K5II choice considerations - a new take
Checking the File Data - A Shock Discovery We would all expect, logically, that the 's' version of this shot would show more definition (less blur) 'out the can'. This should be inherent by design. There is no AA filter over the sensor of the 's' camera creating deliberate blur. The files I have ...

K5II choice considerations - a new take
As I understood it the raw files sooc should be just that raw files, straight from the sensor. From what I am aware the software should sharpen out the effect of the AA filter on files from cameras with the filter hence standard raw conversions looking slightly sharper with no user sharpening app...

K5II choice considerations - a new take
I believe the limit to how big we can print is going to be limited both by the pixel dimensions and resolution That's going to be a *big* print if you are going to optimise the image for that Nigel. I was able to get sharp 20x16 prints even out of the old 6MP sensor and probably could have gone la...

K5II choice considerations - a new take
Chris the k-5 is nit being compared here. There us a huge difference in iq between the original mki and the mkii bodies. There is however very little difference between the mkii bodies. this test is excellent and proved what i have thought all along �� Ok, thanks for the reply, that...

K5II choice considerations - a new take
My take is that, to simplify everything that has been said, the K5IIs produces more detailed images but you may not always/often be able to tell the difference. I think this applies, and has always applied, to photography and optics in general. We all sort of aspire to produce the best we can an...

K5-lls overexposure
Still no more issues with my K-5iis since updating firmware, it has now taken thousands of shots. I suspect if some are having problems this may be a faulty camera or possibly electrical contact issues between the camera and the lens. I would try cleaning the contacts on both camera and lens first...

Apparently you actually have to own the cameras in question before being qualified to make judgement. Gulp. Not own, but at least try for yourself. There's a very good reason for this, basically you don't know what limitations there were on the shots published. If you do it yourself you do. In ad...

But you can't argue it both ways, on the one hand saying that reviews are not to br trusted and on the other that they are scrupulously undertaken. The politically correct thing is a total red herring as it doesn't exist. Still, no point in going over the same ground time after time. I now ha...

I'm currently having a similiar dilemma and have read through quite a few revies of various alternatives...unfortunately I can't go too deeply into them on here as this forum doesn't really permit major discussion of other marques...I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions as to why that is :roll...

K5IIS V CANON 6D
The best, most highly spec'd camera in the world is still going to produce mediocre results if not equipped with decent (read expensive) glass and/or it's in the hands of somebody less able to take advantage of it's functions 'n features. Even some of the most expensive lenses available for any g...

I would of though quality glass should be the priority whatever camera one buys. One would get the maximum from any given sensor with the best glass. That is to say get the best glass you can afford to get the most from your sensor at any given focal length. I think DXOMark scores will sho...

K30 or K50?
Why not get the K30? K50 was just announced and I don't think a view sample will be out so soon. K30's video is capable enough as I have tested it and I can record for a good 15 minutes without he sensor heating up, unlike the K5 which heated up after 5 minutes of video even in an air conditione...

K30's video is capable enough as I have tested it and I can record for a good 15 minutes without he sensor heating up, unlike the K5 which heated up after 5 minutes of video even in an air conditioned room. While I agree that is good to know that it can do that, why would you want to? A more interes...

K-30 vs OM-D
I went from Pentax (K-7) to m43, had the OM-D for a year or so, and have now returned to Pentax (K-5). I'd seriously consider the K-5 at the prices you can pick them up from SRS. The sensor in the OM-D is spectacular and I suspect based on very similar technology to the Pentax - both being Sony-...

K-30 vs OM-D
All cameras are quite useless at focusing accurately see.... http://www.slrgear.com/articles/focus/focus.htm Live view is about the most accurate way. but it's better to focus bracket or at least repeat the shot a few times. Most of the Pentax AF problems (apart from tracking) should have b...

K-30 vs OM-D
Oh, I cannot afford a D800 either. In fact, I cannot even afford the OM-D :D The main point there was that one needs to jump up fairly significantly in sensor size from MFT to get a better image. Most of us don't need anything better than MFT/APS-C.
