Why is nobody selling K-7s?
K20D and K-7 both seems quite rare now. We're hanging on to our last K20D and perhaps K-7 owners are doing the same? The K20D is a good few years old now - but it clearly has ongoing value to you. Do you keep it because it offers anything practical in particular that the K5 doesn't, or is it more of...

Why is nobody selling K-7s?
these two cameras (K20D & K7) have been referred here as having the same sensor. I wonder is that really true? I only know the K7 personally, but I was thinking about some details covered in my guidebook to the K7, 'Magic Lantern Guide' written by Peter Burian. Here he talks about the advances over ...

split prism/microprism
No it won't affect autofocus as the AF is either split down to the AF snesor in the bottom of the camera or straight to Sensor for live view AF. I had a split prism AF screen on my old pentax film SLR and loved it. You might et some metering escripenciues by modifying a DSLR with one as meteri...

k5 video stuff.
I've been shooting video for a little while now with my K5 with some friends making a movie and I thought I would share some of the things I have learned. 1) Pentax camera's look pretty nice in a video rig, and the rubber on the focus rings of the da* lens work without any addon for follow focus ...

.... im never exactly sure of the shutter speed the k5 is using, although I know it's not too high due to using the gh2's and having a light meter (a high shutter speed in video causes juddery movement.... Talk of shutter speeds in relation to DSLR video has had me puzzled before, and here it is ag...

In terms of user creative control, in video mode I see that we can control the aperture (which will affect the DOF) and the ISO, which will alter the gain & sensitivity. We don't have 'shutter speed' control. Just as in taking a photo, video also has a shutter speed which is not to be confused wit...

I can understand the aspects you refer to about motion depiction, how long each pixels receives light which can make it blurry if too slow. But we are talking about different things right ? The 'electronic rolling shutter' you mention is obviously nothing to do with the mechnanical camera shutte...

The mechanical shutter isn't used in the video process on the k5 and most digital camera's.. infact I would be supprised if they are at all? Old film camera's still used a mechanical shutter, or a rotary disk shutter (or mirror to project an image onto a focus screen. While the electronic shutte...

So John, are you saying that the K7 & K5 do not have 'electronic rolling shutter' control by the user in order to avoid being taxed more highly as a 'video' camera as opposed to a still camera? They all have electronic shutters, the tax is related to camera's that can record 30mins+ of video in one ...

k5 video stuff.
The black magic pocket camera is only 1080p and an even smaller sensor than m4/3 (even though it uses the m4/3 mount) it will no doublt be a great camera and record much better detail than most dslr's although the recent canon RAW video hack will have an impact on there sales but there are people wa...

Thanks for the update Paul. I would guess the K-01 is best used for video with SR turned off and on a decent tripod or rig. I'll check out the file format options available. Regards David I've come to that conclusion after recently recording some video on the K30 (while walking backwards) that...

be nice if pentax gave us the option of selecting sensor shake SR or "silent mode SR" for video shooting...:cry: That would be great, as the MovieSR (the silent version) would have its uses (ie if you had no external mic). All it would take for pentax to have great dslr video would be an option t...

The K5 holds its ground!
Certainly the 700D has all the usual buttons (had one on a workshop today), but the touchscreen means that when viewing images you can just swipe through them, or just tap the screen in live view to tell it where to focus, or on the info screen, rather than navigating around with the 4-way buttons, ...

Come on everyone. The Theta is really good, but just think how much better it'll be when they bring out the FF version! :twisted: So much obsession with sensor size! What we really need first is the 's' version - I can't wait to crack on with some serious comparitive testing. :D

Anti climax or what I thought this meant " the sensor is this size" i.e FF :shock:

Good Ad???
Does make me want to buy another brand of camera:cry: How come? The emphasis seems to be on defining what's different to other brands, which is a fair approach don't you think? It was ok up until they started going on about all the colours you can have it in, Then how many more lenses they stock...
