Now that's something I would love to eavesdrop on - a salesperson explaining the benefits of a 'FF' sensor! That would be fascinating. I know myself that I'd be able to explain a lot better certain things I have heard discussed in shops, but now, a FF sensor to an uniformed customer ... that would b...

There's a point I'm surprised no-one has made (unless I've missed it in this somewhat lengthy thread). Pentax may not actually sell that many FF sensor cameras if they were to produce one, but it would have a very marked effect on the Pentax brand as a whole, which would likely induce many more cust...

Some more conjecture but if it happens all good.:D The specs leaked on Photorumors from Sep. 23 appear to be mostly correct: 24MP Sony sensor, new autofocus system with more AF points, no AA filter, some new RGB sensor for either metering or AF not sure which. Some new tidbits for you to consi...

I have assbugers too... and I missed the whole conversation. :twisted: I do find having a hundred little boxes all lighting up like christmas lights in the viewfinder rather distrcting, and the bright 100% viewfinder is one of pentax's strong points... ( i think canon uses the light show to dis...

He's wearing a cardigan, glasses - and has a beard :shock: You have to listed to someone who so closely resembles a university lecturer :lol: Seriously he makes some good points for full frame but then mentions he uses a crop sensor camera :wink:

It's an interesting idea Don. What I didn't like about the Ricoh modular approach was that over the range of lenses we'd be using different sensors with different formats and different qualities. The single sensor approach gives consistency and that can be very important. Perhaps a semi-modular a...

the formats used by many cameras are compressed.... avi, mov, mjpeg, avchd etc.. some cinema cameras deliver a RAW format which is every bit of data as the sensor captured it. it is EXACTLY the same thing as RAW (dng or pef in our case) VS Jpeg..... I want RAW VIDEO for the same reasons I prefe...

I agree with many of the comments on the previous page. The timelapse limit is a complete have as it's simply a timer. ie take a photo once every minute. To have a number limit is useful if you only want this to happen for the next 2 hours, but it's silly if you want this to continue for the ne...

The options for video raw mimic the photo RAW vs JPG. Raw means straight off the sensor, with no camera profile editing done, so no sharpening or attempts at colour correction etc. In video terms it's exactly the same. Being difficult for users to use isn't much of an argument to me, as you could...

Serious guidance required, please.
2. Am I correct in assuming that CDAF is Contrast detect auto focus and is used only in doing videos and PDAF is Phase detect auto focus and is used only in 'still' photography? not quite correct :) Phase detect AF can only be used when the Mirror is down so cannot be used for video. Contrast ...

Serious guidance required, please.
On the K7 (and K5 I guess as well) you can choose to use either Phase or Contrast Detect AF during Live View operation. If using Phase then the mirror flips down quickly and up again, briefly interrupting the Live View. It is faster and more accurate (as Smeggy just said above Contrast is the slower...

Advice please on K-500 orientation sensor
My new K-500 which I have had for about 3 weeks does not seem to set the correct information in the orientation part of the exif data. It shows top,left irrespective of whether or not I hold the camera in portrait or landscape mode. Dos anyone else with one of these have the same problem? Is it like...

Advice please on K-500 orientation sensor
It may be in the menu settings, the K-r has an orientation function, but don't have it available to check where in the settings.
