K10D tilted viewfinder conundrum
Some like the image quality of the K10D CCD sensor, but I prefer the K20D. I still use one for studio work. I have to say I have no pressing requirement to upgrade, as I'm very happy indeed with the image quality from my GX-10 for landscapes, which is what I normally photograph. The tilt is the only...

Views from PU's who have upgraded from K5 to K5IIS - Please :)
I could see the advantages straight away when I reviewed the cameras. Some months on I can offer a bit of lateral thinking. The Ricoh GR shares much of the spec of the K-5 IIs, especially the sensor and lack of AA filter. It also shares much of the characteristics. After using the GR for a whi...

K30 really 'entry level'?
There is probably very little difference (or none) in the images from a K5 and the K30, they seem to use the same sensor with minor tweaks. For Pentax, 'entry level' seems to mean that you do not get a wired remote socket or two dials and the top lcd panel. There are other bits too, so work out what...

K30 really 'entry level'?
The theme that's developing here would suggest that the traditional specifications cannot now be relied on in defining the user category for any given model in a range. I mean, as has been said above, there is becoming less iq differences between the 'top and bottom' in the range, as far ads the ...

K30 really 'entry level'?
Apparently the K500 has no focus point indicators in the viewfinder. No doubt that saves some money, but I can't help feeling that it is also to do with how Pentax perceive the knowledge and abilities of the target user. Are they assuming that the concept of focusing, and choosing specifically where...

Johnsons Photopia Feedback
I'm aware that Johnsons have had some mixed feedback on these forums, so I thought I should give credit where credit is due. Changing lenses outdoors on a recent holiday, I managed to get some dust on my focussing screen. Top tip - don't try to remove dust from a focussing screen with an arctic butt...

What happens when new top end model comes out?
I shall clear this Up once and for all, and it will be my last ever post on the matter. With the very short time I had, the new camera is a cracking bit of kit, in the same sense as the Nikon D7100, Canon 70D or Sony A77, in which the new camera fits into that segment. Why the reason I will no...

What happens when new top end model comes out?
It seems to me that you have presented a balanced view in your last post Matty; OK there was some misunderstanding earlier on words and I think that Dr. O. was genuinely trying to gain useful information and wasn't meaning to provoke in the slightest. Whether the camera is a big enough step up fr...

Pentax Open Day - 9th October 2013
According to one Japanese contact it will be the same APS sized 16.3Mb sensor, the same as on all recent Pentax DSLR and one mirrorless, (why fix what's not broken?), it will have no AA filter, but it will have one in software should you get Moire in an image, it will be USB3, it will have a headpho...

What will the new Pentax really offer us?
The current top of the range DSLR's from Pentax have "evolved" from a very good core design (the K7), improving in the key areas that many of us wanted (great sensor, better DR, class-leading low-light AF, removal of AA filter, etc.) but from the rumoured specs of the upcoming "K3" (maybe) what woul...

What will the new Pentax really offer us?
Would we really expect to see a significant improvement in AF? The K5-II is claimed to be "class leading", so is it likely to improve noticeably on that? When it comes to higher resolution, presumably that will only really become notable when cropping/enlarging? If you print an A3 from a K5-IIS a...
