K-50 anyone?
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 ...

Viewfinder Cover in in backlighting?
When we press the shutter release, providing the custom functions are set appropriately, then the exposure and focus will lock. Normally our eye will be at the viewfinder so no excess light can enter that way. If the 2 second or 12 second timer is used there's plenty of time to move away and get our...

Viewfinder Cover in in backlighting?
Thanks for those quick responses :D So, Smeggy, it has affected the metering. Do you remember what the effect was? John is saying that the risk is of some kind of light interference causing bands - I suppose this might be a bit like flare? I imagine the light would be reflected around the prism and ...

Viewfinder Cover in in backlighting?
Thanks for those quick responses :D So, Smeggy, it has affected the metering. Do you remember what the effect was? Yes it affected the exposure. can't remember whether the shot was under or over exposed though. unerexposure makes sense as the etra light would fool the camera into thinkign the scene...

Viewfinder Cover in in backlighting?
even using manual, if you set your exposure for arguements sake with 10 stop nd with no cover you will get "x" shutter speed put the cover on and the shutter speed will be longer by seconds, i have had it make a 10 second difference with 14 stops of nd filters. bright sunny day went from 15 to 25 I...

K5 image quality concerns - thoughts please
Hi all was in an old disused building and took some shots of a friend. Lighting was low but for the sensor in the K5 should be a piece of cake 0 renowned for low light and high iso performance yes ? I am appalled by the level of noise in the images ... really, really poor. Just wondering wh...

New to Pentax - K-7 & FA43
Keep away from available red light with the K-7, iso3200 usable in Raw format. 43 and Samsung sensor sing sweetly together. Enjoy :)

Three new cameras to play with
Interesting news re the Q7, going to a larger sensor (same as the MX1). Looks like they factored this in when they designed the lenses too.

K5IIs, how good then?
The problem i have is the price of the mkii is droppng, currently £679 whilst the mkiis pricng is remaining constant at £851 for the very slight difference in sharpness which can be attained in post between the mkii and mkiis, the price just cannot be jusitified for me. I would rather save the diffe...

Smeggy, I was looking into the D7100 to save me a lot of grief switching (Again, Yes I know Mike P!). Tried one out and when you realise in the flesh as opposed to just reading it online, that whatever card you use you really are only getting a six frame raw buffer it makes the K5 seem like a Nikon ...

He He :D I heard a rumour that the new one was going to use a new Sony Sensor, wonder if it's the 20.1Mp one in the A58? I'd be quite pleased if they backed off a little from 24, I briefly tried a Sony A77, now I know Sony doesn't do Noise reduction well but frankly it was a gritty monster! Not ev...

Bwaaahhhaahhhh!!!:lol: All I want is to be happy with what I've got Mike, I actually did fully intend to come back into Photography with a K5 but my mate who used to run Jessops in the Metro Centre, persuaded me I needed a D600, to be honest the difference between a good APSC and a Full Frame (S...

Said it before Nigel. We should have a square format sensor. You'd never need to switch between portrait and landscape mode. The camera body would be bigger to accommodate the taller sensor

I find carrying a few spare batteries far more convenient than turning what is a great reasonably sized camera into a heavy, bulky monster. I shoot a lot in portrait, and personally don't find any problem with the controls rotating the camera. I've even been tempted to switch completely to mirrorles...
