K-3 ?
Lenses throw a curved field if not corrected properly, but as most DSLR lenses are now reasonably flat field, especially macro lenses, a curved sensor might throw up more problems than it solved. It could be OK for compact fixed-lens compact cameras.

Ahh, I had got carried away with myself there and of course your right John, most lenses these days are pretty well corrected. Just postulating, theories, welcomed here. Will it still follow Pentax's ethos at all? Sony Sensor/non Sony? New Sensor tech? On Chip AF? F8 focus points? More focus ...

Just give me a K-5II with Canon/Nikon spec af, at least 24 af points, 24MP sensor with the same ISO performance as the K-5 and a 100-400mm WR lens. I would rather like a articulated rear screen but it's not essential. Personally I have no problem with the card door.

I'm ready to place my bet. It is going to be a K5mkIII, a 24mp sensor being the only difference. I also suspect they won't even release a version with a AA filter this time. I'll also add 'No FF' to the accumulator is pressed.

It is going to be a K5mkIII, a 24mp sensor being the only difference. It may well be the case that I don't really need any more than better AF and maybe a bit more resolution but it would take a bit more than your 24mp sensor to persuade me to open my wallet to upgrade from the K5 mark 1. If the bes...

K5 Lowlight AF good enough for Nightclub Photography?
It seems that the "hit and miss" AF of the K5 is the reason why Benjamin Kanarek has stopped using Pentax! And he was a real assset to Pentax :( Yeah, he's now in the Nikon forum, quite a lot on the big SUN readers site. :twisted: Pentax France apparently sponsored him for a bit but were none too h...

Pentax-Specific Landscape Shooters Checklist
Pentax-DSLR-Specific Landscapes Shooting Checklist If you’re like me and mostly take the camera out with family, grabbing shots handheld where possible, then when the time comes for some more considered tripod mounted landscape work, you might find the lack of practice can make you all fingers an...

Pentax-Specific Landscape Shooters Checklist
I'm doing a "packing gear for a holiday in Wales" check and already have thought of something I've missed, one of those cloths for cleaning the lcd. Expect to think of more by the time depart is minute away. Latest recent blunders forgot SD card no shops for miles. Remembered filters, forgot holders...

Best looking Dslr on the planet ?
:PI reckon matty has had a sneaky look at the soon to be announced Pentax K3 and this is it! Maybe:D But what I do know is that the first Pentax FF camera will use a Sony sensor and will look like a slightly larger K5.......... It will retail for £1499 body only, will not include wifi or NFC, ...

Best looking Dslr on the planet ?
Unfortunately, the camera would have to be fatter to allow for the lens to film plane distance to be correct, then the added LCD on the back! Perhaps with a new lens design, or a 4/3rds sensor!

Best looking Dslr on the planet ?
I for one cannot see any reason why Pentax should be unable to make something like this Apart from the film plane issue... Anyone who's taken apart a dSLR will see just how much stuff there is between the sensor and LCD and the depth that's required. You've got the massive thickness of the sensor...

Best looking Dslr on the planet ?
In the future, The sensor will be thin enough to place it at the same position where the Film pressure plate used to be. there will be only 1 SMD IC witch will do the whole job and the display screen will also be very thin. it could even stick a few mm out, without making the camera look bulky and t...

K30 Sensor Mark (Sometimes)
Just playing about this afternoon with K30 and Sigma 150-500. Suddenly a worm like thingy has appeared but it`s not consistent. The lens was not removed between shots. In desperation I checked the sensor and it`s spotlessly clean. I took another shot of the sky at the same focal length and nothing.

K30 Sensor Mark (Sometimes)
It's just a small mote of dust. Nothing to worry about. Get yourself an Arctic Butterfly it uses a small amount of static to attract the dust off and you only have to hover above the sensor for it to work. Highly recommended 8)8)

K10 and K200d: Same sensors?
I was just wondering, as I still do on occasion use and like my K200d, I know the MP size is the same but is the sensor the same? I haven't used a K10d before and am wondering about the differences and whether it would be worth looking for and exploring the CCD sensors? Would people rate the K20...

K10 and K200d: Same sensors?
Yes it's the same sensor. Must admit for low ISO shots I prefer the output of the CCD sensor.
