
