K5ii versus Sony A77
Pentax have got the AF fixed now and I know Axel, is a big fan of sharpness and the Sigma 8-16, so why not the K5IIs? mint SH Sony A900's go for about £850' Not any of the ones I have been watching on Ebay... :wink: Tempting as the sensor still stands up hence the strong prices, but the body i...

K5ii versus Sony A77
I just wish they would make their mind up about FF...it's a very simple "yes we will" or "no we won't" Its a difficult question to answer right now for them surely? If they say no at this point they don't have the crop sensor 2013 camera out (which might be enough to keep disappointed FF people ...

WTB: DSLR for a novice!
Personally I'd recommend the K10d, which is an enthusiast spec camera but would give you a lot of high end features to grow into at a low (under 100 quid perhaps?) price. I paid 90 for mine last year and I love it. Hmmm, I have a hankering for another K10D to use as a macro camera (sensor was brill...

Another thing I've noticed with the K10 is that LR3 gives the sensor a new lease of life - my old K200d, with the same sensor, used to struggle at higher ISO or when lifting shadows in Photoshop - coloured mottling that looked horrible. LR3 seems to avoid or at least reduce that.

WTB: DSLR for a novice!
I had a K-x and the lack of indication of the focus is annoying. The K-r fixes that. Both have a good sensor. I'd avoid the K-m, that is the most dated of the three and sensor-wise of a lesser quality. I do agree with the K10 recommendation if you have enough light because that sensor needs light to...

WTB: DSLR for a novice!
I'd avoid the K-m, that is the most dated of the three and sensor-wise of a lesser quality. Are you sure? Some praise the CCD sensor over the CMOS found in newer bodies. What they like is the colour rendering. Why anyone should consider the sensor to be of a lesser quality I do not understand. This ...

WTB: DSLR for a novice!
I would agree with John K above; the K-m has a fabulous sensor - at least it does in good light! Anything up to ISO 400 is great, but start to go above that setting and things deteriorate fast. The K-x on the other hand is a brilliant low light camera and for the prices these are selling at now th...

K-30 ta buy or not ta buy
I've not used a K-5 but I've seen a lot of comments that AF-C wasn't too brilliant. The K-30's Expanded Area AF actually works quite well with AF-C and the 11-AF point option. If you have an AF lock on say the centre AF point and the target briefly slips out of that AF sensor's area, then if a...

K-50 anyone?
also if this is true and the specs are right... this is telling a little of what is coming down the pipelines... I bet the absence of a mic jack, combined with a faster cpu to render those new video codecs, I'm thinking there would likely be a model one up from the k-5 coming..... faster cpu, be...

K-50 anyone?
A little more sober body to the K-30, same ISO performance as the K-5II. I think what is going to happen is thus:- K-50 official in the next week or two. K-5 replacement end July/Early August with possibly 20MP sensor K-FF mid/end September. Loads of solid rumours about new cameras during th...

K-50 anyone?
MattyH, it's always the case that the RRP is quoted at release date. When the items become available they will quickly settle to the "street price" and fall in line with everything else. It happens with all marques. Yes John,to be honest I am not to concerned about the RRP as this seems to be the...

The Q7 does look interesting and there's no size change to the cameras. Quite an achievement. Was very possibly designed for this size sensor originally and the smaller sensor was a stop gap enabling Hoya to launch prior to selling off the business

K-50 anyone?
Someone had posted that larger sensor will make the fisheye's angle of view closer to a classic fisheye 180 degrees, compared to 160 degrees with the old sensor. This might suggest that the larger sensor was always anticipated. There also looks to be a space around where the old sensor fits into the...

Some interesting comments have been put forward, mainly to do with the styling. However, lets put ourselves in a non-pentax users shoes. Someone who is either new to DSLR's or wish to change to something better. In the past, and it something we all have complained about, you go into a large camera ...
